Garden crops need protection against fungal diseases, the pathogens of which take on new forms over time. Infinito's highly effective fungicide is distributed on the domestic market. The drug is produced by the well-known German company Bayer Garden and has managed to gain recognition among farmers.
Composition
Infinito fungicide contains active ingredients to protect many vegetables in the following ratio:
- Propamocarb hydrochloride - 625 grams per liter;
- Fluopicolide - 62.5 grams per liter.
Propamocarb hydrochloride
The known systemic fungicide very quickly penetrates all plant surfaces along the ascending and descending vectors. Even those parts of leaves and stems that do not fall on during spraying with Infinito are affected by a highly moisturizing substance. The agent retains its activity, which is damaging to fungi, for a long period. This characteristic contributes to the fact that shoots and leaves formed after processing are protected. Propamocarb hydrochloride also acts as a growth stimulant when using the fungicide Infinito: it can enhance plant development.
Fluopicolide
A substance of a new chemical class, fluopicolide, when spraying plants with the fungicide Infinito, instantly exerts its effect on fungi and suppresses their further vital activity. The active substance penetrates into the plant tissues through the intercellular spaces, thus protecting the treated cultures from further infection with spores of pathogenic fungi. On the surface of leaves and stems of an infected plant, all pathogens die at any stage of their development.
The mechanism of influence of the fungicide fluopicolide is the destruction of the walls and the skeleton of the cells of the bodies of the fungi. This unique function is unique to fluopicolide. If the plant is recently infected, after spraying with Infinito fungicide, it is quite capable of recovering. After the droplets dry, the smallest particles of the fungicide fluopicolide remain on the surface of the tissues for a long time, forming a protective film against the penetration of new spores. They are not washed off even under heavy rainfall.
Characteristics of the drug
Infinito is distributed as a concentrated suspension. An effective dual-direction fungicide that protects vegetables from late blight and peronosporosis, not only has a prophylactic effect, but is also used for infected plants. Infinito acts rather quickly on fungal spores: it penetrates into plant tissues in 2-4 hours. It is possible to completely stop the development of the disease soon after the application of the fungicide, thanks to the combination of new active chemicals.
- The drug is used to treat potatoes and tomatoes in order to protect against late blight;
- Sprayed on cucumbers and cabbage in the fight against downy mildew, or downy mildew;
- The substance propamocarb hydrochloride in the Infinito fungicide also contributes to the early development of plants.
How to distinguish fungal diseases of vegetable crops
Fungal diseases late blight and peronosporosis, or downy mildew, differ from each other and affect different cultures.
Late blight
This fungal infection manifests itself in potatoes and tomatoes. The development of the disease is facilitated by sudden changes in night and day temperatures, a prolonged period of rainy and cloudy weather, as a result of which there is an increased air humidity.
Signs of tomato damage
From the beginning of infection, small brown spots of a blurred shape appear on the leaves of tomatoes. Then similar spots are formed on green or red tomato fruits. The crop deteriorates, the tomato bush is affected, dries up and dies. The development of the disease is quite rapid: a large tomato plantation may die in a week.
Potato late blight
On potato beds, late blight usually manifests itself during flowering: brown spots of irregular shape cover the lower leaves of a potato bush. There is information from vegetable growers that recently infection begins from the apical part of the stems and leaves of potatoes. Spores quickly spread throughout the plant, through the soil, in the rain, and infect tubers. The disease develops in the range of 3-16 days, the rate of damage depends on the air temperature.
Peronosporosis
The disease in the field is more often observed starting in July. In greenhouses, spores have been active since spring or even winter.
Cucumber disease symptoms
According to the conclusions of scientists, the defeat of cucumbers by spores of downy mildew is more intense with increased solar radiation. It affects photosynthesis in cucumber leaves, on which the rapid development of infectious agents depends. Under favorable conditions, the whole plant, like the site, is affected in three days: the leaves are spotty, then they quickly dry out.
Peronosporosis of cabbage
In cabbage greenhouses, infection begins in spots on the upper side of the leaf. At high humidity, spores penetrate into the petiole. Symptoms of infestation in cabbage fields: yellow spots on the underside of the leaf.
Possibilities of the new drug
Since the spores of pathogenic fungi infect plants, spreading through the intercellular spaces, the use of a new class of chemical agent - Infinito fungicide is able to block the vital activity of pathogens. The active ingredients of the fungicide penetrate into plant tissues in the same way and destroy fungi.
According to European scientists, a new form of late blight has appeared with the A2 type of compatibility. Moreover, the emergence of the next, newest form is observed, due to the crossing of pathogens of old, with the A1 type of compatibility, with new ones. Pathogens are very aggressive, multiply rapidly, and infect plants early. Also tubers are affected to a greater extent. Infinito fungicide is able to resist the development of infection caused by any pathogens. The main thing is if the disease is noticed when the plant can still be saved.
Benefits of the tool
The fungicide does an excellent job of resisting the spread of disease on plants.
- The guarantee of crop protection is a combination of two potent substances;
- The positive effect of the fungicide on the further development of plants;
- The fungicide acts at the cellular level, its effect does not depend on precipitation;
- Duration of exposure;
- Pathogens do not develop addiction to Infinito fungicide.
Application
The fungicide should be used in accordance with the instructions.
Potatoes
The culture is treated 2-3 times, starting from the time of flowering.
- Fungicide consumption rate: from 1.2 liters to 1.6 liters per hectare, or 15 ml per hundred square meters;
- The interval between spraying is up to 10-15 days;
- The waiting period before harvest is 10 days.
Tomatoes
Tomatoes are processed 2 times.
- The first spraying is carried out 10-15 days after planting in the ground;
- Dilute 15 ml of fungicide in 5 liters of water.
Cucumbers
Plants are treated 2 times per growing season.
- Dissolve 15 ml of the drug in 5 l of water;
- The interval before collecting products is 10 days.
Cabbage
During the growing season, cabbage is sprayed with Infinito fungicide 2 times, including processing in a greenhouse.
- Take 15 ml of fungicide in 5 liters of water. The solution is enough for a hundred square meters;
- The last treatment is 40 days before harvesting the heads of cabbage.
The drug is effective and will help to grow a rich and high-quality crop.
