Fungicide Triactive

Grain dressing allows you to protect the future crop from diseases and pests. Fungicides are considered the best in terms of fighting fungi. Modern drugs are low-toxic and do not pose a particular danger to humans and the environment. One of the effective means is Triaktiv fungicide, consisting of three active components.

Composition

Triactiv is the latest means of combating fungal diseases of grain crops. The drug consists of three active ingredients:

• azoxystrobin – 100g/l;
• cyproconazole – 40 g/l;
• tebuconazole – 120 g / l.

Each constituent is an active fungicide.

Action 

Considering the instructions for use about Triactiv fungicide, it is worth paying attention to the action of each active substance:

• Azoxystrobin is a means of contact, as well as translaminar action. The active ingredient protects and treats crops from fungus. The fungicide inhibits the growth of the mycelium and the awakening of spores. The active ingredient has a systemic effect. After spraying crops, the fungicide is able to redirect to neighboring plants in contact with foliage.
• Tebuconazole and cyproconazole similarly have a systemic effect. Immediately after spraying, the substances are absorbed and distributed throughout the plant. The components destroy the cells of the fungus, do not allow them to develop, which leads to the complete destruction of the fungal organism.

Thanks to the successful combination of three components, Triactiv cures a whole range of diseases of cereal crops, and also has a protective preventive effect.

The positive qualities of the fungicide

The usefulness of Triactiva is confirmed by five advantages:

• A successful combination of three active ingredients with different actions.
• Triactiv effectively protects and cures foliage, stems, ears from fungal diseases.
• The fungicide has a long duration of action. Active protection prevents re-infection of crops, preserves the integrity of the foliage.
• Thanks to azoxystrobin, grain crops develop resistance to stressful conditions.
• Triaktiv ensures grain harvest even in bad weather conditions.

The disadvantages of the fungicide have not yet been identified.

The Importance of Chemical Grain Treatment

Chemical treatment of grain allows you to create an integrated protection. Not only seed material is affected. Protection extends to sprouts, root system, leaves, stems and mature ear. Harmful microorganisms are destroyed by fungicide at different phases of development.

The causative agents of fungal diseases are not only found on grains or growing crops. Microorganisms perfectly take root in the soil, hibernate, and wake up in the spring and begin to spread through fresh crops. Winter and spring flies, aphids carrying pathogens of barley yellow dwarf disease are of great danger.

A systemic fungicide used in a grain dressing protects crops early on from wind-borne fungus. Farmers do not need to spray plantations early against powdery mildew.

Methods for chemical treatment of grain

Chemical dressing of grain is carried out using machines or special devices. Each treatment method uses its own form of the drug. There are four main methods of grain dressing:

• The simplest way to treat grain is dry processing. The process takes place in a specialized machine. The disadvantage of this method is the uneven coating of all grains with a chemical preparation. The active substance is poorly retained on the shell of the dry seed. During pickling, strong dust is formed.
• The semi-dry method of dressing provides for a slight wetting of the grain. For 1 ton of dry seeds spray no more than 10 liters of water. From such an amount of liquid, the moisture content of the grain remains unchanged, which eliminates the need for additional drying. The processing takes place in a specialized machine. The chemical preparation is dissolved in water, with which the grains are sprayed.
• The wet dressing method is based on the strong wetting of the grain. The seed material is sprayed, watered or completely soaked in water with a dissolved chemical preparation. At the end of the pickling, the grains are subjected to additional drying to the optimum moisture content.
• Good performance is given by the treatment of grain before sowing with a fungicide and a polymeric substance. The process is called hydrophobization. After processing, a thin, but very strong film is formed on the surface of the grain. The fungicide is securely held on the seed coat under the polymer. The method allows to ensure good activity of the fungicide, increases the germination process and yield. Grains after hydrophobization more easily tolerate low soil temperatures.

Of all the methods of dressing, hydrophobization makes it possible to more effectively protect grain from diseases and negative natural factors.

The process of treating grain with a fungicide

All grain crops, especially winter crops, require dressing before planting. Farmers who want to save money are trying to limit themselves to only autumn fungicide treatment. Unjustified savings lead to a large loss of yield. Expenses increase because the money invested does not bring profit.

Conventionally, the entire etching process can be divided into five steps:

1. Grain material is sent for phyto-examination. In the laboratory, pathogens are determined. Based on the data obtained, a chemical preparation is selected.
2. Before dressing, the grain material goes through a preparation stage. Select the seed of the middle fraction. Eliminate impurities of dust, weed grains, as well as damaged seeds. Etching without a selection process is irrational. About 20% of the fungicide is used for other purposes, as the drug is spent on unnecessary impurities.
3. According to the result of the examination, a disinfectant is selected that belongs to the desired chemical group. Additionally, not only the name of the drug is taken into account. It is important to choose the right fungicide according to the mechanism of action. Preparations of contact action form a protective shell around the grain, but do not penetrate into the tissues themselves. Systemic fungicides act from the inside, penetrating the seed, and also disinfect the soil around the grain. Complex preparations perform the functions of contact and systemic fungicides. As an example, we can take the disease of loose smut, where only systemic drugs can cope. And a simple contact fungicide will save you from hard smut. Against the rot of the root system and the appearance of mold on the seed material, agents that contain triazole are effective. Considering that the grain crop can become infected with any disease, Triaktiv is considered effective for processing.
4. The fourth step can be called the most responsible. At this stage, the formulation of the fungicide is selected. The quality of dressing depends on the intensity of adhesion of the agent to the shell of the seed material. Powdered fungicides, even when wetted, do not adhere well to the seed. It is better to use concentrated suspensions. And in this regard, Triaktiv wins.
5. The last steps are related to setting up the machine. The mechanisms are adjusted so that the seed material is fed evenly and treated with a working solution. Achieve uniform mixing of grain during pickling. The supply of the working solution is adjusted so that the deviation from the norm does not exceed 5%. In this case, the completeness of seed dressing should be more than 80%.

Violation of seed dressing technology threatens with yield loss in the range of 20–80%. Approximate consumption of Triaktiv fungicide per 1 ton of winter wheat is 0,2–0,3 l.

The drug in the treatment of crops proved to be an effective fungicide that allows you to protect crops from powdery mildew, fusarium and black spike, rust, and other types of diseases. The consumption of concentrated Triaktiv for spraying an area of ​​1 ha is from 0,6 to 1 liter.
