Fungicide KUMIR

Synergy of two classes: how KUMIR works

The efficacy of the KUMIR fungicide from "Fabryka ahrokhimikativ" is based on a combination of two powerful active ingredients: kresoxim-methyl and difenoconazole. This combination covers multiple classes of agents — strobilurins and triazoles — allowing for the suppression of pathogens at various stages of their life cycle.

Mechanism of action: blending systemic and contact properties

The primary engineering goal of the preparation is to ensure not just external protection but deep internal plant health.

• Kresoxim-methyl (strobilurin): exhibits translaminar activity. It spreads across the leaf surface, creating a protective barrier that blocks mitochondrial respiration in fungi. This is critical for preventative measures during active sporulation.
• Difenoconazole (triazole): provides systemic action. The substance is rapidly absorbed by plant tissues and moves within the plant, inhibiting ergosterol biosynthesis in fungal cells. This ensures a curative effect if an infection has already occurred.

Technical application aspects

The product is supplied as an emulsifiable concentrate, simplifying the preparation of the working solution and improving the wetting of vegetative organs. KUMIR shows high resistance to rainfall washing, making it optimal for use in unstable weather conditions. The toxicity class 3 requires standard safety precautions, while the product demonstrates excellent compatibility with most modern insecticides and micronutrient fertilizers.

Control spectrum and target crops

The technical profile of the product is focused on intensive horticulture and viticulture. Key areas of application:

• Vineyards: total control of oidium and mildew. Due to the high mobility of its components, KUMIR is effective even in dense canopies.
• Fruit crops (apple, peach): indispensable in the fight against scab and leaf curl. Application during the "pink bud" phase helps curb primary infection, preserving yield potential.
