- is effective at various stages of the disease;
- can be used at all stages of plant growth and development;
- due to the versatile effect, the likelihood of addiction of pathogens to the fungicide is minimal;
- helps both prevent infection and suppress the development of an already existing fungus;

- gives a quick and lasting effect.
The advantages of the fungicide completely override its disadvantages, which are not so many.
disadvantages
Many gardeners are not satisfied with the cost of the drug. The average price per liter of concentrate can reach 1800 rubles. Also, do not forget that this is an agrochemical that should be used only when necessary. If you follow the instructions and safety rules when working with the Consento fungicide, then undesirable consequences can be avoided.
Features of the preparation of the solution
It is recommended to process vegetable beds in calm weather, in the morning or in the evening. Since bright sunlight can cause rapid evaporation of the drug, which does not have time to act. Preventive spraying with Consento fungicide is carried out at an early stage of plant development. In total, from 3 to 4 treatments are carried out with an interval of 10-15 days.
The working fluid is prepared at the rate of 40 ml of suspension per 10 liters of water. 100 m2 5 liters of solution are consumed, and 400 liters per hectare. Before mixing it, the spray bottle should be thoroughly rinsed and cleaned. Pour some water into it, add the required amount of suspension and stir until smooth. Then add the remaining water to the container.
Potatoes
Fungicide Consento effectively prevents the appearance of late blight and Alternaria on potatoes. Diseases slow down the growth and development of the plant, reduce the yield several times.
For potato processing prepare a standard solution of the fungicide (20 ml of suspension per 5 l of water) and spray it evenly onto the tops using a spray bottle. In total, 4 treatments are carried out and, depending on the degree of infection, the interval between them should be from 8 to 15 days.
Tomato
The most dangerous diseases of tomatoes are late blight and alternaria, which affect the entire plant: foliage, stems, fruits. They are characterized by the appearance of dark spots and the withering away of the tops. Average yield losses from Alternaria are 10%, and from late blight - 25%.
Fungicide Consento will help prevent these troubles. The working fluid of the drug is prepared from 20 ml of concentrate (one bottle) and 5 liters of settled water. According to the instructions, the plant is sprayed four times with an interval of 1-2 weeks. The fruit can be eaten 21 days after the last treatment.
Cucumber
When growing cucumbers, gardeners may encounter peronosporosis. Small, yellow spots form on the foliage, on the back of which a black-brown bloom appears. The fruits are not affected, but their development is slowed down. If the cucumbers are not treated, fruiting ceases, and over time the plant dies.
To protect the plantings of cucumbers from peronosporosis, they should be treated with the Consento fungicide. The working solution of the drug is mixed according to the instructions and preventive measures are started at the beginning of the growing season. The beds are sprayed 4 times with an interval of 8-15 days.
Bow
Peronosporosis of onions or downy mildew is the misfortune of many summer residents. Yellow spots and gray spores begin to appear on green shoots. Infection of bulbs and seeds leads to loss of yield and death of the plant.
Preventive use of the Consento fungicide minimizes the risk of disease. Preparation of working fluid: Stir 20 ml of concentrate in 5 liters of water. Treat the onion beds with the resulting solution 4 times with an interval of 8-14 days.
Sunflower
Fungicide Consento is also effective against Alternaria, gray and white rot on sunflowers, which can affect the entire basket. You can lose up to 50% of the crop.
For sunflower treatment, a standard fungicide solution is used (20 ml of suspension per 5 liters of water). The basket and stem of the plant are sprayed three times with an interval of 10-14 days according to the instructions.
Analogs and compatibility with other drugs
Fungicide Consento can be added to tank mixes with many insecticides and fungicides. But before that, each drug should be checked for compatibility with Consento. If after mixing a sediment appears at the bottom of the container or the mixture is heated, the substances cannot be combined.
To prevent resistance, the fungicide can be alternated with drugs of different chemical groups, for example, Infinito.
Consento can be replaced with Previkur Energy, Infinito, Quadris and Acrobat. They have similar effects and properties.
Safety regulations
Fungicide Consento belongs to the third hazard class (compound with low toxicity) for humans and mammals. Despite this, while working with the substance, you must adhere to the standard safety measures:
- wear tight clothing, gloves and a mask;
- do not eat, drink or smoke;
- after processing the beds, wash your hands and face with soap;
- dispose of the fungicide packaging.
The drug has a second hazard class in terms of resistance to soil. Therefore, thoughtless use of the fungicide will lead to soil contamination.
Any spraying must be carried out without exceeding the indicated dosage, otherwise the result may be the opposite.

Conclusion
Fungicide Consento is a new and promising drug that effectively fights against many fungal diseases of vegetable crops. Unlike other similar products, it has an additional property - it promotes the growth and development of the plant. It is better to use a fungicide at the slightest threat of infection of a vegetable crop with a fungus, since it will be more difficult to cure the disease later.
This is the first remedy that effectively helped to protect potato tubers from being damaged by late blight during storage. Initially I decided to use the remedy for preventive purposes, but in the end it turned out to be such a gorgeous effect. This year I want to check how this drug will show itself when processing tomatoes in a greenhouse. Glad to have discovered this remedy.
Thanks to this article and Consento, I was able to save this year's harvest. Until last year, everything was fine, but last year, at the beginning of August, cucumbers began to wither, then tomatoes and eggplants began to blacken. Every day there were more and more black spots. As a result, I harvested 3 times less fruit than usual. This year I hoped that it would, but in July I saw that there were spots on the tomatoes. She frantically began to look for the reason. It turned out to be a disease, rather late blight. Consento KS chose as the safest drug, since I still feed my children and grandchildren with vegetables. This year I processed it, neither tomatoes nor cucumbers got sick. The harvest was excellent.
We have very strong cucumbers and tomatoes suffer from powdery mildew, the so-called. at the same time, everything is fine with zucchini and onions.And this is somehow annoying, perhaps)) I am not a supporter of disinfectants, fertilizers. But last year we were practically without tomatoes. Half a bucket was ripe by force. The whole crop turned black. This year, they decided to process it anyway, they took what the seller in the store advised - Consento. We did everything as it is written in the instructions and, it seems. working. It is now the middle of August, and the whole plants are already ripening on the bushes, although the weather is not favorable. I will continue to observe until there are even a lot of flowers.
Can Consento be used in greenhouses?
Everywhere we are talking about open ground.
Good day!
Consento is a relatively new fungicide, so there are currently no reviews of its use in greenhouse conditions. Given that the Consento fungicide is designed exclusively for outdoor use, greenhouse conditions may require specialist assistance. This is due to the fact that when used in a greenhouse, it is necessary to reduce the concentration of the solution. Only a specialist in this field can calculate the exact dosage. The manufacturer strongly advises to adhere to the instructions for this drug. If you change the concentration, there is a possibility that the effect of the drug will be reduced.
We advise you either to contact the manufacturer directly with this question, perhaps he will tell you the exact dosage for using Consento in greenhouse conditions. Or treat a small area of planting to evaluate the effect of the fungicide.
We wish you high yields!
Since the end of August, our tomatoes begin to turn black, if we do not process them, we really do not have time to harvest (((Once the mother-in-law bought some kind of poison, so we could not eat tomatoes, they became with a nasty taste. Last year, a neighbor advised Consento. A huge plus, that within a day after processing you can eat vegetables. Excellent remedy, finally we had a good harvest of tomatoes!
