The effectiveness of agrochemical preparations is due to the presence of certain chemicals in their composition. These components are called active, and the type of effect depends on them. For example, pesticides are used to control weeds, protect seeds from spoilage, and protect plants from diseases. A detailed story about the properties of difenocanozol will introduce summer residents to the capabilities of this substance.
Physicochemical characteristics
The substance belongs to the chemical class of triazoles and is a fungicide.These are white crystals that can dissolve in most organic solvents (alcohols, ethers); they dissolve in water at a ratio of 5 grams per liter. Difenocanozol - [cis trans-3 chloro 4[4methyl-2-(1H-1,2,4 triazol-1-yl-methyl)-1,3 dixolan-2-yl]phenyl-4-chlorophenyl ether] is a mixture of isomers from the chemical group of conazoles and triazoles.
It is a pesticide, used to treat seeds, and can rid sprouts of infections. It is used for processing vegetable crops, fruit trees, various types of grains. It is supplied to the market in the form of an emulsion concentrate.
Mechanism of action
Preparations containing difenocanozol have a systemic effect and are used for preventive and therapeutic purposes against fungal infections (powdery mildew, scab). They protect plants from root rot, smut rot, and protect seed material from mold.
When sprayed, the substance easily penetrates into the leaf plate, has a mild effect, and has the ability to improve the growth and development of plants. Affects a large number of phytopathogens. Slows down the growth and development of mycelium in infected plantings, providing a therapeutic effect, relieving the treated plant of fungal infection.
Application area
Preparations based on difenocanozol are used for spraying:
- cabbage, carrots, asparagus, potatoes, other types of vegetables;
- wheat, rye, oats, corn, rapeseed, various grains;
- forage grasses;
- fruit trees (apple trees, pears), including stone fruits.
Pre-sowing seed treatment protects them from mold, and emerging sprouts protect them from scab, spotting, rot, Alternaria blight, and powdery mildew.
Products containing difenocanozole
The substance is part of single-component and multicomponent systemic pesticides. It contains fungicides: “Skor” EC, “Raek” EC, “Dinali” DK.
Seed protectants with difenocanozol: “Oplot” VSK, “Maxim Plus” KS, “Dividend Extreme” KS. This is not a complete list of agrochemicals; all of them are popular due to their high efficiency and wide range of applications.
Instructions for use
Seeds are treated with a disinfectant in special machines before storing or immediately before sowing. The seed material must be completely coated with the pesticide. Seed protection lasts throughout the year.
When using difenocanozol-based fungicides, treatment is carried out with a freshly prepared working solution of the preparations.
Important: application at temperatures below +12 °C reduces the effectiveness of pesticides. Spray plants in dry weather, in the absence of wind. Calculation of consumption depends on the chosen drug and is regulated by the manufacturer’s instructions.
Safety precautions
Work on treating seeds and preparing a solution for treating plants is carried out on specially equipped sites. They are located away from residential buildings and premises for farm animals.
All work with pesticides is carried out in special facilities. suits, employees are provided with respirators and protective gloves. Smoking and eating are prohibited while working with pesticides.Upon completion of work, you should change clothes and take a shower. Pesticides are not used near bodies of water. When processing, the degree of toxicity of the drug is taken into account (hazard class for humans and bees, specified by the manufacturer); class 2 of the drug obliges beekeepers to be notified of the upcoming treatment and the emergence of insects to be adjusted.
If you accidentally ingest a pesticide, you should go to the hospital immediately.
Substances are stored in a warehouse for agrochemicals. They must be labeled with the name and purpose of the pesticide. They are kept in original, tightly closed packaging. Do not use after expiration date.
