Instructions for use and composition of Credo fungicide, pesticide dosage

“Credo” is one of the fungicides that actively work in the field of saving cultivated plants from corrosive microorganisms. This is not the first year that it has been protecting and treating grains and sugar beets from widespread infections of fungal origin. As a chemical preparation, the fungicide "Credo" has its own characteristics in use and precautions when working with it in the field.

Active ingredients and release form

Fungicide "Credo" from the company "August" is produced in the form of a concentrated suspension and packaged in 5-liter canisters. The active ingredient of the drug is carbendazim (500 g/l).

Spectrum of action

Fungicide "Credo" prevents fungi from colonizing a healthy plant and treats crops already affected by pathogens. Its effectiveness has been proven when used on seed and grains that have entered the growing season.

Principle of operation

The active substance of the Credo fungicide, carbendazim, disrupts the cell division processes of parasitic fungi, preventing the synthesis of vital structures such as membranes, organs of attachment of the pathogen to plant tissues, causing other harm to the microorganism, leading to its rapid death.

Consumption rate and use of “Credo”

To process 1 hectare of crops, 300 liters of working fluid are required. To treat grain to protect and strengthen seedlings, up to 10 l/t of solution is sufficient.

Instructions for preparing the working solution:

1. Approximately one third of the volume is poured into the sprayer.
2. Turn on the mixer and add a dose of the Credo suspension in a stream.
3. Stir for 7-10 minutes.
4. Add water to the recommended concentration of fungicide in the working mixture.
5. Stir for another 5 minutes.
6. Start spraying with the mixer turned on.

In the same way, the working fluid is prepared for treating grain with fungicide “Credo” before sowing. Planting material is prepared for the procedure as follows:

1. They winnow away dust, weed residues, and any dry debris from the grain. If left, it will absorb 30% of the solution. In addition to economic costs, this leads to poor-quality processing, which does not guarantee the complete destruction of pathogens.
2. Remove the awn from oats.
3. Grain with a moisture content of more than 15% is treated no earlier than 2-3 days before sowing.
4. Dry seeds can be processed in advance, 1 or even 3 months before planting in the ground.

Moisten the grain with a medicinal mixture of water and fungicide “Credo”.
