Solabiol SOSOL600 Soil Insects - 600 g Box

Solabiol SUCCESS SOL 600 g - Organic Soil Insecticide (Reference: SOSOL600) is an innovative, environmentally sound solution for protecting your crops against the main underground pests. This new-generation plant protection product harnesses the power of spinosad, an active substance of natural origin, to deliver effective protection that respects the environment.

Applications and target pests

SUCCESS SOL stands out for the versatility of its action against harmful soil insects. It targets first and foremost potato wireworms and those of other tubers, the click beetle larvae that cause considerable damage by tunnelling into the tubers. The product is also highly effective against carrot fly and other root pests, whose larvae attack the roots of vegetables directly.

This solution is perfectly suited to amateur gardeners wanting to protect their vegetable plots, to professional market gardeners and to growers of potatoes, carrots, turnips, radishes and other root or tuber crops. The product is effective against many other underground insects as well, giving overall protection to the root system.

Technical innovation and mode of action

Spinosad, the active substance in SUCCESS SOL, is a major step forward in biological control. This molecule of natural origin works in two ways at once: by direct contact with the insect and by ingestion when the pest consumes the treated particles.

The mechanism of action is based on the activation of acetylcholine receptors in the insect's nervous system. This neurological disruption causes involuntary muscle contractions, tremors, then progressive paralysis. The insect quickly stops feeding, thereby limiting the damage to the crops.

The formulation as ready-to-use granules is a considerable practical advantage. This presentation allows direct application without dilution, ensuring precise dosing and even distribution in the soil.

Application method and practical use

SUCCESS SOL is applied at the strategic moment of planting or sowing. This timing makes it possible to create a protective barrier around the young plants or the seeds immediately, at the point when they are most vulnerable to attack.

The spreading technique consists in distributing the granules evenly over the whole depth of the planting or sowing furrow. This vertical distribution is crucial in order to create a complete protective zone around the tuber or the seedling. It is essential to fill in the hole properly, or to make sure the furrow is correctly closed, after spreading.

This method ensures that the insecticidal barrier stays in place and keeps its protective effect. The absence of dilution considerably simplifies the application process, reducing the risk of dosing errors and making the treatment as effective as possible.

Expert advice and getting the best results

To get the most out of SUCCESS SOL, several complementary strategies can be put in place. Observing the ground beforehand makes it possible to identify the areas at risk and to adapt the treatment accordingly. Damp soils favour the activity of underground insects, making preventive treatment all the more important.

Crop rotation is an effective complementary approach, in particular by alternating susceptible crops with repellent ones. Combining the treatment with beneficial nematodes can reinforce the action of spinosad for an integrated control approach.

Application in heavy rain should be avoided, as this could wash the granules away before they act. Storage of the product must be in a dry place at moderate temperature, away from direct light, to preserve the integrity of the spinosad.

For susceptible crops such as potatoes, the application can be repeated at earthing up to reinforce the protection. This double application creates a layered barrier that is particularly effective against wireworms.
