How to use correctly
"Kazumin" is a preparation for spraying plants during the growing season. The product is used if the first signs of damage are visible on the crops. Before use, the drug is diluted with water according to the instructions. For mild damage, one treatment of the plants is sufficient. If signs of the disease do not disappear within 7 days, spraying can be repeated. The interval between treatments is 10-14 days. You can use this drug three times in one season.
Plants are treated in dry and windless weather. Recommended air temperature is 5-25 degrees Celsius. Spraying with a fungicidal agent in the rain will not give any result. "Kazumin" can be used for processing seed material.It is recommended to place the roots of seedlings before planting for several minutes in a weak solution (0.6% or 1%) of this fungicidal agent.
Consumption rates
Table of consumption of "Kazumina" for a small subsidiary farm:
| Name of culture | Disease | Dose of the drug per 1 liter of water | Number of treatments (interval) |
| Tomatoes, peppers, potatoes | Bacterial cancer, spotting, rot, powdery mildew | 1-2 ml | 3 (14) |
| Cabbage | Bacteriosis, powdery mildew | 1-2 ml | 3 (14) |
| Fruit trees (apple trees, apricots, cherries, pears) | Bacterial burn, spotting | 3-5 ml | 3-4 (10) |
| Rice | Blast | 2 ml | 3 (14) |
To spray one hundred square meters you need, on average, a bucket of solution, that is, 10-50 ml of the drug and 10 liters of water. During the season, a summer resident will need no more than a glass of this fungicidal agent. For industrial use (in tank mixtures), the consumption rate of Kazumin is 1-1.5 liters per 200-400 liters of water per hectare of area. This solution is suitable for processing rice, tomatoes, cabbage and peppers. To spray apple, cherry and pear trees, use 2.5-3 liters of fungicide per 600-800 liters of water per hectare of area.
Precautionary measures
"Kazumin" is completely non-toxic, but when working with it you must adhere to some rules. It is recommended to process plants wearing protective clothing, a mask, goggles, and rubber gloves. It is advisable to prepare the working solution immediately before use.
Its remains must not be stored for a long time. Unused liquid should be poured out of the garden area.
The spray solution is prepared according to the standards specified in the instructions. It is not the soil that is cultivated, but the plant itself (from top to bottom). When processing, use a sprayer with a fine spray. It is forbidden to dilute this product in food containers.After handling the product, wash your hands well. It is advisable to store the fungicide separately from food products, out of the reach of children.
Analogs
In addition to Kazumin, you can buy biological products with exactly the same composition (with Streptomyces bacteria) to treat plants against fungal and bacterial infections. For example, “Cidox Pro”, “Fitolavin”, “Kasugomycin”. There are other biological fungicides on sale (Fitosporin, Gamair, Trichodermin, Baktofit, Agat, Planzir) based on bacteria and fungi.
Biological products, unlike chemicals, do not accumulate in the soil and plant tissues and do not harm humans. True, they need to be applied no more than 3 times per season, and the last treatment is carried out 30 days before harvest.
