Composition, purpose and form of release of the fungicide "Rex"
The product consists of 2 active ingredients: epoxiconazole (18.7%) and thiophanate methyl (31%). The first of a series of triazoles, systemic pesticides that block the structure of the cell membrane of a pathogenic fungus, prevent cell formation and provoke the death of the parasitic organism. Even in wet and cold weather, the component retains its capabilities.
The second, thiophanate-methyl, belongs to the class of benzimidazoles, systemic contact pesticides, which are characterized by a wider spectrum of action. A protective pesticide stops the process of division of fungal cells, interfering with reproduction and development, suppressing all basic life processes.
Rex Duo is of greatest value for winter wheat. After processing, complete destruction of powdery mildew, rust, septoria is observed.
The fungicide is available in 1 liter or 10 liter plastic cans and is a suspension concentrate.
Varieties
As a result of long experiments, the developers have offered farmers a new remedy with enhanced action - "Rex Plus". The concentration of active ingredients in its composition is higher compared to "Rex Duo". The new fungicide consists of epoxiconazole at a concentration of 84%, the rest of the volume is occupied by fenpropimorph. The components quickly penetrate the tissues of the pathogen and destroy it.
The mechanism of action of drugs
The action of the fungicide "Rex Duo" is aimed at the complete destruction of all fungal pathogens. The division and reproduction of cells is suspended, the vital activity of the fungus is significantly impaired due to the slowdown of all important metabolic processes.
Thanks to this mechanism of action, the agent is effective, the risk of resistance is reduced due to the broad spectrum of action of the drug.
Advantages and disadvantages of the tool
Fungicide "Rex Duo" is very popular because it has proven itself among farmers and has distinguished itself with a number of advantages:
- rapid penetration of pathogens into tissues and the onset of action in the first seconds;
- a high level of plant protection against re-disease;
- tolerance of low temperature conditions and high levels of humidity;
- the possibility of using in combination with other means, most optimally with vitamin and mineral mixtures;
- positively affects the life cycle of plants, increasing the number of ovaries and accelerating ripening;
- complete safety for reservoirs and water bodies;
- convenient packaging.
In addition to the large number of advantages, the disadvantages of the drug should also be highlighted. Many are confused by the high price. Not everyone can buy such an expensive fungicide. Also, the drug is toxic to humans, therefore, when processing crops, use protective clothing and do not spend much time on the etched area for 3 days.
Preparation of working solution
Start preparing the working solution immediately before use. Fill the sprayer 2/3 with water and slowly inject the required amount of the product, depending on the crop being treated.
Instructions for use
For cereals, one treatment per season is enough for the purpose of prevention. But if the need arises, carry out the procedure again with a frequency of 2 weeks, taking into account the degree of damage and the phase of plant development.
Fungicide consumption rate
The consumption rate of the drug depends on the species of the agricultural crop. The type of the pathogen itself does not play a role, so it should not be taken into account.
The processing of cereals takes 300 ml of the substance per 1 ha. When processing rapeseed, the amount doubles.
Safety precautions when working with the tool
Fungicide does not harm bees and water bodies, but a person should follow safety rules. It is important to protect the respiratory tract, mucous membranes and skin from the effects of the chemical. Otherwise, it is worth using an adsorbent and thoroughly wash the affected area.
Is it compatible with other drugs
Fungicide is combined with vitamin and mineral complexes. Before mixing with other products, check the compatibility by reading the instructions.
Storage of the fungicide
The shelf life of the drug is 3 years in dry, dark places away from medicines, food, children and animals.
