Experienced gardeners know that even the most thorough care can be useless if the tree becomes a victim of one of many fungal diseases. Avoiding adversity and coping with a defeated plant will help only the competent use of fungicides. Moreover, every gardener-pro has his own "brand" drug, which reliably protects all inhabitants of the garden from fungal attack. One of these drugs - the systemic fungicide "Horus" we'll talk today.
Description of the fungicide "Horus"
Fungicide "Horus" refers to systemic drugs that are allowed to be used in private gardens. An active ingredient in it is cyprodinil. "Horus" is a water dispersion preparation that dries quickly after spraying and forms a protective film on the surface of plant leaves. This drug is intended for the protection and treatment of stone and pome fruit garden inhabitants from the following diseases:
- fruit rot;
- scab;
- coccomicosis;
- curly leaves;
- moniliasis .
Among the many drugs with a similar effect, "Horus" stands out because it actively operates at sufficiently low temperatures and a relatively high level of humidity. So, they can process the garden at a temperature of +3 degrees and even in foggy or wet weather. 120 minutes after spraying, Horus is not washed away by rain, which significantly reduces the cost of repeated processing. It distinguishes this drug and a low level of danger to the environment: it is practically harmless to birds, bees and pets, and is highly toxic to fish.
Instructions for the use of the fungicide "Horus"
Preparation of the solution of the fungicide "Horus" for the treatment of the garden is carried out as follows: fill the working tank of the sprayer by one quarter with clean water, add the required amount of the preparation, and then add the remaining water with continuous stirring. Store the finished solution is strictly prohibited, it must be used on the day of preparation, and the leftovers should be disposed of.
The rates of drug consumption per 1 sotka are as follows:
- for the treatment of stone fruit (cherry, cherry, plum, peach, apricot) against clastosporiosis, coccomicosis, fruit rot and moniliosis - 3.5 grams of the drug per 10 liters of water;
- for the treatment of pomegranate (pear, apple) against powdery mildew, moniliosis, scab and alternaria - 2 grams of the drug per 10 liters of water;
- for processing grapes from various types of rot (white, gray, etc.) - 6-7 grams of the drug per 10 liters of water.
Processing of apples and pears "Horus" is made twice for the growing season: the first spraying falls on the phase "green cone" - the "end of flowering", and the second one after one and a half weeks.
The first processing of cherries, cherries and plums "Horus" from coccomicosis and clastosporiosis is performed when primary signs of infection are detected, and repeated - 7-10 days afterwards.
For the protection of grapes from rot, three-fold treatment is practiced: during the flowering period, until the berries come together in the bunch and during the beginning of the coloring of the berries.
Compatibility of fungicide "Horus" with other drugs
The drug has a high degree of compatibility with other chemicals used to protect the garden from fungus and insecticides. Thus, it can be used almost without restrictions for the preparation of so-called "tank" mixtures. To date, there are data on the compatibility of Horus with the following drugs:
