Instructions for the use of the fungicide Folicur, composition and consumption rate

Folicur is a systemic fungicide that is used to protect crops, grapes, rapeseed from the main types of fungal diseases.

Spraying of crops is carried out in dry, calm weather.

Release form, composition and purpose of the fungicide

Fungicide Folicur is a systemic chemical from the German company Bayer. It is produced in the form of an emulsion concentrate (oil in water), which is poured into 5 liter canisters. It is used to protect grains, grapes and rapeseed from various fungal diseases.

The active substance is tebuconazole, which belongs to the class of triazoles. The drug is active against septoria, rust, powdery mildew, powdery mildew, rot, spotting, mold, fusarium, phomosis. It can be used to improve the growth and germination of rapeseed.

The fungicide is diluted with water in the proportion specified in the instructions and used to spray crops during the growing season.

The mechanism of action of the drug

The fungicidal agent is absorbed by the vegetative organs of the plant for several hours and is evenly distributed over all organs and tissues. The active substance, tebuconazole, inhibits an enzyme that affects the biosynthesis of sterols, as a result of which the integrity of fungal cells is disrupted. Fungicide slows down the growth and development of the pathogen, and ultimately leads to the death of the fungus.
