Testimonials

Maria Zakharovna, 54 years old, Samara
Having once tried "Corado" against the Colorado potato beetle, I no longer want to go back to other means, and even more so to manual collection of pests. The insecticide can be used on the same site for several years in a row. It is not addictive to beetles.
