Description and instructions for use of fungicide Uniform

Fruit and vegetable crops often suffer from rot and other dangerous ailments. To protect planted plants from diseases, they must be regularly treated with fungicidal compounds. Effective products include “Uniform”, which is used to treat fruits and vegetables. However, before using it, you need to study the description of the Uniform fungicide.

Composition, release form and purpose of the fungicide "Uniform"

“Uniform” is a systemic fungicidal agent that is most often used to treat potato bushes. Regular spraying of seedlings will protect them from the appearance and further development of rot. In the manufacture of the drug, substances such as mefenoxam and azoxystrobin were used. These components are quite effective and therefore no more than five liters of the drug are consumed per hectare.

The product is produced and sold in liquid form in small bottles of 150-250 milliliters.

How the drug works

Before using Uniform, you need to understand how it works. The effect of the drug begins 5-10 minutes after treatment. The components of the fungicide penetrate inside the plants and protect them from the development of pathogenic microelements. Part of the composition remains on the surface and forms a protective film on it, which prevents the penetration of pathogens.

Main pros and cons

This fungicide, like other products, has a number of advantages and disadvantages that must be understood before using it. The main advantages include the following:

• high efficiency, thanks to which it is possible to reliably protect seedlings;
• suppression of most pathogens;
• inhibiting the development of late blight;
• protection not only of the above-ground parts of plants, but also of their root system;
• increasing the stress resistance of seedlings during drought.

Among the disadvantages of Uniform are its high cost, as well as a high level of toxicity.

Consumption rate for different plants

Each type of plant uses a different amount of fungicide and therefore it is recommended to familiarize yourself with the consumption rates in advance:

1. Tomatoes in open ground.People who grow tomatoes outside should spend about 500 milliliters per hundred acres.
2. Tomatoes in closed ground. If tomato seedlings are grown in a greenhouse, the consumption of working fluid is halved.
3. Cucumbers in the garden. When processing cucumbers in open ground, the same amount of liquid is consumed as when spraying tomatoes.
4. Cucumbers in a greenhouse. In this case, 200-250 milliliters of product are used per hundred acres.
5. Potato. When growing potato bushes on 100 acres, one and a half liters of fungicide are prepared.

How to prepare a working solution

Before you start treating plants, you need to prepare a working solution. It should not be too concentrated and therefore a little fungicide is added to the water. Pour 10-15 milliliters of product into a liter of cold water. Then the liquid is mixed and immediately used to spray the seedlings.

Instructions for use of fungicide

To use Uniform correctly, you need to study the instructions for its use. When growing cucumbers, the product is used once after transplanting young seedlings into open ground. However, if the seedlings begin to suffer from rot, re-treatment is carried out.

Potatoes are sprayed twice per season. The first treatment is carried out when three true leaves are formed on the bushes. Repeated spraying is carried out after two weeks.

Mechanism of action

Every person who is planning to use Uniform must understand its mechanism of action. The components of the drug quickly enter the plants and protect them from pathogens that can penetrate the tissue.

The remaining part of the fungicide, which remains in the ground, also gradually penetrates the plant through the root system.

The degree of toxicity of the drug

"Uniform" has a second toxicity class and therefore must be used very carefully. Experts advise using protective equipment to prevent the substance from getting into the eyes or onto the surface of the skin. When processing seedlings, you must use rubber gloves, safety glasses and a respirator to protect the respiratory system.

Compatibility with other tools

The fungicide can be used together with other products. However, before this you should check whether Uniform is compatible with the selected fungicidal preparation.

Terms and conditions of storage of the product

The purchased product has a long shelf life, since it will deteriorate only after three years. However, the working solution is stored several times less. It must be used on the day of preparation, since it can be stored at room temperature for no more than forty-eight hours.

Are there any analogues

People who do not want to use Uniform can use similar tools instead:

1. "Tiovit Jet". This drug is sold in powder form, which must be mixed with water before use.
2. "Topaz". A universal fungicide that protects plants from almost any disease.
3. "Akira." An effective chemical used to treat vegetables to protect against fungal diseases.

Conclusion

"Uniform" is a common fungicidal drug that is popular among gardeners and gardeners. Before using it, you need to understand the peculiarities of the action of the fungicide and study the instructions for its use.
