To Prevent Plants from Getting Sick

Growing agricultural crops is a painstaking and complex endeavor. Farmers must constantly monitor the quality of planting material, sprouted plants, and harvested crops due to the negative impact of external factors. The most common problems for crops are diseases and pests. It is practically impossible to deal with them manually, so pesticides come to the rescue here.

«Matador», «Dezaral Extra»,

«Jin» - the number of names is so large that one has to spend time understanding the characteristics and purpose of each product. Particularly interesting to agronomists and gardeners is the use of preparations against diseases, as this problem has gained enormous proportions over the last decade. Therefore, it would be worthwhile to understand which substances are used to protect and treat crops from disease-causing agents.

Concept of Fungicides and Their Types

Preparations are based on specific chemical components. Thanks to a well-chosen composition, fungicides effectively protect crops from diseases and, in some cases, cure them. Some types of preparations - immunostimulants - are capable of exerting a counteraction against microorganisms within the crop. In general, there are three main groups:

  • curative;
  • protective;
  • immunizing.

Classification also includes the method of action of the substance on the plant. Contact-type agents remain on the surface of the crop and protect it from external pathogens. Systemic agents can penetrate into the plant and spread through its tissues. Due to this feature, these substances remain in the crop for a longer time and, therefore, provide a longer protective period.

Modern manufacturers create universal preparations, for example, fungicide «Shavit».

It has a contact-systemic action and provides high efficiency in combating fungal and bacterial pathogens.

Application Features

It is not enough to simply choose and buy the appropriate fungicide. The effectiveness of its action also depends on the correct application of the solution. Try to follow these recommendations when working with fungicides:

  1. Spraying is done on cloudy, windless days. It is also possible to start treatment early in the morning or in the evening. Remember that rain falling within 4-6 hours also reduces the effectiveness of the preparations.
  2. It is necessary to spray the plants themselves, not the soil. It is better to use a good sprayer, which will help save time and money.
  3. Prepared solution should be stored no more than one day.

Also, do not forget about your own safety. It is appropriate to use rubber gloves and a respirator.
