Reliable Protection at the Start: How "Tachigaren, WP" Saves Seedlings

When it comes to growing beets, the main headache for any agronomist is root rot. Losing part of the crop at the very beginning of the growing season isn't just about financial loss; it's about an uneven crop stand that plagues you all season long. By using "Tachigaren, WP" from the manufacturer "буряки цукрові," I bet on systemic protection that works from within.

Application Experience and Efficiency

The product is supplied as a wettable powder. When handling it, it is important to remember the 3rd hazard class: standard safety measures are not a whim, but a necessity. However, the systemic action of the product justifies the effort. Hymexazol in the composition penetrates the plant and effectively "treats" it from the inside, blocking the development of pathogens.

• Disease Control: It excels in handling Pythium and Fusarium root rots, which often destroy young sprouts in wet or cold soil conditions.
• Stability: One application is sufficient to ensure protection during the critical period. With a consumption rate of 3–5 kg per hectare, I get a predictable result without the need for repeated interventions.

Practical Tips for Use

Since this is a systemic fungicide, ensuring uniform coverage is crucial. The wettable powder requires high-quality mixing in the tank mixture to prevent sedimentation. Although the product was developed using Japanese technologies (applicant: "F. Mitsui Chemicals Agro Inc."), it is perfectly adapted for the conditions under which fodder and sugar beets are grown. During my usage, I noticed that the seedlings become more uniform, and plant loss due to fungal infections is minimized.

Maintaining crops with this fungicide requires discipline: strictly observe the dosage of 3–5 kg/ha, as exceeding the rate does not lead to a exponential increase in efficiency but only increases costs. This is a reliable tool in the arsenal of an agronomist who values time and wants to achieve uniform emergence on the first try.
