For treating seeds against sooty fungi and septoria, the consumption rate is 2-25 g per 10 kg of processed material.
Instructions for use
The drug is used on grain crops on large farms and on private farms for the treatment of vineyards, orchards and vegetable crops. In each case, the concentration of solutions and their volume will differ.
Cereals
For the treatment of spring and winter wheat, the application rate is 0.4-0.5 liters per hectare, depending on the type of disease. The solution is used to treat seed grains 1-2 weeks before sowing.
