Description, release form and effect of the drug

"Delan" refers to contact fungicides used as a prophylactic agent. The main active ingredient of the drug is dithianone. Available in 5 kg bags. The fungicide is a water-soluble granule. After the procedure, “Delan” remains on the plants in the form of a fairly dense layer, which is resistant to prolonged precipitation. Once sprayed onto plants, the chemical actively destroys fungal spores.

In what cases is it used?

The product is used to combat diseases of fruit crops such as:

• scab;
• downy mildew;
• fruit rot;
• Clusterosporiosis;
• different varieties of leaf spot.

It can be used to treat all fruit and berry crops. The solution can only be used on the day it is prepared. Even if a lot of diluted substance remains, after a while it is no longer suitable for further processing.

Advantages and disadvantages of a fungicide

The advantages of use include:

1. The chemical has a protective effect lasting up to 1 month.
2. Resistant to precipitation.
3. Trees and vines tolerate spraying well.
4. Economical consumption of substances.
5. Fungi do not develop resistance to the drug.
6. It is mildly toxic and harmless to crops, humans and soil.

Peach

To treat peach against scab, leaf curl and clasterosporiasis, dilute 10 g of powder in 10 liters of water. During the season, 3 treatments are carried out with breaks of 14 days. The trees are treated for the first time after the flowering period has ended.

Grape

First, prepare the working fluid. 15 g of granules are diluted in 10 liters of heated water. Preventative spraying is carried out before symptoms of diseases appear. During the growing season, 5 sprayings are carried out. The breaks between procedures are 8-10 days.
