Pervikur, Infinito, Allette, Hom and Bordeaux liquid - fungicides for cucumbers

To combat fungal diseases of cucumbers, chemical agents are used that can prevent infection of plants. The drug Aliett, produced by the German company Bauer, belongs to the universal fungicides of protective and therapeutic action.

On the market of modern pesticides there are many preparations of such a multidisciplinary purpose. They can be used to treat the aboveground part of plants, disinfect soil and seeds, for preventive purposes. The systemic method of action of fungicides allows you to protect and treat plants in an open field or greenhouse, regardless of weather conditions.

Important! The benefit of protective fungicides is direct economic benefit.

Often, gardeners do not have the opportunity to regularly inspect cucumbers in a greenhouse or greenhouse. Clear signs of the invasion of the fungus become apparent when a difficult-to-recognize disease has successfully invaded the cucumber bush. Its presence poses a threat of infection to other plants. In this case, much more resources will be required to protect the cucumbers and save the harvest. Poorly prepared seeds, soil, greenhouse frame can be a source of infection.

There are many reasons, therefore the use of fungicides is often an ordinary agricultural technique for the care of cucumbers. Let's consider some of the drugs without bias, because pesticides have long been the norm for agricultural enterprises and farms.

Cucumber disease control agents

Cucumbers are most often grown in greenhouses, where stable colonies of fungi form in a confined space. Fungicides with which plants are treated without waiting for obvious signs of disease help protect plants. In a home greenhouse, this is done quite simply. Several times during the growing season, it is enough to sprinkle the leaves or water the bushes at the root.

• Bordeaux liquid is considered the first fungicide that began to be used to protect agricultural plants. A mixture of copper sulfate with lime water successfully resists most fungal diseases. Copper acts as a poisonous substance, and lime neutralizes the effect of acid on the plant. As a result, Bordeaux mixture is successfully used as a prophylactic agent against pathogens of pathogenic microflora. Cucumbers are treated with 1% Bordeaux mixture at the stage of 2-3 true leaves, followed by repeating the treatments after half a month. The last procedure during the fruiting period should be carried out no later than a week before harvesting.
• Hom - copper oxychloride, a fungicide that has become a substitute for Bordeaux liquid. Unlike her, "Hom" is easy to prepare.The finished powder is diluted with plain water and used for spraying plants. The drug does not adhere well to the surface and is easily washed off by rain. Cucumber is a greenhouse crop, so the fungicide is excellent for cultivating it in greenhouses. The question is logical whether it is possible to process cucumbers in the open field with the preparation. Of course, only in dry, calm weather. Hom contact fungicide, it acts on the surface of the plant without penetrating into its cellular structure and combines well with other pesticides. Plants are sprayed with homom during the growing season, with an interval of 10-15 days. All this time, the fungicide continues its action, subject to the rules of agricultural technology. Plants should be disinfected 20-30 days before the harvest.
• Sumileks is a chemical preparation of protective and curative contact action. Accumulating in the young parts of the plant, it inhibits the development of mycelium and the germination of fungi of white and gray rot. It is produced in the form of a wetting powder, which is combined with chalk or lime during manufacture. The resulting mixture is coated with the affected areas of the stems of cucumbers growing in protected ground.

• Fundazole is used for seed dressing, as a prophylactic and therapeutic agent for the plants themselves. Demonstrates the therapeutic effect of Fundazol only the first three days from the moment of treatment. More, within two weeks, the drug Fundazol demonstrates its protective abilities. As it decomposes, the active substance moves inside the plant from the root to the top. In addition to the fungicidal effect, Fundazol resists most pests, the list of which includes the larvae of aphids, leaf beetles and spider mites. Fundazole is used as a solution. Seeds are treated with it, roots are shed, stems and leaf axils are sprayed. Preparation and use of the drug should be carried out strictly according to the instructions. This fungicide belongs to the third category according to the degree of danger.
• Strobi fungicide is a very strong medicinal and protective agent. Effectively stops mycelium growth and fungal sporulation. The plant is sprayed with a working solution every two weeks. The last time you can spray cucumbers is a month before harvest. The result of processing appears in a couple of hours. The drug, unlike other fungicides, can be used at low temperatures up to +1 degrees, on wet foliage and during flowering. It treats a variety of cucumber ailments, including peronosporosis.
• Topaz is a remedy against a variety of fungal diseases. It can be used as a prophylactic and therapeutic agent. Topaz has a high impact rate. In just 3 hours, the growth of the mushroom mycelium stops. Topaz continues to protect plants for 14-18 hours. Preventive treatments are carried out at the beginning of the growing season every 10-15 days. Topaz has a low consumption rate, is quickly absorbed, and goes well in mixtures with other pesticides. Topaz is suitable for preventive and therapeutic treatments of cucumbers in unprotected ground, is well tolerated by plants, and is not toxic to birds and insects.
• Quadris is a prophylactic and health-improving drug, a highly effective fungicide used to treat diseased plants. Quadris can be used in protected and open ground, in joint treatments with other pesticides. It is not recommended to use herbicides with it. When processing, it is necessary to monitor the complete coverage of the sheet surface with the working mixture. Quadris is used during the growing season, before flowering, at intervals of 10-15 days. The eradicating effect of Quadris begins within a few hours, and the preventive effect lasts up to three weeks.It is not recommended to use Quadris in personal subsidiary plots.
