Kurzat fungicide

Growing vegetable and berry crops is a favorite pastime of summer residents and gardeners. But in order to grow a healthy plant, it is important to provide it with regular care and protection from various diseases and pests. For this, fungicides are used that effectively protect the culture from pathogenic microorganisms and fight fungal diseases.

One of these is Kurzat. Consider its characteristic features and instructions for using the fungicide.

Characteristics

Kurzat is a highly effective contact fungicide that is designed to protect, prevent and treat many crops from fungal diseases. The tool has a fast action and long-term effect, which distinguishes it from other similar drugs.

The fungicide is effective in combating the following diseases:

• mildew;
• late blight;
• dry spotting;
• peronosporosis.

Kurzat has little effect on pathogens that cause root diseases.

The drug is available in the form of a blue-green soluble powder. It is packaged in paper bags of 1 and 5 kg and in small bags of 15 g. About 400-600 liters of working solution, or 2-3 kilogram packages of powder, will be needed per hectare.

The domestic analogue of Kurzat is the fungicide Ordan.

Mechanism of action

Kurzat is a modern new generation fungicide, which consists of two active ingredients:

• Copper oxychloride – 690 g / kg. Creates a protective film on the surface of the plant and protects it from parasitic fungi.
• Cymoxanil – 42 g / kg. Penetrates into leaves and stems, rapidly spreads through all plant tissues and has a detrimental effect on pathogens.

The multidirectional effect of the active components of Kurzat reduces the likelihood of pathogenic fungi becoming accustomed to the fungicide, which makes it possible to use it for several years.

The biologically active substance needs from 1 to 6 hours in order to provide the plant with protection and stop the increase in the number of infected cells. The disease begins to recede, and after 1-2 days there is a complete cure. Therefore, many gardeners and gardeners prefer the Kurzat fungicide.

Advantages

Fungicide Kurzat has a number of positive aspects:

• Provides plants with double protection – internal and external;
• The drug can be used for several years, as it is not addictive in pathogenic fungi.
• High efficiency of preventive treatments and the effectiveness of the substance in the first days of infection.
• Fast impact, changes are noticeable 1-2 days after treatment.
• It is able to reliably protect the plant from pathogenic fungi for up to 30 days, even after rain.
• Safe for animals, humans and plants.
• Improves crop quality.

Kurzat combines many advantages and high efficiency at an affordable price.

Disadvantages

Negative sides of the fungicide:

• In comparison with similar drugs, Kurzat has a higher consumption.
• Paper packaging is inconvenient for storage, when opening the powder, you can accidentally spill it, so you need to be careful.
• In the rainy season, an increase in the number of treatments is required.

The advantages compensate for the disadvantages, so they can be called insignificant.

Preparation of the solution

Before spraying, it is necessary to clean and prepare the tanks, hoses, spray gun. Depending on the type of crop and the size of the cultivated area, it is necessary to determine the required amount of fungicide.

The working fluid of Kurzat should be prepared immediately before use. The powder is dissolved in a small volume of water, and then topped up to the desired amount. During spraying, the fungicide solution is periodically stirred.

The number of treatments may vary depending on the clinical picture of the disease. Experts recommend no more than four sprayings per season. Under stable weather conditions without precipitation, preventive treatments should be carried out at intervals of 11-13 days. In rainy weather, the interval between spraying should be reduced to 8-9 days.

Fungicide Kurzat is diluted according to the attached instructions for use. Depending on the type of culture, from 30 to 60 g of the substance per 10 liters is used to prepare the working fluid.

Grapes

Downy mildew or mildew can infect the vine in early spring. Yellow spots form on the leaves, and under them a white fluffy coating. Berries and flowers shrivel.

To prevent and treat the disease at an early stage, a solution is prepared based on 10 liters of water 30 g of Kurzat powder. It is thoroughly stirred until the fungicide dissolves. In one season, the event can be held no more than 4 times with an interval of 10 days. Do not spray a month before harvesting.

Tomatoes

Tomatoes from year to year are covered by late blight, which in a few days can destroy the entire crop. Fruits, leaves and stems are covered with dark spots that rapidly spread throughout the plant.

To prevent the occurrence of this disease, the plant must be sprayed with a solution of the drug Kurzat according to the instructions for use. To do this, 10 g of the fungicide is thoroughly mixed in 50 liters of water. Preventive treatment should be carried out twice a season. After 10-11 days, the process is repeated. Consumption – 50 ml per 1 m². From the day of the last spraying to the collection of tomatoes, at least 12 days must pass.

Potatoes

Potatoes can also experience late blight, which affects both green mass and tubers. Brown spots spread over the plant and the tissue dies.

One of the methods for preventing the disease is treatment with the fungicide Kurzat. To do this, 50 g of the substance is dissolved in 10 liters of water. The resulting liquid is sprayed with a potato bush up to 3 times per season with a break of 11 days. Consumption for open ground 100 ml/m², for closed -160-200 ml/m². Dig potatoes should be no earlier than 12 days after the last spraying.

cucumbers

Cucumbers are vulnerable to peronosporosis, which ruthlessly destroys green foliage, the process of fruit formation and their development is delayed. The disease can lead to the death of the plant.

Timely prevention with the use of a fungicide will save plantings. According to the attached instructions for use, 30 g of Kurzat R powder must be diluted in 10 liters of water. Spray the cucumbers with the prepared solution three times with an interval of 10 days. Two weeks after the last treatment, fruits can be harvested.

Bow

Onions are also susceptible to downy mildew, which can affect them at any stage of development. The aerial part of the plant is covered with a purple coating, then rusty spots appear and the feathers begin to rot.

If a disease is detected, the plant must be sprayed with Kurzat fungicide according to the instructions. To do this, 60 g of dry matter should be dissolved in 10 liters of warm water. The procedure is recommended to be carried out every 10 days no more than 4 times for the entire season. You can start harvesting vegetables no earlier than 15 days after the last treatment.

Compatibility with other drugs

For greater efficiency, Kurzat can be used in combination with other means. But before that, you should check them for compatibility.

To check the compatibility of substances, they must be mixed and poured with water. If a precipitate has fallen out, the drugs are incompatible.
