Many gardeners use tank mixtures - a cocktail of fungicides and insecticides, to simultaneously treat the garden, both from diseases and pests, and not to do it separately, which will take even longer. Sometimes the action of the first substances can be effectively supplemented by immunomodulators. For example, in horticulture, a mixture of "Zircon" and the fungicide "Boxwood" is often used. Let's take a closer look at this fungicide.
Composition and principle of action
The chemical composition of this drug includes substances that act simultaneously. Kresoxim-methyl suppresses mitochondrial cell respiration and prevents spores and appressoria from growing. Moreover, the substance has an antispore-forming effect. Difenoconazole stops biochemical processes in fungal organisms, as a result of which their growth and development stop.
Appointment
It is used in the treatment of apple trees, grapes, peaches, tomatoes and potatoes from various fungi - powdery mildew, scab, curly leaves, late blight, macrosporiosis and others, to which these crops are most often susceptible.
The drug penetrates into plant tissues immediately and spreads throughout the culture vascular system. As a result, not only the leaves and shoots that have been exposed to the drug are protected, but also all other parts of the plant. The chemicals are distributed throughout the plant, blocking and removing disease. In addition, the ovary increases, the quality characteristics of the final product improve.
