Amulet

Amulet — systemic fungicide with the active ingredient tebuconazole (250 g/l), designed for the protection of cereal and technical crops against a wide spectrum of fungal diseases. The preparation is effective against brown and yellow rust, septoria, fusarium, alternaria, cylindrospermosis, powdery mildew, pyrenophora, and other diseases causing significant yield losses. Tebuconazole belongs to the triazole chemical class and exhibits systemic action, rapidly penetrating the plant through leaves and stems, evenly distributing throughout the xylem, and providing protection for both treated and newly growing parts of the crop.

The mechanism of action is based on inhibition of the enzyme C14-demethylase, involved in the biosynthesis of ergosterol — a key component of fungal cell membranes. This leads to destruction of the pathogen's cell structure, halting its growth and causing death. Amulet has both preventive and curative effects, effectively suppressing infection even after the pathogen has penetrated plant tissues. Additionally, when applied to winter rapeseed, the preparation acts as a growth regulator, slowing excessive above-ground mass development during autumn, promoting compact leaf rosette formation and strong root system development.

Use of Amulet increases crop winter hardiness, reduces the risk of freezing damage, and improves plant resistance to extreme weather conditions such as sudden frosts, temperature fluctuations, and water deficiency. The preparation is formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate, applied at a rate of 0.5–1 l/ha depending on the crop, with a shelf life of 3 years. WHO classification categorizes Amulet as a low-toxicity product (Class III). It is well compatible with other plant protection products and contains surfactants that enhance application efficiency.
