Contact fungicide with preventive and protective action, against a broad spectrum of disease-causing pathogens, for protection of vegetable, melon, fruit crops and vineyards. Has bactericidal action.
Form of the preparation and active ingredient:
Wettable powder containing copper hydroxide, 770 g/kg.
Chemical class:
Copper compounds.
Packaging:
Bags of 10 kg.
Protective action period:
7-12 days.
Mechanism of action:
The fungitoxic action of the product Meteor is based on the fact that in the moisture required for germination of pathogenic fungi spores, copper is present, which is adsorbed by the cytoplasm of fungal cells; spores gradually adsorb copper from the solution to lethal doses, preventing their germination.
Properties and advantages:
Highly effective contact fungicide against pathogens of false powdery mildew and most forms of spot diseases.
Has a preventive effect, inhibits spore germination and cell division of the pathogen, stopping the disease in its early stage.
Applied on many agricultural crops: apple, pear, vineyards, peach, hops, currant, sugar beet, cucumbers, potatoes, tomatoes, cabbage, onions, etc.
Protects against infections on the surface of plants.
Has high adhesion, applied evenly and qualitatively on treated surfaces.
No development of resistant forms in phytopathogens.
Non-phytotoxic to plants due to balanced copper content and absence of chlorine.
Does not cause phytotoxicity regardless of crop development stage.
Ideal component for tank mixtures.
Does not negatively affect the environment.
WHO classification, toxicological characteristics:
Class III (moderately toxic).
Shelf life and storage conditions of the preparation:
