Diatomite – innovative technologies in plant care

Due to accelerating technical progress and the ever-increasing development of industry, the ecological situation of the environment is noticeably worsening, negatively affecting the human body. The most common and dangerous pathologies are associated with decreased immunity, poor nutrition, lack of clean drinking water, polluted air, and widespread chemicalization. In such conditions, it is your own garden that will help a family reduce the chemical load on the body, grow an ecologically safe crop of vegetables, berries, and fruits for human health.

To help gardeners, many different agricultural chemicals have been developed, which, when used correctly, reduce the cost of maintaining the plot, destroy weeds, maintain and increase soil fertility, rid the crops and soil of diseases and pests, ensuring a fairly high yield of good quality. However, chemicals always contain a toxic substance, which, if you lose your vigilance, increases the risk factor for your own health, and the pests that survive chemical treatment in subsequent generations develop resistance to repeated treatments, which leads to the need to use stronger poisons.

This is why the Production Company QUANT, which has been specializing in the development of environmentally friendly products since 2009, began research into the creation of biological plant protection products that do not have a toxic effect on humans when used.

Brief information about diatomite

The basis for the development of the product was the natural porous mineral diatomite. This is a sedimentary rock consisting of the remains of ancient microscopic seaweed diatoms. In appearance, when ground, diatomite resembles flour. Therefore, the mineral is also called “Infusor Earth” or “Mountain Flour”. Diatomite has the ability to absorb huge amounts of liquid. After special processing of the raw material, the adsorbing property of the “flour” increases thousands of times. The smallest particles of this product, obtained using a unique technology, contain up to 88% silicon dioxide in amorphous form and have sharp cutting edges. Ultra-miniature and incredibly strong particles (the Mohs hardness coefficient is 6) stick to the bodies of insects, damaging joints and articulations, creating a molecular sieve in the protective wax layer, which leads to the death of the insect from desiccation.

Thus, we have the first insecticide on the Russian market based on physical contact action, which does not contain toxins and does not cause resistance in insect pests – “Ecokiller”.

What is special about the bioinsecticide “Ecokiller”

  • “Ecokiller” is a completely natural product that has no analogues. It consists of components of natural origin, completely harmless to people and animals, plants and soil.
  • The safety and effectiveness of the product has been confirmed by the Federal Budgetary Scientific Institution Research Institute of Disinfection of Rospotrebnadzor, and confirmed at the All-Russian Research Institute of Vegetable Growing, where the effect of various products on plants and soil properties is carefully studied.
  • The Ecokiller product does not cause allergies, which allows it to be used in any conditions, in industrial and residential premises by professional disinfection services, as well as by the population at home.

How does the bioinsecticide “Ecokiller” “work”

“Ecokiller” consists of special microparticles with abrasive properties. When it hits insects, the sharp edges of the abrasive physically destroy their upper wax cover. It practically turns into a sieve. The insect loses the ability to retain moisture in the body and dies from dehydration. The specially developed formula of the preparation is designed for the physical destruction of fairly small insect species – ants, ticks, fleas, bedbugs, as well as against aphids, caterpillars, ticks and other small insect pests.

The main condition for the effectiveness of the Ecokiller insecticide is direct contact with the insect in dry weather and in the absence of access of insects to water.

Application areas of the insecticide “Ecokiller”

The bioinsecticide “Ecokiller” is not only an effective means of getting rid of insect pests of agricultural crops and other plants. It is successfully used in residential buildings, apartments against bedbugs, fleas, cockroaches, ants, ticks, lice, earwigs and other insects. “Ecokiller” is effective for cleaning utility rooms, various warehouses and storage facilities from insect pests. The product has no limited shelf life.

Application of Garden Diatomite

To enrich the soil with organic matter, the company recommends using biofertilizers developed on the basis of diatomite. “Garden diatomite” conditions the soil, prevents the leaching of fertilizers (especially from sandy loam soil), absorbs heavy metals, residues of chemical pesticides and other substances that worsen the quality of soil.

As a soil improver, “Garden diatomite” is added in autumn or spring during digging at the rate of 100-125 g/sq. m. of area. In heavy clay soils, it acts as a loosening agent, increasing their air permeability and moisture capacity.

The application of “Garden Diatomite” when digging light soils increases the soil’s ability to retain water and nutrients, gradually releasing them to the plant root system when necessary. “Garden Diatomite” is scattered over the soil surface and embedded into the soil by loosening to a depth of 5-6 cm.

Bioinsecticide “Ecokiller” against insects

Safe Ant Control

To destroy garden ants, it is enough to sprinkle a bioinsecticide

“Ecokiller” around anthills and on ant trails. Treatment is carried out:

  • dry powder in dry, windless weather;
  • suspension (aqueous solution 120 g/l); consumption rate: preventive treatment – from 50 ml/m2, disinfection – from 100 ml/m2.

Dry powder spraying

  • The product is applied at a rate of 50-100 ml/m2.
  • The duration of action of the drug is not limited.

Safe control of aphids and spider mites

To destroy aphids and spider mites, “Ecokiller” is sprayed in the crown of garden crops affected by aphids. Roses, currants, raspberries and other berry bushes are also pollinated. The treatment is repeated after rain.

Safe destruction of the Colorado potato beetle

To destroy insect pests that affect garden crops (Colorado potato beetle and its larvae, caterpillars, scale insects, etc.), use an aqueous suspension. Mix 1/2-1/3 cup of powder in 1 liter of water. Treat green plants with the resulting suspension.

The main principles of the company’s work

  • environmental responsibility for manufactured products,
  • customer focus and continuous improvement of partnerships.
