I was prompted to write an article, or rather to systematize information on the well-worn topic of FUNGICIDES, by a recent letter from one very respected rose grower, the owner of the nursery, Vladimir Fedorovich Martynenko. In response to my sadness about the loss of 1/5 of the order, he wrote to me the following: “I am very sorry about the loss of your rose seedlings. This was not observed even after harsh winters. The cause of your disease outbreak could be high humidity or the presence of a fungus in the soil or on seedlings. In your case it looks like a fungal disease. At high humidity, fungicide treatment is necessary; alternating systemic (10 days) and contact (5 days).” In general, it was read between the lines - learn the materiel. And I made a cheat sheet for myself, which I risked posting publicly as an article.

Recent decades have indeed been marked by an unprecedented increase in viral, bacterial, and fungal diseases of all cultivated plants without exception. Bacterial and viral diseases are practically untreatable, no matter what actions gardeners take. With fungal diseases (late blight, gray rot, other types of rot, powdery mildew, downy mildew, fusarium, cluster blight, root rot, various leaf spots, etc.) when used correctly, fungicides - contact, systemic - cope successfully.
Fungicidal substances (from the Latin “fungus” - mushroom and “caedo” - I kill), chemical substances capable of completely (fungicidal) or partially (fungistatic) suppressing the development of plant pathogens and used to combat them; one of the groups of pesticides.

Fungicides are classified:
Depending on the chemical properties they are inorganic (sulfur compounds - lime-sulfur decoction, ground and colloidal sulfur; copper - copper sulfate, copper oxychloride; mercury - mercuric chloride) and organic.
Depending on the effect on the pathogen fungicides are divided into preventive or protective (prevent infection of the plant or stop the development and spread of the pathogen at the site of infection before infection occurs, suppressing mainly its reproductive organs - most fungicides), and medicinal or eradicating (act on the mycelium, reproductive organs and overwintering stages of the pathogen, causing their death after infection of the plant).
Nature of use fungicides are also different: seed protectants (used to combat diseases whose pathogens are spread with seeds or are in the soil), preparations for soil treatment (destroy soil pathogens of plant diseases, especially effective in greenhouses), fungicides for treating plants during the dormant period (they destroy the overwintering stages of the pathogen, are used in early spring before buds open, late in autumn and winter), fungicides for treatment during the growing season (mainly preventative preparations used in summer), for spraying and fumigation of storage facilities, in particular granaries and vegetable storage facilities.
According to the nature of distribution within plant tissues fungicides are contact (local) and systemic (intraplant).
Contact fungicides
Contact fungicides, when applied to plants, remain on the surface and cause the death of the pathogen upon contact with it. Some of them have a local deep effect, for example, they are able to penetrate the outer shells of seeds. The effectiveness of contact preparations depends on the duration of action, the amount of fungicide, the degree of retention on the treated surface, photochemical and chemical resistance, weather, etc.
Contact preparations - such as zineb, polycarbocin, copper oxychloride, sulfur, mancozeb, Bordeaux mixture, and others - are not capable of treating already diseased plants, but they reliably protect them from infection. Plants do not develop resistance to them - this is their main advantage. But their period of protective action does not exceed 10-12 days before the first heavy rain, after which the processing is repeated. The frequency of applications for contact fungicides is the highest: from 3 to 6 applications per season. These drugs almost do not penetrate inside the plant, protecting only those places where they are located directly. Therefore, when working with contact fungicides, try to thoroughly spray not only the surface of the leaves, but also their underside, since many types of fungi begin to germinate precisely from the underside of the leaves.
Systemic fungicides
Systematicity in plant protection means the ability of the active substance to be redistributed from the place of application to other places, parts of the plant, not only on the surface, but inside the plant. Systemic fungicides penetrate into the plant, spread through the vascular system and suppress the development of the pathogen due to direct action on it or as a result of metabolism in the plant. Their effectiveness is mainly determined by the speed of penetration into plant tissue and to a lesser extent depends on meteorological conditions.
These drugs protect plants both outside and inside. Systemic fungicides can have a therapeutic effect, but in the early stages of infection. Within 2-6 hours from the moment of treatment, any precipitation (or watering) is not able to reduce the effectiveness of such preparations. And their protective effect lasts for 2-3 weeks. However, pathogenic fungi very quickly develop resistance to systemic fungicides. To slow down this process, international experts on plant protection products recommend using them no more than twice per season on the same crop. And if additional treatments are required, then you need to use drugs either of contact action, or a systemic fungicide, but of a completely different chemical group.
Chemical groups of systemic plant protection products (analogs are given in parentheses)
1. Azoles (triazoles) – Penetrate deep into the plant leaf, moving behind the growth point, protect young shoots well from diseases, are excellent for treating many types of fungal plant diseases - Alto, Allegro Plus, Baitan, Bumper, Skor (Bogard, Dividend), Sportak, Split, Topaz, Impact, Vincit, Vectra, Bayleton, Tozonit, Vial, Lospel, Real, Premis25, Raxil, Rex, Terrasil, Tilt, Sumi8, Falcon combined fungicide, Folikur combined, Shavit combined.

Like insects, fungi on plants develop resistance to all fungicides of one chemical group at once.

The best plant protection options are:
alternating contact and systemic fungicides;
alternating 2-3 systemic drugs, but from different chemical groups.

They have been produced for many years mixed fungicides, consisting of 2-3 active ingredients, and they are:
simultaneously contact and systemic action (Kurzat R. Odram, Acrobat MC, Ridomil Gold MC, Sandofan M8, Tattu, Oksihom, Pilon, Artemi S, Poliram DF, Artserid, Avixil, others). They are used as contact preparations up to 4 times per season with the concentration of the working solution usually not lower than 0.3-0.4% (30-40 g per 10 liters of water). Please note that lower concentrations of solutions lead to poor results. So this is exactly the case when “you can’t spoil the porridge with oil”... Prepare solutions of fungicides of this group, following the recommendations of the instructions, but it is even better to make them more concentrated than written.
only systemic action, may belong to the same chemical group or to completely different ones. This is done only in order to expand the spectrum of action on harmful fungi. Such fungicides include Mikal, Archer, Ryder, Alto-Super, Falcon, Thanos, and others. They are used no more than twice per season.

Currently time is running active development and production of so-called biological fungicides. Their fundamental difference from chemical fungicides - a non-chemical effect on the pathogen, for example, bacterial preparations contain a certain set of bacteria that can cause the death of a number of types of pathogenic fungi.
There are a lot of types of biological fungicides, the main ones are: Fitosporin, Barrier, Zaslon, Fitop, Integral, Baktofit, Agat, Planzir, Trichodermin. Biological fungicides are characterized by low toxicity and high efficiency.
Basic rules for using medications
1. Spray only in cloudy, windless weather, as well as early in the morning - at dawn or in the evening - at sunset. Precipitation within 4-6 hours after treatment reduces the effectiveness of many fungicides.
2. Be sure to use rubber gloves, because All plant protection products penetrate the skin quite well and are then absorbed into the blood. It is enough to wear a light respirator or bandage on your face.
3. With the systematic use of the same fungicides, their effectiveness may decrease due to the formation of persistent races of the pathogen. To prevent this phenomenon, it is necessary to strictly observe the dosage of the drug and alternate the fungicides used. Due to the large value of F. for Agriculture their production is constantly increasing.
4. Try to spray the plants themselves with fungicides, not the soil. A high-quality pneumatic sprayer will help save money, time, and preserve your health. Therefore, do not save on buying a sprayer.
5. It is prohibited to treat with systemic fungicides all green or other crops that use green stems or leaves for food, as well as radishes, daikon, strawberries, currants, gooseberries, cherries, cherries (the last four can be processed only before flowering) , since all these crops absorb toxic compounds very well, they do not have time to get rid of them before they are consumed, even if the waiting periods are observed.
6. The working solution is prepared immediately before use and can be stored for no more than a day.
7. Do not allow any fungicides to get into water bodies, as this leads to the death of all living things in them. Poisons are destroyed more quickly in the surface layer of soil, which is not intended for use for vegetable gardens, hayfields, pastures, and playgrounds. The sun and soil microorganisms are the main destroyers and neutralizers of any toxic compounds.
8. Store fungicides in a dry, dark, preferably frost-free room away from food products. All packages must be sealed, as moisture in the air changes physical properties drugs. The shelf life of biological products is 1-2.5 years, chemicals - 10 years or more, regardless of the expiration date indicated on the container label.

Dear rose growers, if I made a mistake in something, please correct me. Please add to the list and share other information about the fight against “fungal” diseases.

The article was written using online materials, including https://ru.wikipedia.org/, http://ogorod23.ru/, http://www.floralworld.ru/

The modern agrochemical market offers a large number of various drugs for the prevention and treatment of existing plant diseases. As they say, for every taste and color. However, ridding the garden and vegetable garden of problems of a bacteriological nature is not so easy. It is not enough to select the names of fungicides from the list and purchase them. You need to correctly calculate how they will act and how well they will work against a particular disease. Let's take a closer look, what are contact and systemic fungicides for plants.

The drug Maxim (the commercial name of the fungicide) and others like it can be purchased independently and treated with it on seeds and bulbs immediately before planting in the ground.

Names of fungicides

Contact fungicides for plants These are prophylactic drugs. They protect very well, but usually cannot cure and show poor results if infection occurs. Therefore, they are used as early as possible, starting at the very beginning of the season, thoroughly spraying all fruit and berry crops before the buds begin to open. During flowering, no treatment is carried out (this applies primarily to copper-containing preparations, since copper accumulates in different parts of plants, and when it gets on flowers, in the ovaries and fruits, and is excreted very slowly).

• Treatment with a contact fungicide is carried out only in dry weather, carefully, since the effectiveness of the preparations directly depends on how much of the plant is covered with it. One of the advantages of contact drugs is the slow development of resistance (resistance) to them on the part of pathogenic microorganisms.
• The effectiveness of contact fungicides strongly depends on weather conditions, the resistance of the drug to sun exposure, and the degree of “stickiness” to the surface. If certain conditions worsen, new treatment may be needed within 5-7 days.

Contact and systemic fungicides

Locally acting agents can be used throughout the season; for example, treatment of plantings against late blight is effective if carried out systematically before the first manifestations of the disease appear in the area.

Systemic fungicides for plants

Systemic fungicides penetrate the plant itself and act on the pathogen from the inside. The products can be used at different stages of plant development. Systemic fungicides for plants can be both preventive and curative. They are much less dependent on weather conditions, since they are not washed away by precipitation. However, temperature changes can reduce the immunity of the plant itself and, conversely, aggravate its condition.

Duration of action

The duration of action of systemic fungicides depends on the susceptibility of the fungus and the rate at which resistance develops. Unfortunately, fungi and bacteria “get used” to the products of this group faster. Therefore, the effectiveness of the drugs may decrease after 4–7 days. The way out of the situation is to change the fungicide to one containing another active substance, as well as the use of a complex product (systemic + contact drug).

In some cases, manufacturers combine two fungicides or a fungicide and an insecticide in one product. The result is a set whose effectiveness is, as a rule, higher, and the period of plant protection after treatment is longer. Typically, the mixture is made up of one contact fungicide and one systemic or two systemic ones. Such products are called combined (contact-system), complex or mixed fungicides.

Some names of fungicides

Here are some names of fungicides according to the nature of distribution in the plant.

1. Contact drugs: Abiga-pik, Bravo, Maxim, Ditan m45, Pennkozeb, Profit, Thiovit jet, Bordeaux mixture, Copper sulfate, Iron sulfate, Ordan, Hom, Rovral SP,

3. Combined preparations (contact and systemic fungicides)– Amistar Trio, Vectra, Vitaros, Cabrio, Quadris, Consul, Ordan, Oksikhom, Prestige, Profit Gold, Spirit, Thanos, etc.

Other classifications of fungicides for plants

In addition to the described classification, drugs with fungicidal properties also differ in other parameters, for example, in the nature of the action: curative or exterminating; immunizing (elicitors) and prophylactic (protective).

Biological fungicides

Contact fungicides most often have a preventive and partially curative effect. Preparations of biological origin, in addition to prevention and treatment, have a pronounced immunizing effect. Some systemic fungicides, in addition to protective and medicinal properties, also exhibit immunizing properties, that is, they affect the growth and development of plants, changing their metabolism.

Classification according to the nature of origin divides drugs into true fungicides, pseudofungicides and natural antagonists. The first group is toxic to fungi and bacteria outside of plants, in itself. The second type of substances interacts with the plant and outside it is not dangerous for the pathogenic group. Natural antagonists contain disinfected strains of pathogens and help plants improve immunity.

Another criterion that the names of fungicides usually do not reflect, but the instructions explain, is the purpose of using the drug. There are seed disinfectants (for example, Maxim, Vitaros, Credo), means for disinfecting closed soil (Tiovit jet), for treating dormant perennials, as well as for treating all plants during the growth period (vegetation).

Biological fungicides are effective when treating plantings for the purpose of prevention. They protect plants well from late blight, various types of rot, and powdery mildew.

It's worth keeping in mind:

Names of fungicides

Combined products show high efficiency against a large list of diseases, but are often characterized by an increased hazard class. All necessary information, instructions, including the method of disposal of containers and unused solution, are placed on the packaging by the manufacturer. You just need to read it carefully. And lastly, when treating plantings with any type of fungicide, it is imperative to use basic protective equipment and follow safety precautions.

In the fight against numerous pathogens in dacha gardens, the main weapon is fungicides - drugs for the prevention and treatment of plant diseases. Microbiological science offers a whole arsenal of effective drugs, among which you can choose the optimal one both for the treatment and for the prevention and prevention of plant diseases. Modern fungicides are safe for people, animals and bees, and their use gives quick and noticeable results. Some drugs have a prolonged period of action and provide long-term plant protection.

Soil free from pathogenic microorganisms, healthy plants at the dacha - a guarantee of a full harvest of vegetables and berries, bright colors of flower beds (to help you!), bent under the weight of the fruits of trees and shrubs. The main thing is to figure out how to prevent and, if necessary, cure diseases, choose an effective fungicidal drug, and correctly calculate its dosage.

TO widespread Many fungal infections affecting almost all types of fruit, garden and ornamental plants in the country are given by the following reasons:

1. The accumulation of pathogens occurs through infected plant debris. This is how root rot, late blight, and fusarium spread. Fungal spores accumulate in the soil where infected tops are left to overwinter and are spread throughout garden beds along with unripe compost.
2. The shortage and high cost of the main source of fertility until recently - manure - led to its replacement by other suppliers of organic matter to the beds. The green mass of tops, mown grass, and fallen leaves brought from the neighboring forest have become the most important organic fertilizers in summer cottages. Along with them, pathogenic microorganisms that cause rot and other infectious plant diseases appear in the soil.
3. Incorrect use of drugs that prevent and treat infections, instead of benefit, can lead to the emergence of fungicide-resistant races of microorganisms. Some pathogens develop resistance (addiction) to fungicides, for example, Fundazol, Fundazim, Benorad. This is why it is so important to strictly follow the dosage instructions for your medications and change them from time to time.

Types of chemical fungicides for the treatment of infectious plant diseases, their names

The principle of action of different groups of fungicides is different. Some of them affect pathogens at the cellular level, others affect enzymes, and others disrupt the respiration processes of harmful fungi. According to the spectrum of action, some fungicides are narrowly targeted, while others destroy a wide range of pathogenic microflora. Moreover, some are better used for the treatment of already existing diseases, while others are better for prevention and prevention.

Modern drugs are divided into groups:

Strobilurins

Strobe, Profit Gold, Acrobat MC, Ridomil, Tattu. These drugs are best known as effective remedies against diseases of pome fruit crops - apples, pears, and also for preventing contamination of fruits during storage.

Copper preparations

Copper sulfate, Bordeaux mixture, HOM, Oksikhom, Kurzat, Ordan, Abiga Peak. The versatility of copper-containing products allows them to be successfully used in the garden, vegetable garden, and greenhouse for the treatment and prevention of many diseases.

Sulfur preparations

Thiovit jet, Cumulus, garden sulfur. Used not only for processing tree bark and pollination berry bushes. Storage facilities and greenhouses are fumigated with sulfur to eliminate foci of fungal infections on walls and semi-buildings.

Carboxins

Vitaros, Previkur. Due to the properties of these fungicides, they are used for seed treatment. This procedure serves to prevent disease in adult plants. Previkur has proven itself in the fight against various rots and downy mildew.

Benzimidazoles

Fundazol, Fundazim, Benorad. Preparations of this group are used as seed protectants, they are used to treat fruits before storing them in storage, and they treat berry bushes.

Other

1. Consento, KS - The most effective remedy in the fight against a number of diseases: late blight, peronosporosis, mildew and alternaria.

The drug blocks the development of fungal spores, protects young growing leaves and is not washed off by rain or watering after an hour of treatment.

Easy to use: Pour 20 ml of the drug into water and mix, pour the solution into a sprayer and spray evenly on the plant until the leaves are completely wetted. The only product in Russia, after using which vegetables can be eaten within 24 hours.

2. Topaz- a leader in the fight against such an infection as powdery mildew. A special feature of the product is its narrow focus on this disease. Efficiency increases with the preventive start of using Topaz fungicide to prevent disease and 3 repeated treatments every 2 weeks. Effective on all plants susceptible to powdery mildew.

3. Maksim- a widely known disinfectant among potato growing enthusiasts. Fusarium and other soil-borne rots are destroyed by treating seeds, as well as planting material (tubers, bulbs, rhizomatous shoots) of decorative flowers.

4. Score and its analogue Rayok- these drugs have a wide spectrum and long-lasting effect. Fruit trees they protect against scab, tomatoes against late blight, black currants against powdery mildew. These fungicides, which, during preventive treatment, quickly penetrate into tissues and are not washed off by rain, are convenient to use to prevent diseases. On stone fruit crops (cherry, plum), Skor and Rayok are used to treat coccomycosis and clasterosporiasis.

5. Other systemic fungicides: Teldor, Tilt, Byleton, Revus and many others.

Prevention and treatment of plant diseases using phytopreparations-biofungicides

Herbal medicines stand apart from the fungicides. There is a widespread belief among summer gardeners that drugs that are not chemically synthesized, but are of biological origin, cause less harm to garden soil and crops. Let's try to figure out what products for combating plant diseases are marketed under names with the prefix phyto-. There are many such fungicides: Fitosporin, Albite, Fitolavin, Trichodermin, Glyocladin, Alirin-B.

Oddly enough, mushrooms help reduce the number of harmful fungi in the soil! Scientists call these beneficial representatives of saprophytic fungi of the genus Trichoderma suppressors. This is what is hidden under unfamiliar and obscure scientific terms.
Fungi - saprophytes feed on the remains of organic matter of flora and fauna, and also know how to turn the mycelium of harmful infectious agents into a nutrient medium for themselves. The term "suppressor" in this case means "suppressor". In addition to Trichoderma, this group includes several other varieties of mushrooms. All of them successfully destroy populations of pathogens in the soil.

Saprophytic fungi are propagated in laboratory and industrial conditions. They prepare drugs for the treatment and prevention of diseases in open and closed ground. The most famous are Trichodermin, Glyokladin.

Fungicides of bacterial origin include an equally popular drug - Fitosporin. It includes a live culture consisting of cells and spores of a specific bacterium. A special feature of these microorganisms is their ability to suppress the development of pathogenic microflora and enhance plant immunity. Fitosporin is a fungicide with a wide range of applications. It is used to prevent and cure diseases of potatoes and tobacco, root crops, cabbage, tomatoes, black currants, and flower plants.

Application of fungicides against plant diseases, list

Strawberries

The widespread spread of viral and fungal diseases has greatly reduced the plantations of everyone’s favorite berry in summer cottages. By sharing planting material with neighbors and buying infected seedlings at markets, gardeners have contributed to the fact that it has become almost impossible to purchase healthy garden strawberries. They tried to save the situation with the improvement of planting material by introducing the industrial technology "Frigo" into amateur gardening. Many summer residents are trying to grow a healthy strawberry crop from seeds.

Treating strawberry beds with fungicides helps in the prevention and treatment of diseases such as various bacterial diseases, spotting, rot, and powdery mildew. Diseases must be combated during all periods of the plant growing season.

The first spraying begins as soon as the leaves begin to grow. Repeated treatments are done every 10 days until mass flowering. At the stage of fruit set and before harvesting, the application of drugs is stopped. After harvesting the berries, fungicide treatment must be repeated to prevent the disease next year. Late summer, early autumn, when these diseases are heavily affected, we do at least two treatments. Preparations used in strawberry beds: HOM, Bordeaux mixture, Score, Ridomil.

Fruit trees

The most common disease of the apple tree, which is caused by the proliferation of pathogenic microflora, is scab. The fungus attacks apple trees especially hard during seasons with heavy rainfall. The multiplied pathogen, having overwintered on fallen leaves, is carried by the spring wind and settles on the blossoming buds. Thus, scab spores end up in the ovaries. A diseased tree prematurely sheds damaged leaves and produces a crop of cracked, twisted fruits with corky skin.

A fungicide that has long been used to treat scab on apple and pear trees is Bordeaux mixture. It is diluted for the so-called “blue spraying” in the following proportion: 800 grams of slaked lime and 600 grams of slaked lime are added to 20 liters of water. copper sulfate. The old recipe can be replaced with modern copper-containing drugs from the above list.

Fruit rot (moniliosis) - dangerous disease, causing serious damage to the harvest of the orchard (cherries, sweet cherries and others). The source of spread of spores is last year's mummified fruits that overwintered on trees. Monilia spores often settle in cracks in fruits affected by scab. Copper-containing fungicides are also used to prevent and treat the disease.

Brown leaf spot, stem rot and many other infections affecting apple and pear trees, in addition to copper preparations, can be treated with strobilurins ( Strobe, Profit Gold, Ridomil and many others).

Stone fruit crops suffer from many infectious diseases - moniliosis, coccomycosis, clasterosporiosis. Infection of cherry trees with pathogens is widespread. The infection quickly spreads throughout the area, infecting trees in neighboring areas. To combat diseases that have reached the epidemic stage, many collective gardening forces summer residents to completely get rid of cherry plantings.

The spread of insidious infections on cherries and plums can be prevented by timely treatment with drugs. Score, Rayok, copper-containing fungicides. To get the result and summer season you have to resort to spraying three times.

Berry bushes

Brown and yellowish depressed spots can often be observed on the stems and leaves of black currants. The leaves curl, dry out and fall off. Most likely, the plant is affected by anthracnose. Gooseberries can also suffer from this disease. Spores of another fungus, the intermediate host of which is sedge, causes the disease goblet rust. Its bright hallmark- spore pads on leaves, colored orange.

Vague purple spots on annual raspberry stems, where leaf petioles attach, indicate a disease called purple spot. Copper-containing fungicides can treat most fungal pathologies in berry gardens.

American powdery mildew (spheroteca) very often affects black currants and gooseberries, especially old varieties that are not resistant to this disease. A thick white coating appears on the tops of the shoots. The bushes look like they are sprinkled with flour. The leaves curl and stop growing, the young shoots become bent, and the berries fall off before they ripen. In shade and waterlogged places, fungal spores are especially strong.

Since the mycelium of the spheroteca does not live in the soil, but on the shoots of berry bushes, before treating with fungicides, all affected parts of the plants visible to the eye are cut out and burned. Used for treatment Fundazol, Topaz, herbal remedies.

Protecting tomatoes from late blight and other dangerous infections

How many enthusiasts, burning with the desire to grow delicious, carefully selected varieties of tomatoes in their gardens, abandoned their experiments, despairing of defeating the insidious late blight. Finding conditions ideal for mass reproduction (warmth and high humidity), the fungal spores instantly spread throughout the beds and greenhouses with tomatoes, not bypassing potato plantings. Their settlement does not stop the temperature drop in August - September. At the same time, other tomato infections may begin: brown spot, macrosporiosis.

The first signs of the appearance of late blight on tomatoes are small dark spots on the stems. Gradually their area increases until they turn into spots Brown. The same damage appears on the leaves. At first, late blight does not appear in any way on the fruits; they seem healthy. But the destructive activity of the fungus occurs under the skin of the fruit, and soon depressed brown spots appear on them.

Tomatoes infected with late blight are treated with fungicides containing copper. Add 50 grams of the drug to 10 liters of water. HOM(copper chloride) or Abiga-Pak. Spraying is carried out with a fine spray, trying to wet the back side of the leaves. When infected with late blight, you can observe a whitish coating (the underside of the leaf) formed by the fungus. Best result In treatment, three-fold treatment gives. The first spraying, as a warning against disease, should be done as early as possible - a couple of weeks after planting the seedlings.

Daily inspection and removal of affected parts of plants, briefly increasing the temperature in the greenhouse to 55-60 degrees, reducing watering and maintaining a dry microclimate can help in the fight against late blight. There is a known way to save tomato fruits that are infected with spores, but not yet damaged - immerse them in water heated to 60 degrees for 3 seconds, then dry them and store them in one row.

The most famous and most ruthless enemy of cucumber vines on summer cottage- peronosporosis. Another name for the disease is downy mildew. The first signs - characteristic spots on the leaves - require immediate treatment. Treatment with copper preparations is most effective for the prevention and treatment of disease.

For example, Ordan or its equivalent Kurzat diluted at the rate of 50 grams per bucket of water and sprayed on cucumber vines. The waiting period for these drugs (you cannot harvest) is 5 days. As a result of treating cucumbers with copper-containing preparations, other fungal diseases are also prevented - olive spot, anthracnose. The same treatments are useful for preventing diseases in plantings of other pumpkin plants - zucchini, squash, pumpkin.

An additional obstacle to the development of pathogenic fungi will be the raising of cucumber vines on trellises, which will save them from contact with the soil where spores of infectious agents are located. For prevention, it is worth thinning out the plantings of cucumbers, ventilating the greenhouse or greenhouse more often, and in the future selecting varieties and hybrids that are resistant to downy mildew.

Decorative garden

Protection from pathogens of fungal infections is required not only for vegetable and fruit crops; decorative garden. Luxurious pine and other conifers can be affected by rust, which cannot be dealt with without treatment. Oxychom.

Rhododendrons, like tomatoes, are affected by late blight. To prevent and treat it, you will need to water the soil. Foundationazole, spraying Order and its analogues.

Many flowering perennials suffer from powdery mildew. First of all, these are autumn asters, delphiniums, peonies, cinquefoil, and roses. In addition to pruning and removing affected parts of plants, they will be helped by spraying with fungicidal preparations ( HOM, Score, Topaz).

Attention is paid to protecting tubers and flower bulbs from diseases during winter storage. Before laying, they are thoroughly dried and treated with Maxim.

Treatment of storage facilities and greenhouses

To prevent late blight and downy mildew in the greenhouses where tomatoes and cucumbers were grown next year, they are treated with fungicides. The work is carried out before the onset of cold weather, removing plant debris and digging up the soil. The walls, frames, and glass are wiped with a solution of copper sulfate, and the room is fumigated with sulfur preparations. Consumption - 50 grams of sulfur per 1 cubic meter. m. greenhouses. Don't forget to process garden tools, pots, seedling boxes and other similar equipment.

In a similar way preventative work in cellars and basements before storing crops for the winter. Before treating with copper sulfate and burning sulfur, the storage facilities must be dried.

Safety precautions for use

Knowing that most of the drugs used to combat infectious plant diseases do not pose a serious danger to warm-blooded animals and humans, when carrying out treatments, traditional individual protective measures should be taken - wear closed shoes and clothing, and a mask will not hurt. Most fungicides are safe for bees and other insects, but can destroy beneficial microorganisms and thereby disrupt the biological balance. Some types of drugs transmit to soil and plants bad smell, if diluted incorrectly, can cause damage to leaf tissue (burn).

The selection and use of fungicides should be approached with an awareness of responsibility, so that instead of benefit, you do not cause damage not only to the future harvest, but also to the surrounding environment.

Hi all! What are fungicides? Fungicides are substances that partially suppress or destroy pathogens various plants. There are several classifications of this type of pesticide depending on the action, chemical characteristics, and method of application.

We offer you a list of fungicides, presented in the form of a list of the most popular compositions for plants with names and descriptions for them.

You need to choose fungicides based on the type of plant and the disease that threatens it. Before you begin preparing the working solution, you must carefully re-read the instructions and take care to protect your skin and respiratory tract.

Agate

"Agate" is classified as a biological fungicide for plants. It acts not only as a protector of plants from diseases, but also helps to increase productivity. The composition has a beneficial effect on the development of plant roots and significantly increases seed germination. It is usually used in gardening, but indoor plants can also be treated with this drug as a preventive measure.

The active ingredients of the composition are bacteria and bioactive beings of microbial and plant origin. The release form is a paste of flowing consistency, packaged in 10 g jars. For processing, 1 spoon of the product is dissolved in three liters. Plants should be sprayed every 20 days approximately 3-4 times a season.

Abigp Peak

“Abiga-Pik” is a contact type of fungicide containing copper oxychloride. The latter, interacting with pathogenic spores, has the property of releasing active copper, which inhibits their growth and respiration, thereby suppressing the predominant amount of proteins important for life in pathogen spores.

It effectively fights bacterial and fungal diseases on industrial, ornamental, vegetable, flower and fruit crops. Medicinal plants, grapevines and forest plantations can also be treated with this drug.

To determine the acidity level of the mixture, an iron nail is dipped into it for 3-4 minutes. If after this time a red coating of copper appears on the rod, the proportions were not met correctly.

Plant crops must be processed when there is no wind or at low wind speed. It is imperative to use a respirator or at least a gauze bandage. Rubber gloves, safety glasses and thick clothing are mandatory attributes when working with Abiga.

Alirin

"Alirin" is a biological drug that suppresses fungal diseases garden and indoor plants. It has a detrimental effect on powdery mildew, white and gray rot, septoria, and rust fungi.

For a ten-liter bucket of water, you should use 2 tablets of the drug. This solution is used to water diseased plants. If you need to spray, then the concentrate should be more saturated - 2 Alirina tablets per 1 liter of water. It is recommended to carry out no more than three treatments, while maintaining a time interval of 5-7 days.

The drug is not dangerous, both for people and for animals, bees, and fish.

Albite

"Albit" is a contact-type biological fungicide. The substance is low-hazard for the environment. Destroys viruses that cause plant diseases, and can also be used as a stimulator for the development and growth of garden crops. Additionally, it can increase the level of productivity.

• Increases the yield of grains, sugar beets, sunflowers, vegetables, legumes, fruit crops, and forage grasses by approximately 10-35%.
• It has a pronounced growth-stimulating effect, promotes the formation and enhanced growth of a powerful root system, and the formation of additional productive stems.
• It has a protective effect, inhibiting the development of a wide range of pathogens of major diseases of agricultural crops (root rot, leaf rust, powdery mildew, blight, white and gray rot, bacteriosis, etc.) by increasing the natural resistance (immunity) of plants to the disease. The biological effectiveness of the drug against diseases is, according to manufacturers, on average 50-80%.
• Relieves stress exerted on plants by pesticides, temperature changes and drought. This is especially important when using chemical pesticides, since each treatment of plants with pesticides causes stress and temporary inhibition of plants, which negatively affects the yield and its quality.
• Increases germination and relieves growth retardation of seeds treated with disinfectants, relieves growth inhibition due to an overdose of herbicides.
• Increases the efficiency of use of mineral nutrition elements by plants due to the proliferation of nitrogen fixers and other beneficial bacteria in the soil, reduces the consumption of mineral fertilizers.
• Reduces the number of phytopathogenic fungi in the soil, reduces soil toxicity, and increases soil fertility by stimulating the activity of beneficial microorganisms.

We are waiting for you for shopping at the NGO "Gardens of Russia".

Gardeners and gardeners are trying to grow crops without chemical additives. But sometimes it is difficult to cope with various plant diseases. We have to resort to the help of fungicides so that the crop does not die on the vine.

Gardening stores offer a large selection of fungicides for various purposes. But it's difficult to understand them. There are many components that affect the plant and the human body to one degree or another.

Article outline

Types of fungicides

The name of the group of chemicals comes from the Latin “fungus” - mushroom. The drugs are aimed at combating fungal plant diseases. Special means are divided into several groups, different in composition and modes of action.

All fungicidal agents are divided according to their composition into 2 groups:

Chemical

Chemical (inorganic) preparations contain compounds that are dangerous and safe for humans and animals. Sulfur and iron, mercury and nickel, copper and manganese can be contained in various proportions in the form of salts and complex chemical compounds.

These drugs have a quick and lasting effect on fungal colonies. But if handled carelessly, they can also affect human health.

Biological

Biological (organic) are among the least dangerous drugs. Their composition includes various microorganisms that, under the influence external factors inhibit the growth of fungus and protect cultivated plants from negative activities. Distinctive feature biological products are the absence of heavy metals in the composition and a short period of action.

Contact and system

Based on their mode of action, agents are divided into contact and systemic.

Experts consider contact-acting drugs less dangerous for humans and wildlife.. The use of these substances is limited to surface action. The drug does not penetrate inside the plant and acts only on the surface when the pathogenic flora comes into contact with the plant.

With a systemic method of protection, the active components of the fungicide penetrate into the plant into the leaves, stems (trunks) and fruits. Over time, the process of metabolism occurs and substances are decomposed and eliminated. Systemic drugs are not dangerous from precipitation or watering. The active components are absorbed during spraying in a short time and protect the plant from the inside.

The disadvantage of these agents is the resistance of the fungus. By developing immunity against a certain group of fungicides, it cannot be treated. Therefore, it is not recommended to frequently use drugs with the same ingredients.

What is it used for?

Basically, fungicides are preventive agents to combat fungal microflora. They are used for:

• pre-planting seed treatment;
• treatment of contaminated soil areas;
• preventive treatment of shrubs and trees at rest;
• plant protection during the growing season;
• protection against fungus and mold in buildings and vegetable stores.

Methods of using fungicides

Fungicides are available in various forms depending on the method of use.

1. From dry powders and granules you can prepare working solutions for spraying, watering and soaking seeds. The drugs are diluted with water in accordance with the instructions for use, which accompanies each package.
2. An equally popular method is to introduce powders and mixtures into the bud during plowing and planting.
3. Liquid preparations are sold in ampoules or bottles and are intended for preparing liquids for spraying plants and preparing complex mixtures for treating seeds.

There are also preparations in the form of emulsions. They are distinguished by an increased concentration of active substances.

Characteristics and features of chemicals

Chemicals can be especially dangerous for people with certain kidney diseases, metabolic diseases, and allergies to components. But if you follow the dosage, frequency of treatments and use of personal protective equipment, it is not difficult to avoid problems.

Among the chemicals used to combat mold and fungal diseases of plants, there are also practically harmless ones.

Potassium permangantsovka

The familiar potassium permanganate or potassium permanganate has been used for seed treatment for many years. Onion heads are treated with a weak solution before planting, tulip and gladioli bulbs are pickled, and seeds are soaked for germination.

The drug is absolutely harmless to humans and animals, but effectively protects plants from fungal spores. In addition, the content of potassium and manganese in the preparation can eliminate the deficiency of these elements. The action of the drug is systemic.

For use, 0.1 g of potassium permanganate per 100 ml of water is considered the norm. When using, you must wear rubber gloves. The drug may dry out the skin. A high concentration can cause a chemical burn. When used frequently as a fungicide or fertilizer, potassium permanganate negatively affects plant growth due to the accumulation of large amounts of potassium in the soil.

Soda ash

Soda ash (anhydrous sodium carbonate) is often used in households to treat and disinfect common areas and pipelines. The effectiveness of this remedy against fungus has been proven by many years of experience.

In gardening, a solution of soda and laundry soap, which helps to fix the drug on the leaves. Soda is especially effective against gray rot and powdery mildew. Additionally, cultivated plants are treated with sodium carbonate to prevent insect pests. They also save the soil from acidification. A highly concentrated solution can save you from weeds.

The drug is unique and almost harmless unless used in large doses. Experts classify it as a systemic means for protecting the garden.

Copper sulfate

Copper sulfate is a universal preparation for treatment against fungus, fertilizers and protection against insect pests. The drug is classified as systemic. It can accumulate in plants and soil. But if the dosages are observed when working with it, vitriol does not affect the health of humans and warm-blooded representatives of the animal world.

They use, the concentration of which depends on the purposes of processing and the specific crop. The drug most often used in early spring or in the fall after harvest.

Bordeaux mixture

Bordeaux mixture has been known to gardeners since the last century. It is prepared using copper sulfate and milk of lime. The drug is low toxic and effective against most fungal diseases of garden crops.

The liquid is mainly used for whitewashing and spraying trees. A distinctive feature of the drug is the “blue glow” for several days after spraying.

Other popular chemical fungicides

Enterprises involved in the production of chemicals for crop production are constantly developing and improving various products. Popular chemical fungicides include:

• Zineb, Mancozeb, Polycarbocin are contact preparations for the prevention of fungus on plants. Their validity period is no more than two weeks or until the first rain, which washes off the substance. The number of treatments per season can reach 5-6. It is recommended to use preparations for greenhouses and greenhouses.
• Systemic fungicides have a variety of compositions. Antrakol, Trifmin, Rubican belong to different groups chemical systemic fungicides. This diversity is caused by the ability of the fungus to get used to and not react to components of products from the same group.
• Complex fungicides combine the properties of systemic and contact preparations. This is the most profitable option for processing cultivated plants against fungus. Some of them help additionally combat harmful insects

Choosing chemicals To protect your plantings, you must remember about their danger to health and the environment.

Characteristics and features of biofungicides

In nature, even fungi have enemies. This feature is used in biological products. Living microorganisms are able to integrate into fungal cells and inhibit their growth, gradually destroying colonies and protecting plants.

Most microorganisms are absolutely safe for humans and surrounding animals and beneficial insects. Unlike chemical fungicides, the products can be used throughout the season. Practitioners recommend alternating between different drugs.

Disadvantage biological agents protection is preventive in nature and valid for a period of time. If the plant or soil on the site is already infected with a fungus, then biological products will not help.

The most popular biologically active fungicides are:

1. Available in powder, liquid and even paste form. It is effective against mold, scab, and root rot. Compatible with many pesticides.
2. protects against soft rot and necrosis of the stem core.
3. contains a whole complex of biologically active soil metabolites. It is recommended to use against most fungal diseases in the garden.

Despite the very low risk of biological fungicides, instructions for the preparation of working fluids and protective measures should be followed.

Advantages and disadvantages of fungicides

The question of what to choose to protect the crop confronts even experienced gardeners every spring. You have to decide for yourself, choosing what is more important in each individual case.

Biologically active drugs are much safer than chemical ones. But their effectiveness is too low. They are not suitable for treating plants. Whereas chemicals easily cope with any fungus.

Chemical products are more economical. Their price is lower and consumption is minimal. In most cases, no more than two applications per season are required. Biological drugs have a very short duration of action and are ineffective.

Contact-acting preparations may have less impact on human health than systemic fungicides. Although when protecting plants with systemic means, minimal doses are used and multiple treatments are not required.

Before deciding which product to purchase, it is worth weighing the positive and negative sides drugs. In some cases, you can do without them, following the rules of soil cultivation and crop rotation.
