In gardening, one cannot do without the use of chemicals, since with the arrival of spring, phytopathogenic fungi begin to parasitize on young leaves and shoots. Gradually, the disease covers the entire plant and causes significant damage to the crop. Among the variety of drugs, many gardeners choose the Delan fungicide. It has a complex effect on fungal diseases and is suitable for both grapes and some fruit trees.

Let's get acquainted with the description, instructions, advantages and disadvantages of the Delan fungicide. We will learn how to use it correctly and in what dosages.

Characteristics

Fungicide Delan is a contact drug that effectively acts on fungal spores, regardless of their stage of development. The substance is not intended for application to the ground or for soaking seeds. The product is sprayed on the leaves and stems of cultivated plants and is characterized by resistance to low temperatures and precipitation.

Summer residents use the Delan fungicide to prevent and treat fungal infections. It is effective for various diseases:

scab;
clasterosporium disease (perforated spot);
late blight (brown rot);
curliness of leaves;

The fungicide comes in the form of granules that dissolve easily in water. For large-scale farms, you can purchase a bag weighing 5 kg, for small summer cottages, a bag weighing 5 g is enough.

Important! Fungicide Delan should not be used together with preparations that contain oily substances.

Mechanism of action

The drug contains the active ingredient dithianon, the concentration of which is 70%. The active substance acts on the virus in a contact way, envelops the leaves and stems with a dense layer that is not washed off by rain. The compound is resistant to water, but degrades under the influence of acids and alkalis. The fungicide is evenly distributed over the surface of the plant tissue and provides long-term protection to the plant.

Dithianon inhibits the growth and spread of fungal spores, which die under its influence. The rest of the plant is not affected by the virus.

The active substance has a versatile effect on the fungus, so the likelihood of addiction of pathogens to Dithianon is minimal.

The fungicide has no serious disadvantages. Despite the wide range of effects against fungal diseases, the product cannot be used for all crops. Delan is only suitable for grapes and fruit trees. It also does not provide protection to plants from the inside.

Preparation of the solution

A solution of the Delan fungicide is prepared immediately before processing, since it cannot be stored. To prepare the working fluid, 14 g of granules must be poured into a bucket of water with a volume of 8-10 liters and dissolved. According to the instructions for use, spraying is carried out with an interval of 15-20 days. If the weather is rainy, then the interval is reduced to 9-10 days. The total number of treatments is from 3 to 6, depending on the type of crop.

One medium tree will need from 2 to 3 liters of solution. The aerial part of the plant is evenly sprayed with a fungicide solution from all sides. For convenience, a spray gun and a fine-drop mode are used.

Apple tree

Many gardeners observe such an unpleasant phenomenon as scab on an apple tree... The disease is manifested by the appearance of yellow and dark spots on the leaves and fruits. The greenery dries up and falls off. This parasitic fungus can significantly reduce and harm crops.

Reviews of summer residents

Michael, 31 years old, Krasnodar city

This year we had a rainy and damp spring. Usually, diseases in such weather become more active, and fruit trees suffer. A peach grows in my garden, its leaves began to curl, turn yellow and dry out. Usually the fungicide Delan always helped me out. I dilute the drug according to the instructions, and process the tree during the growing season. I am very glad that it is not washed off by the rain. After spraying, the peach came to life, new, healthy leaves appeared. The product fights well against Mildew and ensures healthy growth, even in such cloudy weather. I also use it for grapes.

Svetlana, 53 years old, Saratov

Every spring I breed Delan fungicide and carry out preventive treatment of trees and shrubs in my garden. I choose it because it is effective even at low temperatures and frequent precipitation. Apple and Peach have not been sick for several years. Sometimes I alternate it with other drugs. But this is still a chemical, so you need to use it carefully and do not exceed the dosage indicated in the instructions.

Conclusion

Fungicide Delan is a very effective, modern and antifungal agent that is suitable for the treatment of fruit trees and vines. It inhibits the development of many parasitic fungi on the surface of the plant. If, after spraying, the disease continues to develop, contact a specialist.
