Systemic fungicide with therapeutic and preventive action, effectively protecting leaves, shoots and fruits from powdery mildew on apple and oidium on grapevine
Active ingredient: penconazole, 100 g/l
Manufacturer: Peters & Burg Ltd, Hungary
Formulation: concentrate emulsion.
Packaging unit: canister, 5 L
Mode of action
The active ingredient penconazole has systemic action. It penetrates the plant and quickly spreads throughout it, blocking the synthesis of ergosterol in the cell membrane of the pathogen. The preparation protects against primary infection at the beginning of vegetation and ensures reliable protection against secondary infection throughout the entire vegetation period.
Characteristics and advantages
Highly effective protection against infection by powdery mildew pathogens, especially during the stage of eliminating primary infection.
Systemic action helps protect all parts of the plant from powdery mildew infection.
The preparation ALMAZ 100 has curative properties, allowing to avoid negative effects of the pathogen on crop plants, even if infection has already occurred.
Rapidly absorbed by plants and resistant to wash-off by rain.
The efficacy of the preparation is not dependent on weather conditions.
Relatively low dosage ensures minimal chemical load on 1 ha of sown area.
Compatibility with other pesticides allows the use of ALMAZ preparation in integrated protection systems for agricultural crops.
Recommendations for application
The preparation is applied by ground spraying. Maximum efficiency is observed when applied preventively, when weather conditions favor the development and spread of the pathogen or at the first signs of disease. In such cases, the preparation should be applied at minimum dosage. During epidemic years and upon appearance of the first signs of plant infection, the preparation should be applied at maximum dosage. Interval between applications 10 — 14 days.
To prepare the working solution, fill the sprayer tank with water to 1/3 of its volume, turn on the mixing mode, and add the required amount of preparation. Fill the sprayer tank with water to full volume while the mixing mode is on. The dosage of the working solution is: for vineyards — 500 — 1000 L/ha; for apple trees — 800-1000 L/ha.
Entry of personnel onto treated areas for mechanized work is permitted after 3 days, for manual work — 7 days.
