The composition is used to protect seedlings from the appearance and development of rust, rhynchosporiasis and powdery mildew.

Thanks to this, the treated seedlings become stronger and are much less likely to get sick.

How to prepare a working fungicide solution

Before using Titan, you need to familiarize yourself with the preparation of the working solution. However, you should not prepare too concentrated a mixture, so as not to harm the seedlings. Add 15-20 milliliters of the drug to a liter of cold water. Then the liquid is thoroughly mixed, left for an hour and a half and used to spray the plants being grown.
