Switch 62.5 WG is a fungicide for protecting strawberries from gray mold and other diseases. The preparation contains two active substances: fludioxonil and cyprodinil, providing dual action against the pathogen, as well as reliable plant protection. Switch 62.5 WG has contact-penetrating and preventive-eradicating action, therefore protecting the plant at four stages of pathogen development: during conidial germination, at the beginning of pathogen mycelial growth, upon pathogen penetration into cells, and halts mycelial growth within cells. The preparation has high efficacy against various grapevine rot types. Therapeutic action lasts 2 days, and protective action — 10-12 days. Safe for bees, beneficial insects, and the environment. Low toxicity, safe for humans (LD50 > 3000 mg/kg).
Use of this preparation significantly improves the appearance and storage quality of the produce.
Packaging: 2 g (foil packet), 1 kg (box).
Maximum number of applications: 2.
Pre-harvest interval after application — 7 days.
Application: contents of the packet (2 g) diluted in 1 L of water to prepare the working solution.
First spraying — at the beginning of flowering, second — after mass flowering. For spraying 1 acre of fruit plantations, 2 L per young tree; 5 L per fruiting, medium-aged tree.
When spraying apple tree varieties, or 2 L per young tree; 5 L per fruiting, medium-aged tree.
When spraying apple tree varieties sensitive to powdery mildew infection, add Topaz 100 EC to the preparation.
Working solution consumption rate: up to 5 L per acre. Application is performed twice per season: before flowering and after mass flowering.
