Composition, formulation and manufacturer
"Glyokladin" is a microbiological agent used against bacterial plant diseases and fungi. Designed for processing vegetable and fruit crops, flowers grown outdoors and indoors.
"Gliocladin" is produced by the Russian company "Agrobiotekhnologiya" CJSC, produced in tablets, 100 and 50 pcs. in packaging (sometimes produced in the form of a concentrated suspension). Its active ingredient is the fungus Trichoderma harzianum VIZR-18; it also contains beneficial soil microflora. The product belongs to bacterial fungicides and biopesticides.
It has a fast, continuous action; the waiting period varies depending on the weather and air temperature - from 3 to 7 days.
Operating principle
Fungi from the drug reproduce by spores and quickly form a developed mycelium. It develops well in soil rich in organic matter, moist (60-80%), at a temperature of 14-27 ˚С. Trichoderma harzianum entwines colonies of pathogenic fungi and bacteria with mycelium and stops their development. Or it gets into the sclerotia of pathogenic fungi, dissolving them from the inside. Trichoderma does not form a symbiosis with the root system of crops; its life and development continues as long as there are readily available carbohydrates in the soil.
What diseases is it used against?
"Glyokladin" is applied to the ground, it prevents the proliferation of fungi on garden and indoor plants. Used for both prevention and treatment. The manufacturer notes that the product cleanses the soil of toxic substances introduced into it with agrochemicals. The active substance does not accumulate in plant tissues, so Glyokladin can be used when growing pure agricultural products. Allowed to be used near ponds and apiaries.The drug can be used repeatedly; it is not addictive to pathogens.
How to properly dilute the solution
"Glyokladin" is intended for preparing the substrate before planting seedlings or before transplanting plants, as well as before sowing seeds. It is not used for spraying during the growing season. The mushrooms in the product are active exclusively in the upper layers of the earth - no deeper than a layer of 8 cm, humidity should be 60-80%, temperature - 20-25 ° C, slightly alkaline acidity. In acidic soils, fungal growth is significantly reduced.
Glyocladin tablets cannot be dissolved in water. They are used in dry form, simply added to the soil, where beneficial mushrooms are activated.
Instructions for use
The drug is used to treat soil for garden and vegetable plants, as well as for indoor flowers. Usually used once, at the time of planting or transplanting plants.
For open ground plants
1 tablet of the product is embedded into the substrate intended for sowing vegetable seeds to a depth of no higher than 1 cm. The purpose of applying the antibiotic is to prevent root rot. 1 tablet is used for soil with a volume of 0.3 liters, that is, approximately 3-4 pieces. per plant. Place them closer to the roots.
For indoor plants
For flowers, place 3 tablets on a pot whose diameter is 15-17 cm. They are left in the top layer of soil, near the root system of the plant. A pot with a larger diameter (20 cm) requires more tablets - at least 4 pieces.It is necessary to distribute them evenly, at some distance from each other in the area of the roots of the flower. If the plant is sick with root rot, wilt or blackleg, you need to put 1 tablet in the soil.
For seedlings, use 1 tablet per specimen. Apply into the soil when picking or when transplanting into a hole. Application prevents the development of root rot, pythium blight, fusarium blight, late blight, verticillium blight, and rhizoctonia blight.
Safety precautions when using fungicide
“Glyokladin” is a non-toxic drug, belongs to hazard class 4. It is harmless to soil, plants, animals, insects, and is approved for use near stakes and water sources. You can work with it without protective clothing and a respirator. Put gloves on your hands.
During use, do not drink, eat, or smoke. After work, wash your hands and face with warm water and soap. There are practically no cases of poisoning with the drug. If the tablet does get inside or onto mucous membranes, you should rinse your stomach with water.
Compatibility with other substances
The biological product "Glyokladin" is not compatible with aggressive agrochemicals. They suppress beneficial microflora, thereby neutralizing the drug. Do not dissolve in water or mix in tank mixtures.
The product is compatible only with drugs that also contain trichoderma fungi. It is allowed to use biofungicides like Planriz, which do not interfere with Glyokladin’s work. After treatment with the fungicides “Alirin-B” and “Gamair”, with which it is recommended to use “Glyokladin”, you need to wait for at least 3-5 days, or even 1-2 weeks, as some experts recommend.
Conditions and periods of storage of the drug
Like all biological products, Glyokladin is stored in a dry, dark room.The product is well stored at a temperature of +5-15 ˚С. tablets should not be frozen. There should be no medicines, food, grain or other animal feed near the tablets. The storage location must be isolated from children and pets.
Analogues of the product
“Glyokladin” is considered an analogue of “Trichodermin”, therefore, it can be replaced with this widely known remedy. Some other analogues are “Trichofit”, “Fitosporin”, “Riverm”, Azotofit”, “Gaulsin”, “Fitodoctor”. These drugs are also based on beneficial mushrooms that block the activity of pathogenic ones.
The biological product "Gliokladin" is recommended for the treatment of fungal diseases in plants grown in open ground and indoors, and for their prevention. It actively suppresses the development of fungi that cause diseases that affect many crops. Restores beneficial microflora in the soil and on the cultivated plants themselves. Not phytotoxic and not addictive to pathogens. “Glyokladin” does not accumulate in soil and plant tissues and is approved for use in growing environmentally friendly agricultural products. Reduces the content of toxic substances in the soil left after treatment with agrochemicals.
