Systemic Protection: How Fito-lekar Works

The efficacy of the "Fito-lekar" fungicide by "Khimagromarketing" is rooted in its active ingredient, flutriafol (a triazole derivative). This compound demonstrates powerful systemic activity: it rapidly penetrates plant tissues and moves acropetally, ensuring coverage of both existing foliage and new growth.

Pathogen Suppression Mechanism

Flutriafol inhibits the biosynthesis of ergosterol within fungal cells. Since ergosterol is vital for maintaining the structural integrity of fungal cell membranes, its inhibition leads to irreparable cellular damage and the cessation of mycelial development. This high selectivity ensures potent control over various pathogens, including rusts, septoria, cercospora, and phoma.

Technical Specifications

• Formulation: As a suspension concentrate, it ensures superior stability of the spray solution and uniform distribution across leaf surfaces.
• Application Rates: Up to 0.5 L/ha, making it a cost-effective solution for wheat, barley, sugar beet, and vineyard protection.
• Treatment Regime: Up to two applications per season are permitted. A pre-harvest interval (PHI) of 30 days must be observed.

The systemic nature of "Fito-lekar" enables both curative action against active infection sites and preventive protection against new spore colonization. Classified under hazard class 3, the product requires standard safety precautions while offering highly manageable and effective field-level control.
