DC RAKURS

Technical profile of DK Rakurs: systemic control of fungal pathogens

The fungicide "DK Rakurs" is based on carbendazim, a benzimidazole compound with a unique ability to block pathogen cell division at the metaphase stage. Due to its high systemic activity, the preparation quickly penetrates the plant's vascular system, providing protection for both existing and newly developing tissues.

Mechanism of action and pharmacokinetics

The product operates on two levels: contact and systemic. The contact component instantly stops spore development on the leaf surface, while the systemic component translocates acropetally, suppressing mycelium within the tissues. This makes "DK Rakurs" an essential tool in intensive farming technologies for cereals and industrial crops.

• Fodder beet: total control of cercospora leaf spot, preventing the decrease of sugar content.
• Sunflower: suppression of phomopsis and phoma, which critically reduce oil content during early infection.
• Cereals (wheat, barley): protection against a wide spectrum of blotches, including septoria and helminthosporiosis, as well as control of powdery mildew.

The formulation – suspension concentrate – ensures the stability of the active ingredient in tank mixtures and uniform distribution on the leaf plate after the working solution dries. Classified as hazard class 3, the product requires adherence to standard safety measures, yet provides predictable results in managing fusarium and other pathogens.

Practical application advice

The product's effectiveness depends directly on the frequency of application and the growth stage of the crop. The systemic effect is most pronounced with preventive application or at the first signs of disease. Due to the lack of phytotoxicity for target crops, "DK Rakurs" can be integrated into complex protection schemes as a reliable base component.
