Instructions for use of fungicide Speed, dosage and spectrum of action

Plant diseases cause no less harm to agriculture than pests. They can destroy the standing crop or damage it during storage, rendering seed reserves unusable. Common fungal infections are especially dangerous in this regard. To protect against them, special drugs are used. Before spraying the product, you must carefully study the instructions for using the contact and systemic fungicide “Skor”.

Release form, active substance and manufacturer

The drug is marketed in the form of an emulsion concentrate and is classified as a triazole. This is a systemic and contact fungicide, that is, it begins to act when it comes into contact with the vegetative mass of plants or seeds, and then penetrates with juices into all organs, destroying pathogens. Skora contains difenoconazole in an amount of 250 grams per liter.

The fungicide is produced by Syngenta AG, a Swiss company leading the production of products for plant and seed materials, with a large number of subsidiaries around the world.

Purpose and principle of operation

Fungicide "Skor" is a preventive and therapeutic agent for plants against fungal diseases. Suitable for producing combined pesticides to combat infections and pests.

When spraying the composition onto the affected areas, the effect occurs 2-3 hours after treatment. It retains its qualities on the plant for one to three weeks. During precipitation, “Skor” can be washed off from the surface of the green mass, which will lead to a decrease in the concentration of the active substance and a decrease in protective forces.

The penetration of the fungicide into the plant leads to the suppression of cell division of the pathogen, destroying it. Using "Skora" according to the instructions and fertilizing with fertilizers can save even a severely damaged plant.

Advantages and disadvantages

The highly active pesticide "Skor" can be used in a wide temperature range, but it has proven itself best at +14...+25 ^OC. At lower temperatures it works much worse, especially when it drops below 12 ^OC. To obtain maximum results, it is necessary to start spraying in the first stages of the plant growing season. If the product is heavily contaminated with fungal spores, the product may be ineffective.

The "Skor" fungicide has more positive aspects than disadvantages.

Instructions for use of the drug, how to dilute "Skor", dosage

Do not use hot or cold water to obtain the mixture. It should have a temperature of about 25 degrees. The consumption of the working solution is up to 1 liter per unit.

"Skor" is suitable for house plants. For these purposes, it is worth purchasing in small packaging, 2 milliliters. The consumption of the finished composition is 0.1-0.5 milliliters per 1 milliliter. The concentration is related to the type of disease.

Fruit trees

Fungicide "Skor" is used in gardening in the spring for spraying fruit trees such as apple trees, pears, peaches, and other stone fruit and pome crops. It acts on the pathogens of scab, leaf curl, powdery mildew, Alternaria blight, Clusterosporia blight, and coccomycosis.

Spraying is carried out during the growing season, before and after the buds open, the break is no more than 2 weeks. The mixture consumption is 2-5 liters per tree, depending on its age, size and degree of fungal damage. Dilute 2 ml of EC in 10 liters of water. Process twice, in exceptional cases 3-4 times. You need to wait 3 weeks before harvesting.

Grape

For this plant, the fungicide "Skor" is the best way to protect against fungal infections such as oidium, phomopsis, rubella, and black rot. Dilute 5 milliliters of the substance in a standard volume of water, the dosage can be doubled. They are treated first during flowering, then before the grapes form into clusters, then two more times with an interval of at least 10 days. The last spraying should take place three weeks before the grape harvest. More details here.

Berry bushes

Currants and gooseberries are sprayed for the first time during the formation of buds, and again immediately after the plants flower. The last treatment is carried out 70 days before picking the berries.Composition: 4 milliliters per 10 liters, consumption: 1-1.5 liters of working solution per bush.

Vegetables

The product helps to cope with late blight, alternaria, cercospora on potatoes, carrots, beets, tomatoes and other vegetable crops. A solution of 2-5 milliliters of the drug per 10 liters of water is used, treatment 2-4 times with a two-week interval. You need to stop spraying at least 20 days before harvesting vegetables.

Roses

The “Queen of the Garden” is threatened by fungal infections such as black spot and powdery mildew. Spraying with “Skorom” in the form of a solution of 2-5 milliliters of emulsion concentrate per 10 liters of liquid with 2-4 repetitions during the growing season works against them. The interval between treatments is 14 days.

Flowers

Numerous fungal diseases can settle on plants, which can lead to the death of the entire garden. “Skor” on flowers acts on gray rot and powdery mildew. Dilute 2-4 milliliters per 10 liters of water, treat when the first signs of the disease appear with an interval of 14 days, and are allowed to repeat twice.

Seed treatment

Treating seed material not only kills dormant fungal pathogens, but also promotes more friendly seed germination during sowing. To do this, pre-sowing treatment is carried out with a standard “Skora” solution.

For storage, seeds are processed after collection and drying, before storing for sowing. This saves them from death and can save up to 30% of the material.
