Description, release form and action of the drug
"Delan" refers to contact fungicides used as a prophylactic agent. The main active ingredient of the drug is dithianon. Available in 5 kg bags. Fungicide is a water-soluble granule. After the procedure, "Delan" remains on the plants in the form of a rather dense layer, which is resistant to prolonged precipitation. Once sprayed on plants, the chemical actively destroys fungal spores.
In what cases does it apply
The tool is used to combat such diseases of fruit crops as:
- scab;
- downy mildew;
- fruit rot;
- clasterosporium disease;
- various varieties of leaf spot.
It can be used to treat all fruit and berry crops. You can use the solution only on the day of its preparation. Even if there is a lot of diluted substance left, it is no longer suitable for further processing after a while.
Advantages and disadvantages of a fungicide
The advantages of using are:
- The chemical has a protective effect lasting up to 1 month.

It is also worth noting that the chemical is used more often as a preventive measure when there are no signs of disease yet. It does not have a systemic effect on plants, therefore it is recommended to use it in conjunction with other fungicides.
Preparation of working solution
Before using an agent against fungal diseases, be sure to study the instructions for use. Re-processing is carried out 2 weeks after the first, provided that it did not rain all this time.
Apple tree

Peach
For the treatment of peaches against scab, leaf curl and clasterosporium disease, 10 g of powder should be diluted in 10 liters of water. During the season, 3 treatments are carried out with breaks of 14 days. The first time the trees are treated after the end of the flowering period.
Grapes
First, a working fluid is prepared. In 10 liters of heated water, 15 g of granules are diluted. Preventive spraying is carried out before the onset of symptoms of diseases. During the growing season, 5 sprays are carried out. Breaks between procedures are 8-10 days.
How to use the drug "Delan"
Treatment is recommended to be carried out exclusively in the evening, when the sun's rays have disappeared. Spraying in sunny weather can cause burns on foliage.

Although the protective film is dense, it is gradually washed off with prolonged precipitation.
