Garden crops need protection from fungal diseases, the pathogens of which take on new forms over time. The highly effective fungicide Infinito is distributed on the domestic market. The drug is produced by the well-known German company “Bayer” (“Bayer Garden”) and managed to gain recognition among farmers.
Composition
Fungicide Infinito 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
Known systemic fungicide very quickly penetrates all surfaces of the plant on the ascending and descending vectors. Even those parts of the leaves and stems that did not fall during the spraying with Infinito fall under the influence of a strongly moisturizing substance. The tool retains its fungal-damaging activity for a long period. This characteristic feature contributes to the fact that shoots and leaves formed after processing are under protection. Propamocarb hydrochloride also acts as a growth stimulant when using the Infinito fungicide: it can enhance the development of the plant.
Fluopicolide
The substance of the new chemical class fluopikolid, when spraying plants with the fungicide Infinito, instantly has its effect on fungi and suppresses their further vital activity. The active substance penetrates into plant tissues through intercellular spaces, thus protecting the treated crops from further infection with spores of pathogenic fungi. On the surface of the leaves and stems of an infected plant, all pathogens die at any stage of their development.
The mechanism of action of the fungicide fluopicolide consists in the destruction of the walls and skeleton of the cells of the bodies of 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. The smallest particles of the fungicide fluopikolid, after the droplets have dried, 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 strong streams of rain.
Characteristics of the preparation
Infinito is distributed as a concentrated suspension. An effective dual-purpose fungicide that protects vegetables from late blight and peronosporosis, not only has a preventive effect, but is also applied to infected plants. Infinito acts quite 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.
- Potatoes and tomatoes are treated with the drug to protect against late blight;
- Spray cucumbers and cabbage in the fight against peronosporosis, or downy mildew;
- The substance propamocarb hydrochloride in the composition of the fungicide Infinito also contributes to the rapid 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.
Fitoftoroz
This fungal infection appears on potatoes and tomatoes. The development of the disease is facilitated by sharp changes in night and day temperatures, a long period of rainy and cloudy weather, as a result of which increased air humidity is observed.
Signs of damage to tomatoes
From the beginning of infection, small brown spots of a blurry shape appear on the leaves of tomatoes. Then similar spots form on green or red tomato fruits. The crop deteriorates, the tomato bush is affected, dries and dies. The development of the disease is quite rapid: a large plantation of tomatoes may die in a week.
Phytophthalosis of potatoes
On potato beds, late blight usually manifests itself during flowering: irregularly shaped brown spots cover the lower leaves of the 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 ground, in the rain, affecting the tubers. The disease develops in the range of 3-16 days, the rate of damage depends on the air temperature.
Peronosporoz
The disease on the field is more often observed starting from July. In greenhouses, spores have been active since spring or even winter.
Symptoms of cucumber disease
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 the leaves of cucumbers, which also determines the rapid development of infectious agents. Under favorable conditions, the entire plant, like the site, is affected in three days: the leaves are spotty, then dry quickly.
Downy mildew of cabbage
In greenhouses with cabbage seedlings, the infection begins as spots on the upper side of the leaf. At high humidity, spores penetrate the petiole. Symptoms of infection 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 intercellular spaces, the use of a new class of chemical agent – Infinito fungicide – can block the vital activity of pathogens. The active ingredients of the fungicide penetrate the plant tissues in the same way and destroy the fungi.
According to European scientists, a new form of late blight with A2 type of compatibility has appeared. Moreover, the emergence of the next, newest form is observed, due to the crossing of old pathogens, with A1 type of compatibility, with new ones. Pathogens are very aggressive, multiply rapidly, infect plants at an early stage. Also, tubers are affected to a greater extent. Fungicide Infinito 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.
Product Benefits
The fungicide does an excellent job of resisting the spread of the disease on plants.
- A guarantee of crop protection – 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 become addicted to Infinito fungicide.
Application
Fungicide should be used in accordance with the instructions.
Potatoes
The culture is treated 2-3 times, starting from the time of flowering.
- Rate of fungicide consumption: from 1,2 l to 1,6 l per hectare, or 15 ml per hectare;
- The interval between sprayings 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 during the growing season.
- Dissolve 15 ml of the drug in 5 liters of water;
- The interval before the collection of products is 10 days.
Cabbage
During the growing season, the cabbage is sprayed with Infinito fungicide 2 times, including treatment in the greenhouse.
- Take 15 ml of fungicide in 5 liters of water. The solution is enough for a hundred;
- The last processing – 40 days before the collection of heads.
The drug is effective and will help grow a rich and high-quality crop.
