Fungal diseases can affect cultivated and wild plantings, leading to their death, causing farm ruin due to lack of harvest. For a farmer, gardener or forester this is a disaster. They destroy problems with fungicides, such as the drug "Abiga-Pik". It is characterized by minimal toxicity and rapid action. Before spraying, you must read the instructions for the Abiga-Pik product or other similar substance.
Description and features of the drug
Pesticide "Abiga-Peak" is an antifungal suspension that can kill mold when sprayed on the source of the disease. This is a typical copper-containing composition, therefore, when using it, it is necessary to adhere to the same safety precautions as with similar fungicide substances or products based on them.
Composition and principle of action
The basic component of the drug “Abiga-Peak” is a copper derivative that affects the reproductive organs and vegetative elements of fungal and a number of bacterial infections that affect cultivated and wild herbs, flowers, shrubs, trees, vegetables, and berries.
To obtain the effect of the Abiga-Peak product, it is necessary to apply the fungicide solution to all surfaces affected by the infection. Sprayers are used that guarantee a fine spray of the drug with application of the Abiga-Peak composition on all sides of the foliage, branches and buds. Upon contact, the copper component inhibits harmful organisms and prevents their reproduction.
Purpose
Fungicide "Abiga-Pik" is used for neutralization and preventive treatment against the following plant infections:
- Bacteriosis.
- Mildew.
- Oidium.
- Anthracnose.
- Spots of several varieties.
- Powdery mildew.
- Late blight.
- Fusarium.
- Scab.
- Rust.
- Downy mildew.
- Cercospora blight.
- Moniliosis.
- Clusterosporiasis.
- Coccomycosis and so on.
"Abiga-Peak" has a noticeable effect and can be used both in homestead farming and in industrial plantings.
Advantages and disadvantages
“Abiga-Peak” poses a medium level of threat to warm-blooded creatures and is low toxic to pollinating insects, so beekeepers open the hives and release the swarm into the wild after half a day.The drug is an emulsion, so it perfectly envelops the treated plants, acting on both developed fungi and spores. The prepared solution can be stored for several days in a cool, ventilated area.
Compatibility of the fungicide with other products
The drug "Abiga-Peak" is combined with most pesticides approved for use. It is especially convenient to make combined formulations that include not only a fungicide, but also a suitable insecticide. One spray can get rid of parasites and diseases.
If, when preparing a “cocktail,” the solution or flakes become cloudy, gas is released, or a strong unpleasant odor appears, this indicates incompatibility of the components. The mixture cannot be used.
Product effectiveness
If you spray Abiga-Pik at temperatures above 9 OC and a wind speed of no more than 5 meters per second, you can get excellent results. The product does not cause infection adaptation, and plants develop resistance to fungal diseases.
How to prepare the solution
The working solution is prepared immediately before use, in the proportion dictated by the attached instructions. Increasing the concentration is dangerous, and decreasing it is pointless, so when diluting, you must strictly follow the requirements. First, the required amount of the substance is dissolved in a small amount of water, and then the resulting emulsion is diluted in a large container, bringing the total volume of the product to 10 liters.
Processing rules and terms
It is necessary to treat plantings with the Abiga-Pik fungicide by choosing a day when there is no expected precipitation, in dry and windless weather. This is done after the morning dew has dried, but before the sun's rays are too active. The solution is diluted for one use and stored for several days without losing its effectiveness.
Spraying the fungicide "Abiga-Pik" for various crops:
| Plants | Diseases | Fungicide consumption | Spraying |
| Vegetables | Late blight, alternaria blight, cercospora blight, bacteriosis, spotting, downy mildew | 50 grams diluted in 10 liters of water | 5 times with a wait of 20 days |
| Garden trees | Scab, moniliosis, curliness, coccomycosis, clasterosporiasis | 50 grams per 10 liters of water | 4 times, wait 20 days |
| Vineyard | Mildew, oidium, anthracnose | 40 grams/10 liters of water | 5 times during the growing season, waiting time – 20 days |
| Flowers | Rust, spotting | 40-50 grams per 10 liters | Double processing |
| Strawberry | Rot, spotting, fusarium | 40 grams per 10 liters | Twice before flowering |
| Coniferous trees | Rust, spots | 50 grams of the product are dissolved in 10 liters of clean water | 4-5 times during the growing season depending on the severity of the lesion |
If spraying is carried out in a greenhouse or other enclosed space, you need to make sure that animals, birds, and unauthorized persons, especially small children, do not have access to it. Doors and windows should be closed and the room ventilated after a quarter or half a day.
Precautions for use
The drug "Abiga-Peak" is not toxic to plants, but can inhibit their growth, therefore, when treating actively vegetative shrubs and trees, some slowdown in growth must be taken into account.People need to use protective clothing, gloves, glasses, and a respirator, because contact with the skin and mucous membranes can cause an allergic reaction and chemical burns.
While working, you must not eat, drink or smoke. Children and pets should be kept away from areas where fungicides and spray devices are handled and stored. The solution is prepared in containers specially designated for this purpose, which will not be used for other purposes.
To avoid problems, when diluting and using the drug, you must carefully follow the instructions for use and not exceed the recommended concentration. It is allowed to use the emulsion near water bodies, including near fish ponds (within the sanitary zone). Direct spraying into water sources (natural or artificial) is prohibited.
Upon completion of work, you need to change clothes in the utility room, wash your face and wash your hands with detergents, take a shower and put on clean clothes.
For half a day, treated plants remain dangerous to humans and animals. It will be possible to harvest from them no earlier than three weeks after spraying.

- "Horus."
- "Kuproksat".
- "Kurzat".
- "Medex".

Every year, more and more new domestic and imported products with the same or similar composition are produced, so fungicides with other names, but also based on copper, may be on sale.They can be used for the same purposes as the drug "Abiga-Peak", but be sure to follow the accompanying instructions.
Reviews
The Abiga-Pik fungicide has many positive reviews left by satisfied summer residents, farmers, gardeners and rural residents.
Tamara: “It is difficult to grow grapes in a risky farming zone, but with Abiga Peak I forgot about what powdery mildew is. It works very well, although you have to repeat irrigation quite often.”
Marina: “In my flower garden, especially on the luxurious dahlias, fungi settled in the form of a grayish coating, due to which the leaves, shoots and buds dried out and turned black. On the advice of a neighbor, I sprayed the entire front garden with Abiga Peak. It helped very quickly. I had a lot of large, healthy flowers in the fall.”
Sergei Vladimirovich: “My cherry orchard has practically dried out from moniliosis. Treatment with Abiga-Peak throughout the season allowed us to maintain young growth and get an excellent harvest.”
Alexander: “All planted nightshades were severely damaged by late blight. Treating the tomatoes with Fundazol helped for a short time, but the peppers and eggplants remained in the fungus. I sprayed it with Abiga-Pik and liked the result much better. I mixed it with Decis, and managed to avoid being attacked by Colorado potato beetle larvae.”
Forester Volkov: “Rust can destroy an entire plantation of young fir trees, pines and other conifers, so our forestry department constantly treats plantings with fungicides. We used different drugs, but Abiga-Peak showed its best side. The Abiga-Peak emulsion wets twigs and pine needles well, so rust simply has no chance of survival.” Numerous positive responses indicate the effectiveness of the Abiga-Pik fungicide and the ease of its use.
