Instructions for use of fungicide Rex Duo and application rates

The fungicidal drug "Rex Duo" is a two-component product designed to combat fungal diseases of varying degrees of severity, which often affect cereal crops and sugar beets. The product is recommended for use for the prevention and treatment of diseases such as powdery mildew, septoria, pyrenophorosis and others caused by pathogenic fungi.

Composition, purpose and release form of the fungicide "Rex"

The product consists of 2 active ingredients: epoxiconazole (18.7%) and methyl thiophanate (31%). The first of a series of triazoles, systemic pesticides that block the structure of the cell membrane of a pathogenic fungus, prevent cell formation and provoke the death of the parasitic organism. Even in wet and cold weather, the component retains its capabilities.

The second, thiophanate-methyl, belongs to the class of benzimidazoles, systemic contact pesticides, which are characterized by a wider spectrum of action. A protective pesticide stops the process of fungal cell division, preventing reproduction and development, suppressing all basic life processes.

"Rex Duo" is of greatest value for winter wheat. After treatment, complete destruction of powdery mildew, rust, and septoria is observed.

The fungicide is available in liter or 10 liter plastic canisters and is a suspension concentrate.

Varieties

As a result of long experiments, the developers offered farmers a new product with enhanced action - “Rex Plus”. The concentration of active components in its composition is greater compared to Rex Duo. The new fungicide consists of epoxiconazole at a concentration of 84%, the rest of the volume is occupied by fenpropimorph. The components quickly penetrate the tissues of the pathogen and destroy it.

Mechanism of action of drugs

The action of the fungicide "Rex Duo" is aimed at the complete destruction of all fungal pathogens. Cell division and reproduction are suspended, the vital activity of the fungus is significantly deteriorated due to the slowdown of all important metabolic processes.

Thanks to this mechanism of action, the drug is effective, the risk of resistance is reduced due to the wide spectrum of action of the drug.

Advantages and disadvantages of the product

The fungicide "Rex Duo" is very popular because it has proven itself well among farmers and has a number of advantages:

• rapid penetration of pathogens into tissues and onset of action in the first seconds;
• high level of plant protection from recurrent disease;
• tolerance to low temperatures and high humidity levels;
• the possibility of use in combination with other products, most optimally with vitamin-mineral mixtures;
• has a positive effect on the life cycle of plants, increasing the number of ovaries and accelerating ripening;
• complete safety for reservoirs and water bodies;
• convenient packaging.

In addition to a large number of advantages, the disadvantages of the drug should also be highlighted. Many people are confused by the high price. Not everyone can afford to purchase such an expensive fungicide. The drug is also toxic to humans, so when processing crops, use protective clothing and do not spend much time on the treated area for 3 days.

Preparation of working solution

Start preparing the working solution immediately before use. Fill the sprayer 2/3 with water and slowly introduce the required amount of the drug depending on the crop being treated.

Instructions for use

For cereal crops, one treatment per season is sufficient for the purpose of prevention. But if the need arises, carry out the procedure again at intervals of 2 weeks, taking into account the degree of damage and the phase of plant development.

Fungicide consumption rate

The application rate of the drug depends on the species of the crop.The type of pathogen itself does not matter, so it should not be taken into account.

The processing of cereals requires 300 ml of substance per 1 ha. When processing rapeseed, the amount increases by 2 times.

Safety precautions when working with the product

The fungicide does not harm bees and water bodies, but humans should follow safety rules. It is important to protect the respiratory tract, mucous membranes and skin from the influence of the chemical. Otherwise, you should use an adsorbent and thoroughly wash the affected area.

Is it compatible with other drugs?

The fungicide is combined with vitamin and mineral complexes. Before mixing with other products, ensure compatibility by reading the instructions.

Fungicide storage

The shelf life of the drug is 3 years in dry, dark places away from medicines, food, children and animals.
