Composition, release form and purpose of the fungicide Proton

Two-component fungicidal agent protects and treats plants from scab, rust, powdery mildew, mildew, powdery mildew, septoria, soot fungi, burns, leaf spots. The active substance is kresoxim-methyl and epoxiconazole.

The mechanism of action of the drug

The drug consists of two active substances, each of which acts on a fungal infection. The fungicide penetrates into plants through the leaves and root system, spreads through the organs and protects the culture from fungi. Kresoxim-methyl suppresses cellular mitochondrial respiration of pathogens. Suspends the development of fungi, prevents sporulation.

The substance is most effective at the initial stage of disease development. It promotes the eradication of the pathogen and has a long-term protective effect. The second active ingredient, epoxiconazole, inhibits enzymes during sterol biosynthesis. It has a high protective and healing effect.

Impact rate, period of protective action

Most of the active substances are absorbed by the plant within 1-2 hours. The fungicide takes effect immediately. The drug eradicates the pathogen and remains in the organs of the plant for 4-5 weeks. The action of the active substances is unaffected by cold and humid weather.
