Gardeners reviews

Evgeniy, 36 years old, Rostov-on-Don
Fungicide Skor is an effective remedy against fungal diseases. I use it to treat fruit trees immediately after flowering. I try to alternate different means so that pathogens do not have time to adapt to them. Several years ago, the pear suffered from scab. Every year I spray the trees with Skor, there were no more warning signs. Before starting work, I put on a long-sleeved shirt, plastic glasses and a hat.

Valentina, 58 years old, Krasnodar city
For several years now I have been using the Skor preparation for treating my garden. With his help, she freed apple trees from scab, rose from powdery mildew. When signs of illness appear, I prepare a spray solution. The solution has a strong odor, so it is best to use a respirator. After treatment, the disease recedes, and the plants begin to actively develop. In the spring, I process trees until the buds bloom. In addition, I spray in the fall before leaf fall.

Love, 40 years old, Kursk
Fungicide Scor is one of the best antifungal agents. For 10 liters of water, 2 ml of suspension is enough. Its disadvantages are toxicity and a waiting time of up to 30 days. The product protects peaches and nectarines from leaf curl. To do this, I spray the planting before flowering. I process apples and pears when ovaries appear. In the future, I turn to biological agents. According to the instructions for use and reviews, the fungicide Skor requires additional protection. Be sure to use a respirator that protects the eyes and respiratory system.

Conclusion

The drug Skor is an effective remedy that relieves plants from fungal diseases. It is used to treat trees, shrubs, vegetables, garden and indoor flowers. For spraying, a solution is prepared containing a certain concentration of the fungicide. When interacting with a chemical, observe safety precautions.
