Ferazim is a systemic fungicide, according to the instructions for use, used to protect grains and sugar beets from the main enemies that cause the death of half the crop. The drug is diluted with water to the desired concentration. The solution is used to treat crops during the growing season. A fungicidal agent can be used to treat seeds before sowing.

Features of the drug

Ferazim is a systemic fungicidal agent that is used to protect and treat plants from a number of fungal diseases, primarily powdery mildew. The drug takes effect for 2-4 weeks.

It is recommended to treat plants with this fungicide 1-3 times per season. There should be an interval of 10-30 days between sprayings (depending on the lesion).

Purpose, composition and release form

The fungicidal drug has a protective and therapeutic effect. Ferazim contains carbendazim. This fungicidal drug is produced in the form of a concentrated suspension. Sold in 10 liter plastic canisters.

Suitable for the following crops:

• grains (wheat, barley, rye) - from septoria, powdery mildew, fusarium, rot, leaf rust, cercosporellosis, gray mold;
• sugar beets - against cercospora blight, powdery mildew;
• apple trees - from scab, powdery mildew;
• potatoes - from rhizoctonia, fusarium rot;
• sunflower - from Phomopsis.

It is recommended to dilute the drug with water before use. The dosage for each plant is indicated in the instructions. The working solution is sprayed on crops during the growing season for the purpose of prevention or when a fungal infection appears. A fungicidal agent can be used to treat seeds.

How does the product work?

The active substance, carbendazim, belongs to the class of benzimidazoles. Getting inside through foliage or roots, the drug inhibits mitosis in fungal cells. The active substance does not affect DNA synthesis. The drug begins to exhibit fungicidal properties 4-6 hours after irrigating the plants. The active substance slows down the process of pathogen cell division, prevents the development of fungus, and blocks sporulation.

Advantages and disadvantages of a fungicide

Pros:

• simultaneously has protective and therapeutic properties;
• protects all parts of the plant, even emerging new leaves;
• not washed away by precipitation;
• begins to act 4-6 hours after irrigation;
• can be used at low temperatures.

Flaws:

• persists in soil for a long time (half-life - 6 months);
• with prolonged use, resistant forms of fungi arise.

Consumption rates for different plants

Dosage for different crops:

1. For grains: per ten liters of liquid, 10-20 milliliters of concentrate.
2. For sugar beets: 20-25 milliliters of suspension per ten liters of water.
3. For indoor flowers: per liter of liquid 0.3-0.5 milliliters of concentrate.

Specifics of preparing the working solution

The fungicidal solution is prepared immediately before treating the plants. The dissolved substance is not stored for a long time, as it quickly loses its beneficial properties. Plastic containers are used to prepare the solution.

The suspension is first diluted with a small amount of water, and then the entire volume of liquid is added. The mixture is stirred for 10 minutes before use.

It is also recommended to stir the solution during use so that it is homogeneous.

Wheat, barley and rye

The fungicidal agent protects grains from various rots, powdery mildew, snow mold, smut, and prevents lodging. Spraying is carried out for the purpose of prevention or when a fungal infection appears. Grains are processed in early spring, winter crops in autumn.

For ten liters of liquid, take 10-20 milliliters of concentrate. In one season, 1-2 treatments are carried out with an interval of 10-15 days.To treat seeds, prepare a solution of ten liters of liquid and 1 liter of concentrate. This mixture is enough to process 1 ton of grain.

Sugar beet

A fungicidal agent is used to protect beets from powdery mildew and cercospora. To prepare a working fungicidal solution, take 20-25 milliliters of concentrate per ten liters of liquid. To treat fungus, you need 1-3 treatments with an interval of 10-15 days after each.

Indoor flowers

Indoor plants can be treated with a fungicidal solution to protect them from root rot and powdery mildew. To spray flowers, make a mixture of low concentration. For one liter of water you need to take only 0.3-0.5 milliliters of suspension (measure the substance using a syringe). To protect indoor crops, one treatment is enough. In case of severe damage, spraying can be repeated after 10 days.

How to use the prepared solution

Freshly prepared fungicidal solution is sprayed on plants for protection or when a pathogen appears. It is recommended to carry out treatment 1-3 times per season. Treatment is carried out systemically, every 2-3 weeks. Seed dressing is carried out immediately after harvesting or a couple of days before sowing. The last spraying is carried out 30 days before harvest.

Safety precautions for use

Ferazim belongs to hazard class 2 (for humans). You need to work with it with caution. When preparing a fungicidal solution, you must use a respirator, rubber gloves, and wear a protective suit. After work, you need to wash your hands and face with warm water and soap, and rinse your mouth with a soda solution.

Degree of toxicity

The drug is not phytocidal. It is relatively safe for entomophages. In small doses it does not inhibit earthworms.Safe for birds, fish, bees.

Slightly toxic to humans and animals.
