Pest and disease control plays an important role in obtaining a bountiful and high-quality harvest. With a wide range of options, making the right choice is quite difficult. Fungal diseases can be easily defeated with the help of the drug "Strobi" (fungicide). The instructions for its use for grapes indicate that the product is effective and has a minimum of disadvantages.
Description of the product
The drug "Strobi" is widely used as a fungicide against bacteria that cause fungal diseases. The active components of the product act on fungi that parasitize the leaves, preventing them from forming spores and stopping the development of the mycelium. In this way, disease outbreaks are blocked.
“Strobi” for grapes has a unique composition, thanks to which it is possible to overcome many diseases that appear as a result of the germination of fungal spores. The drug inhibits cell division of pathogenic fungi and affects individual fragments of them. To destroy the fungus, only a small amount of the product is sufficient. At the same time, Strobi is safe for humans and animals. However, some mushrooms are capable of mutation, as a result of which they become invulnerable.
Advantages of the drug
According to experienced gardeners, the advantage of Strobi is as follows:
- grape processing can be produced even during flowering;
- no harm is caused to humans or animals;
- the product is resistant to low temperatures;
- it is possible to carry out prevention and treatment of most garden trees and shrubs;
- when released into the ground, the components quickly decompose;
- protective functions are maintained for a long period after treatment;
- timely use of the product guarantees an effect in the fight against various diseases;
- it is allowed to apply “Strobe” even to wet plants;
- the drug is distributed evenly over the surface of the plants;
- the product is characterized by increased resistance to precipitation;
- the active substances act on the leaves even when the treatment is carried out on one side.
The disadvantage of Strobi is that over time, some fungi mutate, and the drug can no longer affect them.
Composition and mechanism of action of the drug
The active ingredient in the drug "Strobi" is kresoxim-methyl.Release form: granules that are easily soluble in water. Unlike other similar preparations, this product is evenly distributed not only over the surface of the leaf, but also inside it. In this case, a small part of the drug is absorbed by the plant.
When it gets into the ground, the substance breaks down into molecules, so there is no contamination of the soil and groundwater.
Application
The instructions for use of the drug indicate that it has a wide spectrum of action. At the same time, “Strobi” is a fungicide with an individual dosage for each plant. This means that before using it you need to carefully read what is written on the package and follow the recommendations.
Treatment with this product guarantees not only the treatment of the affected grapes, but also the destruction of the source of the disease itself. The active substance prevents the formation of new spores, so repeated outbreaks of viruses are unlikely. To prepare the solution, you need to take 2 grams of the drug and 8 liters of water. The vineyards are sprayed twice with an interval of one week. It is preferable to carry out work in the morning or evening hours.
What does it protect against?
According to the instructions for use, “Strobi” helps to cope with such common grape diseases as:
- powdery mildew;
- black spot;
- basal cancer of shoots;
- scab;
- rust;
- oidium;
- mildew.
Experts say that it is advisable to use Strobi exclusively during the growing season, however, practicing winegrowers often resort to its help for preventive treatments.
Combination with other drugs
The drug "Strobi" can be used in conjunction with other drugs, but it is recommended to check them for compatibility first.Manufacturers say that the product can be used together with pesticides such as BI-58 or Fastak, as well as fungicides such as Polyram or Delan. Reviews from experienced winegrowers indicate a positive experience in combining Strobi with Quadris and Abiga-Peak. All other combinations must be carried out very carefully to avoid unwanted chemical reactions that will cause more harm to the plants than good.
