Composition and principle of action
This fungicidal preparation is sold in the form of a suspension concentrate. However, it includes polymers that help enhance the penetrating properties of the active ingredients.The composition contains 2 active components:
- Epoxiconazole belongs to the triazole category. It has medicinal properties and can be used for prevention. The substance is quickly absorbed by the leaves and easily distributed throughout the crop. At the same time, the composition remains active even in cold and high humidity conditions.
- Azoxystrobin is a strobilurin. It is characterized by protective properties and promotes greening. This means that the substance has a beneficial effect on the development of the crop and normalizes the absorption of nitrogen and carbon dioxide. The substance also reduces the need for water. The growing season continues due to the suppression of the aging hormone.

| Rape | 0,5-0,7 | Alternaria blight, different types of rot, phomosis, downy mildew | Treatment is carried out from the moment 1-3 leaves appear until flowering begins. |
The waiting period for cereal plants is 37 days. On soybeans this parameter reaches 56 days. To use the product effectively, it is recommended to adhere to the following rules:
