Thanks to this, many dangerous diseases can be avoided. In order for the use of the product to have an effect, you must strictly follow the instructions.
Composition and release form of the fungicide "Scarlet"
The preparative form of the drug is considered a microemulsion.1 liter of the substance contains 100 grams of imazalil and 60 grams of tebuconazole. The product is sold in 5 liter packs.
The principle of the drug's effect
The disinfectant has a systemic effect. Tebuconazole is a highly active ergosterol inhibitor that is important for pathogenic fungi. Imazalil is characterized by a local-systemic effect and helps protect the root system. Its action is based on suppressing the production of ergosterol and affecting the permeability of cell membranes. Thanks to the optimal content of active components, their effect is significantly enhanced.
In addition, the disinfectant contains bioactivators that have a growth-stimulating effect. They significantly increase germination parameters and enhance the initial development of sprouts of agricultural plants.
Bioactivators significantly enhance the development of roots, increase their volume and length, and increase the number of root hairs. The use of the substance improves plant rooting, increases resistance to frost and drought, and increases yield parameters.
Systemic action helps cope with superficial and internal seminal infections. The composition also eliminates pathogens that infect crops in later periods of the growing season.
The advantages of the product include the following:
- The composition is superior to many seed protectants in terms of scope of application. This is due to the content of 2 active components and the form of release of the drug.
- The product provides a high level of fungicidal activity, including use against powdery mildew, root rot, mold and other pathologies.
- The substance provides prolonged protection, from seed germination to the stage of exit into the tube.
- The composition additionally includes 2 bioactivators. This helps to activate the development of vaginal leaves, strengthen the roots, increase resistance to drought and frost, and increase yield parameters.
- The product contains imazalil. This helps minimize the risk of resistance emerging.
Spectrum of action
The substance helps cope with many pathologies. These include:
- fusarium;
- seed mold;
- septoria;
- powdery mildew;
- smut diseases;
- leaf spotting.
Consumption rate and application
Fungicidal protection of seed material is effective from the moment of germination to the stage of emergence into the tube and formation of the flag leaf. The product enters the structure of the seeds and protects them from infections - internal and external.
In this case, the disinfectant begins to act 2-3 hours after processing the seed material.
The instructions say that the product is recommended for treating seeds of cereal crops. In this case, it is worth using 0.3-0.4 liters of the substance per 1 ton of planting material. Using this product, it is possible to avoid the development of root rot, smut diseases, mold on seeds, and powdery mildew.
To achieve the desired results, it is recommended to follow these rules:
- To prevent toxic effects on seed material, it is worth adhering to application rates.
- Seeds for dressing should be carefully prepared. They need to be selected and cleaned of impurities, dust and plant debris.
- Treat seed material before planting or 2 weeks before sowing.
- Seeds should be treated with special automated devices. It is recommended to carefully adjust the machine so that the working solution effectively wets the seeds.
- When using a seed treatment unit, it is important to monitor the number of seeds in the chamber and control the volume of working fluid.
When stopping the pickling device, it must be taken into account that the working solution should not remain for a long time without stirring.
To make a working solution, it is recommended to thoroughly shake the drug in the canister. First, fill the tank halfway with water, then turn on the mixing mode and gradually add the required dose of the substance. It is recommended to add water while mixing is on. In this case, it is necessary to obtain the full volume of the tank. The solution should be mixed until smooth.
Safety precautions for use
Features of the use of the product make it safe for bees. The composition is also low-hazard for fish. It corresponds to hazard class 3. The product can be used in the sanitary zone of fishery reservoirs. However, treated seeds are prohibited from being used to feed livestock.
