"Horus" - fungicide: reviews, instructions for use

The high yield on the plot is largely dependent on the proper care of plants that, like people, can get sick. To combat various infections fungicidal agents have been developed. In the Russian market, a new drug, Horus, a fungicide, has been introduced, which is possible for many fruit crops.

Description

This drug is considered the first systemic drug, through which comprehensive prevention and treatment of many plant diseases is carried out .

It is known that the preparation "Horus" is a fungicide, the instruction describes its trans-laminar effect or local systemic nature, which is caused by its insolubility in water. In this regard, the drug is not able to spread on the plant along with the juice. However, it can penetrate into young leaves or fruits through the intercellular space and for a long time to act from within for prevention.

Translaminar action is also a drawback of the drug, since the active substance is capable of penetrating into mature leaves, especially with a thick cuticle. That's why the "Horus" (fungicide) agent recommends using the instruction for young plants at the beginning of the growing season.

The penetration of the active substance into the leaf cells occurs within a few hours, after the precipitation the medication is no longer washed away. The fungicide is able to work even at low temperatures. In late spraying, shortly before harvesting, the detoxification of fruits takes place, which allows to improve their storage and to reduce the loss from rot by 40%.

Who produces

The Swiss company "Syngenta" is considered one of the world leaders in the implementation of means for protecting plants from various diseases, it is she who is the developer of the drug "Horus". Fungicide manufacturer produces in the form of water-dispersible granules. Packed in packages of 1 g, 3 g, 15 g and 1 kg.

Description of active ingredient

The active substance of a fungicidal agent is cyprodinil. The chemical group of the compound is anilinopyrimidine.

The amount of cyprodinil is 750 g in one kg of the preparation "Horus" (fungicide). The active ingredient refers to the third class of toxicity according to WHO classification.

Being a modern pesticide, the medicine is aimed at combating pathogens of fungal nature, in the majority for preventive purposes. The substance inhibits amino acid biosynthesis, which contributes to the disruption of the life cycle of the pathogen during the growth of the mycelium and during entry into plant cells. An important feature of the drug is its effect on the wintering stage of pathogenic fungi of the Ascomycetes, Deuteromycetes and some species of Bazidomycetes.

Cyprodinil prevents the germination of fungal hyphae in the tissues of only young leaves, which limits its use in adult plants. It is unlikely that this fungicide is capable of neutralizing a highly contaminated seedling.

Why use

The drug "Horus" (fungicide) instructions for use advise to use for monilianol burn stone fruit trees, which include cherries, cherries, apricots, plums, cherry plum and peach.

The product is effective for coccomicosis, klyasterosporiose, scab, powdery mildew, fruit rot, curly leaf blades, gray rot, oidium, mildew, white and brown spots, gray rot, leaf blotch.

By the preparation "Horus" (fungicide) the instruction on application recommends processing various grades of grapes, strawberries, strawberries, rose bushes and lawn grass.

General recommendations for use

For the preparation "Horus" (fungicide), the instruction contains recommendations for the correct preparation of solution and treatment of plants. The trees are provided with sprinkling of the crown in two stages. The first treatment is carried out before the flowering, the second - in the growing season after flowering, but not later than 2 weeks before the ripening of the crop.

To prepare the working solution, use 3-3.5 g of fungicide, which is diluted in 10 liters of water. This volume of the mixture can be processed 1 planted weaving. The amount of solution for one tree is from 2 to 4 liters, but you should consider the size of the tree crown and the type of spraying device.

The treatment of plants is carried out when dry and calm, with good weather. For better action, the solution is evenly wetted by all the leaf blades. As for the mixing with the other pesticides of the preparation Horus (fungicide), the experts' comments indicate good compatibility, but a preliminary check should be carried out so that there is no chemical reaction.

Usually, water is poured into the spraying device first, then the fungicide is loaded, and the rest of the substances are then filled up. When you package the products in bags, the water-soluble ones are first immersed in water, and only then the fungicide is sprinkled. After the treatment, the sprayer is washed with a jet of clean water.

The peculiarity of using this tool lies in its greatest effectiveness in cool weather, at an air temperature of +3 to +10 ° C of heat. When the thermometer column exceeds + 22 ° C, do not recommend the treatment of plants with the Horus preparation (fungicide) instructions for use. The reviews of gardeners confirm its advantage over other means that do not work at low temperatures. Due to this property of the fungicide it is used in the beginning of spring, just during the period of the spread of the moniliasis and other infection on stone or pome fruit trees.

The duration of protection is from 7 to 10 days. The instructions also indicate that the drug is able to have a therapeutic effect on infected plants. For further processing, use other fungicides that are effective in warm weather, for example, "Skor".

The time between harvesting and the last spraying of the culture with fungicides, when the level of the content of the used agent is reduced to safe rates, is different for each plant. With strawberries and grapes, you can pick berries in 7 days, from the stone fruit and pome fruits are harvested only after 30 days.

The drug does not have a toxic effect on bees and other insects that live on the site. It is proved that when the fungicide norm is increased twice, no harmful effect on plants occurs.

Remains of the working solution "Horus" will not be stored, they should be disposed of. If the product package has not been opened, it can be kept at -10 ° C and + 35 ° C at air temperature.

Processing of roses

Plants are treated to prevent mildew and other fungal diseases by various pesticides. Usually, the preparation "Horus-fungicide" is used to treat roses before buds appear and to set the ambient temperature + 10 ° С. The solution is prepared for 10 liters of water.

In the future, a combination of several fungicidal agents is used. For medicinal purposes, a blossoming bush is sprayed with a mixture of "Horus" and "Aktara" preparations.

From powdery mildew, the simultaneous treatment of roses with several drugs, including fungicides "Horus" and "Aktara", chelating microelements, "Adhesive" medication, gives good results. All of the above preparations are jointly bred to 10 liters of water. Spraying should be done in the evening.

Fruit tree processing

When the clasterosporium or coccomicosis affects the peach, plum, apricot, cherry, cherry seedlings , the first treatment with the Horus preparation is carried out during the vegetative period, and the subsequent spraying is performed after 10 days. When processing 1 hundred of plantings, 3.5 g of preparation per 10 liters of water is required.

Processing means "Horus-fungicide" peach, cherry, apricot and other fruit stone fruit trees with monilial burn. With the appearance of the first signs of infection during the growing season, the first treatment with the drug is made, and subsequent spraying is performed after 14 days. When processing 1 hectare of plantations, 2 to 3.5 g of the preparation per 10 liters of water are required.

If fruiting rot has appeared on the stone fruit plants, the fungicide is first treated during the growing season , and the second spraying is carried out two weeks before the fruit is collected. When processing 1 hundred of plantings, 3.5 g of preparation per 10 liters of water is required.

When a scab, fruit tree, or apple tree appears on the pome orchard, alternaria, moniliosis or powdery mildew, the first spraying of the tree crowns in the green cone or end of flowering period is performed during the growing season. Subsequent processing is performed after 10 days. When processing 1 hectare of plantations, 2 g of preparation per 10 liters of water is required.

The amount of the working solution, which is consumed per 100 m ² , is 10 liters. The entry of workers into areas treated with fungicides for manual work related to the care of crops is allowed only after 7 days. To perform mechanized activities, it is sufficient to wait 3 days.

The processing of stone and pome fruits is carried out on large tractors using tractor sprayers. Preliminary calibration of the spraying equipment before use is necessary, taking into account the speed of the spraying device, the supply of the solution, the uniform distribution of the working solution. The jet of air is directed to the cultural plantations, using throttle latches.

The processing of trees is carried out from two sides, covering the entire crown. The volume of the working solution is used depending on the size of the tree and is from 400 to 9000 liters per hectare. You can use tips that have a hollow spray cone and the corresponding filters. The air pressure varies from 2 to 5 bar.

Processing strawberries and strawberries

These plants are susceptible to infection with gray mold, powdery mildew, white and brown spots. The main source of infection are the remains of diseased plants that have remained since last year. That is why it is important for the prevention and treatment to use the drug "Horus" (fungicide) for strawberries or strawberries.

Different concentrations of the working solution are used in different growing seasons. For the treatment of shrubs before flowering or after picking berries, use a solution. It is prepared as follows: 6 g of fungicide per 10 liters of water. During the formation of the ovary, the concentration of the solution is reduced by half, for which 3 g of the drug is dissolved in 10 liters of water. The consumption of the resulting liquid is 5 liters per one hundred square meters.

Such treatment before and after the flowering period will protect the strawberry bushes from pathogens causing powdery mildew, white leaf spot, and gray rot of berries.

Also, the drug can be used in conjunction with other pesticides. For the prevention of fungal diseases and protection from pests (weevil, leaf beetle), a combination of 0.7 kg fungicide "Horus" and "Actellik 500" insecticide in a volume of 0.6 liters per hectare of plantations are used.

The drug is highly effective against gray rot of strawberry. The spread and penetration of this infection occurs at the time of flowering. An increase in the number of fungal spores in the air is observed at the beginning of the opening of the buds, but most of them are found after the fruiting. This treatment is recommended by the preparation "Horus" (fungicide) instructions for use. The farmers' comments indicate the effectiveness of preventive spraying before and after the flowering period. The pesticide is able to have a therapeutic effect for one and a half days after infection.

Processing of grapes

Against oidium, gray rot and mildew apply the protective agent "Horus" (fungicide). The instruction for grapes includes the rate of consumption of the preparation, which is 6 g per 5 liters of water, the rate of use of the working solution, the value of which corresponds to 2 liters per hundred.

During the growing season, a young vine and leaves are treated in three stages at different times of the season. The first spraying with the preparation "Horus" (fungicide) for grapes is carried out at the time of bud formation and before flowering, the second treatment is during the period of the formation of bunches of berries, and the third is carried out during the ripening and staining of the fruit.

Opinion of gardeners and specialists

When using the drug "Horus" (fungicide) for the first time, you can hear a variety of responses. Usually, with a good effect, the gardeners' funds begin to advise their acquaintances. In case of low efficiency, the fungicide is not used in the future, but replaced with another modern preparation.

Good results are obtained by spraying strawberries from white and brown spots with the protective agent "Horus" (fungicide). Reviews indicate effective treatment of plants, young leaves do not form spots, the bush starts to turn green and acquires a healthy appearance. The drug is convenient to use, it is enough to dilute the contents of the sachet in water, mix well and pour into the sprayer's container.

High efficiency manifests itself in cool, moist weather, which is a feature of the Horus (fungicide). The reviews of summer residents confirm its effect at a temperature of + 3 ° C in the spring season, and the effect becomes noticeable after a couple of hours.

When used correctly, there is no addiction Pathogenic microflora to cyprodinil, which is part of the fungicide. Gardeners like that the drug is not washed away by precipitation, which is an advantage of its use.

Another important feature of the remedy is the absence of phytotoxicity, which makes it possible to obtain environmentally friendly fruits after processing, only subject to safety rules. It is noted that the drug does not harm the bees, but it poses a danger to the fish.

Ease of use is due to its good compatibility with many pesticides, which provides a better effect and the ability to apply not only against fungal infection, but also for the destruction of harmful insects.

The disadvantage of the fungicide is a weak effect with a strong infestation of adult plants, which in most cases can not be saved.
