Triple-Action Protection: The Anatomy of "Deposit"

The success of soybean, pea, and potato cultivation depends entirely on sterile starting conditions. "Deposit," a systemic fungicide from Shchelkovo Agrokhim-KZ, is engineered as a complex protection system designed to block the infection background on seeds and in the surrounding soil. Its efficacy is built on the synergy of three active components: imazalil, metalaxyl, and fludioxonil.

Why this composition works

• Imazalil (imidazoles): Provides a systemic effect by penetrating deep into the seed to suppress helminthosporiosis and root rots. This is the essential "internal defense" that halts fungal infections lurking beneath the seed coat.
• Metalaxyl (phenylamides): Its role is the localized systemic control of oomycetes. This component is critical in combating downy mildew (peronosporosis), as it creates a "protective barrier" around the germinating root, preventing pathogens from infiltrating the plant's vascular system.
• Fludioxonil (phenylpyrroles): Acts as a powerful contact fungicide. It is ideal for curbing rhizoctoniosis and fusarium by creating an exclusion zone around the seed. While fludioxonil does not migrate into the plant, its high activity in the rhizosphere makes it indispensable against soil-borne infections.

Practical Application Aspects

The product is formulated as a suspension concentrate, which ensures the stability of the working solution and uniform coverage of the planting material. The application rate ranges from 0.5 to 1.0 liters per ton, allowing for flexible dosage adjustments based on the phytosanitary load of a specific field. Use of "Deposit" is limited to a single application, which is technologically justified: the seed treatment creates long-lasting protection precisely during the germination stage, when the crop is most vulnerable.

Given its Hazard Class 2 rating, strict adherence to application regulations and personal protective measures is required. However, investing in "Deposit" is an insurance policy for seedlings, eliminating the need for replanting due to seed decay or early wilting of young plants. It is a robust solution for ensuring optimal plant density in any agrotechnical cycle.
