Safety precautions when working with fungicides
During the treatment with fungicides, you can not use food utensils, smoke, drink and eat. The treatment is carried out in the absence of children, animals, and if there is an aquarium nearby, then it is tightly closed and opened only when the treated plants are dry. In case of mass disease, all contact surfaces (window glass, frames, window sills, tiles, etc.) can be treated if possible.
For those who suffer from allergies or skin eczema, the treatment is best done with gloves and a gauze bandage. Do not forget to look at the hazard class of the drug used. After finishing work, hands, face and all equipment used should also be washed with soap and water. Store fungicides in a dry place, out of the reach of children and animals, keep away from fire.
In case of accidental ingestion of the fungicide into the human body, drink several glasses of water, induce vomiting and immediately consult a doctor.
Fungi are a serious problem, they contribute to the development of various diseases that affect flowers, garden plants, vegetables and berries, soil. In order to protect vegetables and fruits from diseases, as well as to prevent re-infection, gardeners use biological fungicides for plants. Below we give a list of such drugs with names and descriptions.
Fungicides are called chemicals. With their help, they fight pathogens that are the causative agents of various fungal diseases in crops. This is powdery mildew, phytophthora, gray rot, peronosporosis, fusarium and others. If used correctly, fungicides will actively kill the fungus without harming the crops.
Depending on their chemical properties, fungicides are divided into two types:
The advantages of organic fungicides are that they are non-toxic, they can be combined with various pesticides, but chemical preparations are compatible with very few substances.
Inorganic fungicides
For the most highly effective control of various pests, gardeners and gardeners often change drugs and buy new ones. Particular attention is paid to such drugs that, at small doses, can give the maximum effect. But you shouldn't experiment like that.
It is better to buy well-known, proven drugs that have already been used and have proven themselves well. It is best to process the plants before they start flowering and after the harvest.
Organic preparations
There are many different contact medications on the market. They are prepared differently than inorganic fungicides. In organic preparations, the main component is active bacteria, which during application are able to inhibit pathogens of fungal diseases of crops.
It is preferable to use biological fungicides in the country and garden, because they are non-toxic, do not harm humans, plants, bees, animals, fish, and are highly effective. Preparations can be used during the growing season. Now such preparations are produced that can be used during fruit ripening and harvesting.

Results
Fungicides are the most highly effective and common means for combating various fungi and diseases of crops. When choosing a drug, you should consider that it is as effective as possible. It is important that the product does as little harm to the plants as possible. Therefore, low-toxic fungicides are preferred. Before using fungicides, it is necessary to read the instructions and prepare the solution, strictly observing the dosages indicated in them.
Every growing season, gardeners and growers fight for the harvest. Complicating their task is the fact that plants suffer from various diseases and pests. People use against themfungicides for plants, drug listThis group is extensive and constantly updated. How to understand such a variety of chemicals? Are they really universal and help solve all problems?
Classification
Consider the most popularfungicides - drug listand their characteristics, but first you need to know their classification. This will facilitate the selection and subsequent purchase of a suitable product.
Depending on the chemical properties
According to their chemical nature, fungicides are divided into:
- to inorganic;
- organic.
The group of inorganic preparations includes:
- copper-containing - Bordeaux liquid, Burgundy liquid, oxychloride and copper oxide;
- sulfur-containing preparations - colloidal sulfur, lime-sulfur decoction;
- mercury compounds.
Organic fungicides for plants refer to different chemical compounds. The leading role is occupied by heterocyclic compounds, these are various nitrogen-containing derivatives. Many organic preparations are effective against pathogenic microorganisms.
Depending on the effect on the pathogen
On this basis, drugs are divided:
- on protective (preventive);
- medical.
Protective fungicides prevent infection of crops with phytopathogens that have a negative impact on the root system and metabolism.
Phytopathogens are various pathogens. They secrete biologically active substances, which, in turn, adversely affect the development of plants.
Curing fungicides are drugs that strike at phytopathogens that have already invaded plant tissues. Curing contact fungicides cannot penetrate into the tissue and have a local effect. They are divided into preparations of selective and continuous action. The former suppress the reproductive and vegetative organs of the fungus, and the means of continuous action also suppress its resting forms. Therapeutic systemic preparations penetrate into plants, spread through the vessels, stop new foci of infection and destroy phytopathogens.
According to the purpose of application
Fungicides according to the purpose of application are divided into the following varieties: For soil treatment - soil. They are introduced immediately into the soil for its disinfection, this is especially true for soil in a greenhouse and hotbeds. Fumigants are usually used - these are preparations in the form of gases or vapors.
For dressing seed material - use drugs that fight diseases and infections spread by seeds or in the ground. For the treatment of plants during the growing season, these are mainly protective fungicides that prevent diseases. For processing plants at rest. They have a contact eradicating effect, destroy wintering pathogens and pests. Since the substances severely damage the green parts of plants, they are used in early spring before the awakening of the kidneys, in autumn and winter.
Depending on the nature of distribution within plant tissues
According to the distribution of the substance in the tissues, fungicides are:
- contact;
- systemic.
After treatment with contact preparations, they remain on the surface of plant parts. In contact with the pathogen, the active substance causes its death. The effectiveness of drugs depends on weather conditions, duration of action, concentration. Systemic drugs penetrate into plants and spread through the vascular system, suppressing the pathogen during metabolism or acting directly on it. Efficiency depends on the rate of penetration of the active substance into the crop, as well as on the weather (it affects to a lesser extent).
Most systemic fungicides have both preventive and curative properties.
Kinds
Fungicides by their nature are:
- chemical;
- biological ( biogenic origin).
Chemical fungicides have an unstable effect, after the termination of their action, the treated area is again populated by pathogenic microorganisms. It would seem that treating plants and soil on a regular basis will help solve the problem, but all chemicals are toxic, so their use is constantly prohibited. The composition of biological preparations includes various strains of microorganisms that destroy harmful microflora. They have a persistent long-term effect, are non-toxic, but are effective only at the onset of the disease or as a preventive measure.

Before choosingfungicidal preparations, you need to accurately determine the disease and be sure to take into account the type of plant. The solution is prepared strictly according to the instructions that the manufacturer usually places on the package. It also contains warnings information about toxicity and information about what protection measures are needed when working with this product.
Today, hundreds of fungicides are sold in stores that kill harmful fungus on plants, as well as protect them from the most terrible diseases.
There are too many factors involved in choosing the right fungicide for any given application. The type and age of the plant, the type of disease and its "neglect". Even the weather, the area of green spaces and the presence of pets in the vicinity play a role. It's easy to get confused.
We do not recommend buying a fungicide at random: the advertised chemical may turn out to be a “dummy”. It is possible that he is even capable of harming a diseased plant. The best thing is to trust the opinions of professionals.
In our manual, we have collected the recommendations of scientists and the advice of experienced farmers. We deliberately put a review of the most effective fungicides at the very end of the material, because in order to cure a plant, you first need to make a correct diagnosis. And in order to make a correct diagnosis, you need to know everything about plant pests. This is what is dedicated most of our guide.
You need to defeat the fungus wisely!
Why is the fungus dangerous for plants?
All fungicides have a common enemy - pathogenic fungi, which so easily infect ornamental and agricultural plants. Farmers and housewives, food producers and gardeners suffer from them.
Here's what fungal spores and fungi themselves are capable of:
- - They disfigure plants: various diseases reflected in the color and shape of fruits, leaves and flowers;
- - Mushrooms deprive us of the harvest. In just a couple of weeks, they can cause damage to plantings of potatoes, apples, grapes and wheat, tomatoes and cucumbers, blueberries and strawberries;
- - They kill them. Your favorite lawn or home flower may die if not treated in time with the right fungicide;
- - Fungal diseases hit the pockets of farmers and the state. In some cases, the degree of crop loss from the fungus becomes catastrophic, up to ruin.
It is very difficult to avoid infection with a fungus without preventive measures. Spores live in soil, air, on other plants and in water. They are carried by the wind, animals and even people! And then mycelium comes into play: thin threads, something like a mycelium. They penetrate the tissues of the plant and begin to devour living matter. In addition, fungus-covered leaves do not receive light and die without the possibility of photosynthesis.
The most common fungal plant diseases
The presence of a fungus in a plant is most often indicated external symptoms. White bloom and rusty pads, colored spots and sores, fragments of rot and bumpy growths may appear on the greens. In addition, plants wither, deform, dry out, become thinner, become overgrown with tumors and cease to bear fruit from fungi. In the case of lawn and grass, bald spots form on the ground. Any of these symptoms cause dozens different types fungi. This system is not easy to streamline, but still the most common diseases have received their folk and scientific names. Here is some of them.
Powdery mildew. This is a universal villain that affects the leaves, fruits, stems and flowers of plants. white bloom(mycelium) in a couple of days can completely tighten a garden rose or vine. The disease kills the fruits the longest: they rot and crack. Especially loves "powdery mildew" young shoots. Pumpkins, peaches, gooseberries, cereals, roses, even sugar beets... who doesn't suffer from it!
Snow mold. This is the enemy of all lovers of natural lawns and tall grass. "Snow mold" usually appears in early spring, after the snow melts. It spreads in circles 3-12 inches in diameter. When these circles "breed", the lawn can completely die. First, pink, white or gray mold will cover the lawn ... then the mushrooms will draw all the juices out of the grass, and it will die. Most often, meadow and reed fescue, perennial ryegrass and meadow bluegrass suffer from this fungus.
Root rot. These diseases like rhizoctoniosis and "black rot" are dangerous for most plants. Fungi undermine the roots of room and garden greens. You will not know about this for a long time: you will simply follow the smooth withering of the plant. An insidious disease will turn the root system into black dust or rusty dry lashes.
"Spotted" fungus on the leaves. A disease affecting vegetables. Oily dark spots form on the leaves. Most often, tomatoes and peppers, potatoes, asparagus, rhubarb suffer from them. This "beauty" directly affects the yield of vegetables. Although the fruits themselves rarely suffer.
And there are also various fungi that affect the grass. It may become covered with rust-colored blisters and red-brown rings (Fusarium disease). The lawn may turn brown and disappear under small cotton clouds (Pythium's disease).
Prevention of fungal diseases
Fungi love high humidity, stagnant weather and proximity to other plants. Therefore, it is necessary to observe a certain interval between plantings, as well as save them from excessive watering and poor air circulation. These rules are especially relevant for greenhouse plants. You need to regularly monitor the cleanliness of the soil and dispose of dying plantations.
American scientists who have studied this issue are asking everyone to be careful with mulching and pruning plants (mistakes during these operations can lead to infection). They also call the best way to prevent ... the purchase of specially bred varieties that are resistant to fungi. Roots from fungi will protect sterile pots, control over the purchased soil mixture- a competent irrigation system that excludes stagnant water.
The classification of fungicides divides them according to the purpose of application. It looks like this.
- protective fungicides. Organic and inorganic agents for the prevention of fungal diseases.
- Therapeutic fungicides. Drugs that can stop the development of the disease and even destroy it.
- Systemic or complex fungicides. They work both for the prevention and for the treatment of plants.
- Immunization agents. They improve the metabolism of the plant and teach it to fight not only fungi, but also bacterial diseases.
The principle of action of chemicals also differs. There are, for example, contact fungicides. Most often this protective equipment, which "defend" from fungi only that part of the plant on which they are located. The farmers and experienced gardeners popular "treaters". They process seeds and bulbs so that in adulthood they are not disturbed by pests.
Recently, organic liquid products have become fashionable, which move freely through the vascular system of the plant. They can save individual shoots of an already infected plant from diseases, work as a protective and remedy.
Which is better: organic or inorganic fungicides?
First, it is important to decide whether you are looking for an organic or inorganic fungicide. The former are considered more environmentally friendly and safer for nature and humans. But we are more interested in the practical side of the matter. Moreover, many "organic products" are also synthesized using chemicals.
The advantage of organic fungicides over inorganic ones is that they do not contain rare and hazardous metals. These metals pose a danger to animals, earthworms and, in rare cases, soil. If too much copper or mercury accumulates. But " natural remedies» decompose underground by themselves, this happens very quickly. True, this property also affects the duration of the healing effect (synthetic chemicals last longer).
Organics are easier to “cook”: most often you just need to mix a powder or liquid agent in water. We add that organics can be combined with a large number pesticides than inorganic preparations.
The advantage of inorganic means is consumer confidence. It was the products based on copper, sulfur, mercury and chlorine that were the first to appear on the market: our grandfathers used them. And this is already a certain habit and tradition. Although, logically, younger synthetic organics should be more perfect. But even here it is not so simple. In some diseases, old preparations of copper oxychloride with a concentration of 0.5-0.75% are still not inferior in effectiveness to fashionable synthetic drugs.
Are chemical fungicides so terrible? The USA environment agency writes: “Some of the worst pesticide poisonings come from the misuse of organic mercury or hexachlorobenzene to treat seed. However, most fungicides in use and registered for use in the US are not capable of causing frequent or severe poisoning."
So you can harm yourself and the environment only if you use products that are not according to the instructions! The portal asks to be especially careful with these substances: triazoles, mercury, thiocarbamates, dithiocarbamates, mercury.
Best store bought fungicides
Experts have approved dozens of different fungicides, and it's easy to get lost in this long list of names. Therefore, we decided to help you and selected the most effective means which can be purchased online.
Fungicide BORDEAUX LIQUID
A classic fungicide based on copper. Suitable for flowers, fruits and vegetables. It copes well with powdery mildew, black spots and "early" fungi. It must be mixed with water in the proportions indicated on the package and used as a spray. Buyers write that one spray per month is usually enough. But with frequent rains and irregular watering, the product is used more often.
There are several references to the effective use of lawn fungus. In total, about 85% of buyers call the product useful.
Fungicide CLEAR COLOR
A similar product from the same manufacturer. Only here you do not need to dilute anything: the product is sold as a ready-made spray. The fungicide contains copper octanoate, which is a copper salt compound with a fatty acid. At the same time, the concentration level of the chemical protects the greens from burns.
The developer insists on abundant spraying of the leaves. You can even pay attention to their lower part. People in the comments advise not to spray the product on the eve of rain: it takes from 24 to 48 hours for it to be completely absorbed. The next time spraying will need to be done in 2-4 weeks.
We find several dissatisfied comments. To some farmers, the solution seems "weak". But these are special cases - about 80% of farmers were satisfied with the performance of the chemical.
Fungicide Topaz
A well-known universal fungicide that has earned high praise from users. It is suitable for most garden plants and lawns. Fans of spray roses put it especially highly. It is a protective fungicide. It is optimally suited for the prevention and protection of plants from fungi. The chemical is not afraid of rain and stays on the leaves for two weeks. Depending on the purpose of the application (treatment, prevention, protection), the developer recommends using different ways drug spray.
Users write that the best work comes with tender plants and thin foliage. Many reviews of the successful fight against lawn diseases.
Fungicide Forecast
The most famous manufacturer, the quality of whose goods can hardly raise questions. It is a highly rated organic systemic fungicide that not only prevents but also treats diseases. Almost 80% of all users are satisfied with its effectiveness. Controls black spots, powdery mildew, gray mold, plant rust, scab. The instructions say that it can be applied up to the days of harvest. But we still wouldn't risk it.
One bottle is enough for 10 liters of water. The resulting mixture can be applied to both leaves and fruits. In the reviews of the product, we found conflicting opinions about the need for reapplication. Some people wrote that they solved the problem of the fungus the first time. Others - about the mandatory repetition of the procedure in 1-2 weeks. Perhaps it all depends on the type of fungus and the degree of infection of the plant. Fortunately, the fungicide is not harmful to worms and beneficial insects.

Scotts Lawn Fungus Control, 5,000-sq ft, 6.75 Pounds
A tool designed to prevent only lawn diseases. The active ingredient is 2.3% methyl thiophanate. Experienced users recommend using the substance in the spring: otherwise you may be late. After all, kill the fungus Scotts Lawn no longer capable.
One bag is enough for 300-400 m2. Note that the opinions of users about this product have diverged. Some have called it too toxic for home use.
- First of all, determine the exact disease. Try to give your plant an accurate diagnosis based on external signs of the disease, communication with "brothers in misfortune" and professional advice. Try to buy a remedy for this type of fungus, and not universal options.
- Pay attention to the environment. Place of growth of a diseased plant, season, air temperature at the time of application of the fungicide, the rate of development of the disease. All this affects the choice of medicine. A corresponding recommendation for optimal conditions for use is often found on the label.
- Learn contraindications. On quality medicines, a list of plants that do not tolerate these fungicides is indicated.
- Choose between liquid and powder form. Powders are more often created to work in the soil, and liquids are more often created to process leaves and flowers. The effect of fluids tends to start earlier, but it also wears off faster.
- Compare prices. Prices for the same product or for different fungicides with similar ingredients can vary greatly. As in the case of drugs, it is not always necessary to overpay for a brand if there is a cheap analogue. Of course, it is necessary to check the state certification of all goods.
Even organic products can harm plants and humans if used improperly. Here are 9 tips for proper maintenance for new gardeners.
- Always follow the safety instructions in the instructions. All spraying is best done in special protective clothing. Most often, a fungicide is a threat to the skin and mucous membranes. Even potted plants need to be handled outside or on a balcony.
- Follow the time of year. It is believed, for example, that dithiocarbamic acid derivatives have a positive effect on the growth and development of plants, which is why they are usually recommended for use during periods of intensive growth (spring and early summer). And by the end of summer, copper-containing preparations should be used.
- Do not mix organic fungicides - captan, cineb, cyram, polycarbacin, dichlon with mineral oil preparations, since such a mixture can contribute to the occurrence of plant burns.
- Follow the frequency. Most often, the plant is re-treated every 15-30 days. But each product has its own rules, they are indicated on the label. This indicator is also affected by the time of year and precipitation.
- Don't waste your harvest. It is better not to use fungicides at all at the time of fruit ripening, but to solve the problem of the fungus earlier. If the case is too neglected, you need to use low-toxic drugs. And before that, find out how many days before harvesting you can use them for the last time.
- Spray in the morning. Experts assure that night and early morning will become best time for spraying liquid fungicides.
- Watch the weather. Sprays, liquids and all contact products should not be used in rain and wind.
- Be aware of phytotoxicity. Phytotoxicity is the state when a drug begins to harm the plant. Its cause is a violation of the concentration of the substance, too frequent use of chemistry and the incompatibility of the agent and the plant.
- Don't give them a chance to adjust. The effect of "resistance" is observed quite often. Fungi simply evolve under the action of fungicides and cease to be afraid of them in future generations. In such cases, Australian scientists advise either to combine means, or to eradicate the fungus before it has time to breed. The same Australians recommend seed dressing.
Fungicides to get rid of powdery mildew
Powdery mildew spores are transmitted by air, water and "from the hands of a person." They love wet and cool weather, they just thrive on houseplants. You can invite trouble by too frequent watering of greenery and a high nitrogen content in the soil.
On the initial stage(prevention and first week) can be applied folk methods. For example, a solution of potassium bicarbonate and soap, a copper-soap solution, or a decoction of horsetail. There are a lot of such recipes on the Internet. But if the moment is missed, it is better to take on more serious means.
Engage in complex treatment of plants. Start spraying at the first symptoms of illness. Among biological preparations, neem oil, insecticidal soap, garden oil and the same potassium bicarbonate will help you with this. Of the chemical compounds, pay attention to copper, fenarimol, myclobutanil, propiconazole, triadimefon and sulfur.

Fungicides for the treatment of fungus on the lawn
Most lawn diseases, despite the difference in symptoms, are treated in much the same way. In the matter of their prevention and elimination, the quality plays a particularly significant role. drainage system. It should not resemble a marshy swamp or an African desert. Gardeners advise arranging watering early in the morning so that the earth has time to absorb moisture during the day.
Fungi are more likely to appear in lawns that are frequently and heavily trimmed with a lawn mower. Any incision is a risk of fungal attack. It is also known that young grass has a weak immunity compared to the old one. Note that fungi do not like heat, which means that it is easier to fight diseases in the summer.
But these are just preventive measures. What treatments do experts recommend? For lawn root rot they recommend the following remedies: Spectracide immunox, Fertilome Systemic, Ortho lawn disease control, Propiconazole. For the most part, this systemic fungicides water based.
With colored circles on the grass fit: Turfcide, Spectracide immunox, Hi-Yeld Maneb and Green Light broad spectrum. Here the bet is made on the protective means of broad action. However, some complex fungicides may also be suitable.
Fungicides for the treatment of snow mold
From most fungal diseases, "snow mold" is distinguished by the fact that it attacks plantings in winter. The fungus settles in the lawn with the first cold weather and early snow. You will see manifestations of the disease only in spring and summer, when young grass sprouts on your lawn. The owner of the weed will have time to prevent the "epidemic". Firstly, it will be necessary to remove the remnants of the old greenery in late autumn in order to destroy the springboard for a possible “landing of fungi”. Secondly, in the spring, re-remove all natural debris and carry out the correct mowing of the young.
There are many on the market preventive fungicides against this bullshit. The experts recommend the following line of products (mostly granular chemicals to be mixed with water): Terraclor 75WP, Ferti-lome Azalea, Camellia, Crape Myrtle Insecticide and Fungicide, Hi-Yield Turf and Ornamental Fungicide(containing 10% PCNB), Hi -Yield Terraclor Granular Fungicide. (more on them below)
For autumn prevention the DMI fungicides strobilurins and dicarboximides are also suitable. They need to be applied to the soil at the very end of the season.
To protect plantings Ortho Garden Disease Control (Daconil 2787), Hi-Yield Daconil Lawn Vegetable Flower Fungicide, Fertilome Lawn & Garden Fungicide, Fertilome Broad Spectrum Liquid Fungicide and Bonide Fung-onil are already familiar.
Potassium bicarbonate is a traditional homemade fungicide.
Potassium bicarbonate is an organic chemical compound (KHCO3) in powder form white color, which is widely used in various fields: from medicine, sports, cooking and to Agriculture. This protective fungicide is a real lifesaver for plants growing in acidic soils because it:
- has low toxicity;
- protects vegetables (particularly pumpkins) and ornamental plants from powdery mildew;
- reduces the rate of reproduction of harmful fungi and bacteria.
BUT! Potassium bicarbonate does not protect against black spots on roses and against direct plant contact with fungi.
Why is it often used as a replacement for soda (NaHCO3) in plant treatments. Based on the composition of these chemical compounds, it seems that there is almost no difference in them and they are similar in chemical properties. But this is only at first glance.
It is known that in contact with the soil, both soda and B.K eventually settle in it in the form of chlorine salts - which are useful for the growth and nutrition of plants, but in excess carry great harm (especially sodium from soda). Therefore, you can not use these fungicides randomly! Processing them is possible only in certain seasons - in spring or autumn, depending on the type of soil. You can use any of them, but B.K. considered more effective than soda.
Unlike B.K., soda does not kill powdery mildew on plants, but only prevents its spread, which was repeatedly recorded by those gardeners who used it as a fungicide and compared the action with B.K. Therefore, the choice between potassium bicarbonate and soda seems to us virtually obvious.
We offer you the most popular recipe using potassium bicarbonate:
“Mix 4 teaspoons (or 1 heaping tablespoon) of potassium bicarbonate with 4 liters of water. Lightly spray the leaves of plants affected by black spots, powdery mildew and other fungal diseases. In this case, potassium bicarbonate is a good substitute for soda."
fungal diseases- this is a fairly serious problem for any gardener. If you find that your plant is affected by a fungus, you need to take urgent measures, otherwise it will be extremely difficult to save the plant. This may indicate gray coating on the leaves of the plant. In this case, special preparations come to the aid of all gardeners - fungicides. What are fungicides, what they are, how to use them - we will tell in this article.
Traces of leaf damage by a fungal disease
What is a "fungicide"?
First you need to figure out what it is. Fungicides- These are chemical preparations for the treatment of plants, belong to a large group of pesticides. Translated from Latin"fungicide" means "killing fungi". They inhibit the development and destroy fungi harmful to plants.
How fungicides work is still not exactly known. The vast majority of these drugs act directly on fungi and their spores, disrupting their normal life processes. Some fungicides disrupt the reproduction of fungi, some block the synthesis of proteins and other substances necessary for the life of the fungus, and some disrupt the normal process of fungal cell division.
What are fungicides?
There are many different classifications of fungicides. All drugs according to the method of production are divided into chemical and biological. The first are produced artificially from chemical compounds. And the second group is made on the basis of live bacteria pathogenic for fungi. The advantage of biological ones is that they are less harmful and toxic compared to chemical ones. It is because of this advantage that natural fungicides are often used by gardeners.
Another one fungicide classification- according to the mechanism of action. There are two groups of fungicides:
- preventive (they protect plants from harmful fungi);
medicinal (diseased plants are treated).
Leaves affected by the fungus
Depending on the active ingredients, the composition includes organic and inorganic fungicides.
Inorganic fungicides contain salts of sulfur, copper, iron, potassium, manganese and other substances.
Organic fungicides are made from organic substances. They have a number of advantages: such preparations do not contain heavy metals and other harmful chemicals, are easily decomposed by soil inhabitants and are well combined with other pesticides. But there are organic fungicides and negative sides- they are not resistant and are washed out of the soil very quickly. Also, they are not very effective and sometimes they are not enough to cure a diseased plant. On the contrary, their inorganic "brothers" act for quite a long time, are characterized by fast action and efficiency.
Fungicidal preparations are used for various purposes. They can directly process the plants themselves (during the growing season or dormancy), treat the seeds before planting for prevention, and you can also cultivate the soil. But there are also combined preparations that are suitable for complex processing: seeds, adult plants, as well as soil.
Different fungicides have different localization on the plant. Those fungicides that remain on the surface and act in direct contact with the fungus are called contact, or local. But the effect of such fungicides depends on the amount of the drug, on chemical resistance, and also on the weather, because the drug is easily washed off from the surface of plants by rain.
Another group of fungicides are systemic (or intraplant), they spread inside the plant, destroying pathogenic fungi from the inside. These fungicides are no longer dependent on the weather, their effectiveness is determined only by how quickly the drug penetrates the plant.
Mode of application
Fungicides can be applied in three different ways.
The first is seed dressing before planting. This is done either with a dry powder or with a solution of a fungicide in water.
The second way is spraying adult plants. In this case, the treatment is carried out with a fungicide solution, usually done in spring and autumn (as a preventive measure), and also when the plant is infected with a fungus and needs to be cured.
You can also apply a dry preparation or its solution directly to the soil before planting. Such treatment will destroy fungi that may be in the ground and prevent infection of plants.
All fungicides must be used strictly according to the instructions so as not to harm the plant. You also need to remember that many fungicides are classified as substances of medium danger. But you should not worry if you handle fungicides correctly, they can only harm fungi.
That is why it is very important to observe safety precautions when working with fungicides: protect your hands with gloves, wear protective clothing, wash your hands thoroughly after work. Also be sure to isolate children and pets from the premises.

Its main difference from other fungicides is its ability to act as a plant growth stimulator. It acts on the immune system of plants, protects against subsequent infections. It is used for both garden crops and indoor flowers.
Profit Gold
Fungicide with a systemic mechanism of action. The two active ingredients in its base, cymoxanil and famoxadone, provide effective treatment for various fungal infections. Cymoxanil penetrates inside the plant and acts on the fungus from the inside, blocking its development. And the second component is responsible for the impact on the fungus from the outside. Famoxadone kills the fungus and its spores and forms a thin film over the plant. It is this systemic action that helps to quickly and effectively overcome the fungus on plants, even in difficult cases. The action of the drug is long.
Gardeners use "Profit Gold" to combat late blight, powdery mildew, anthracnose and other fungal diseases. Also, this fungicide is used to treat and protect indoor flowers.

Trichodermin
It is a biological fungicide based on natural ingredients. It has become an excellent alternative to chemical pesticides.
The basis of this drug is a strain of saprophytic fungi Trichoderma lignorium. This fungus, when it hits the substrate, begins to actively grow and multiply. In the course of its life, it releases special substances - natural antibiotics. These substances negatively affect the harmful fungus, leading to its death.
To others positive qualities The drug can also be attributed to the fact that it is completely safe for people and animals, does not accumulate in fruits, and is also able to increase the amount of yield. In addition to fighting fungi, it has a beneficial effect on the soil, and also accelerates plant growth.

Available in three forms - powder, paste, solution.
Hom
This fungicide is produced on the basis of copper oxychloride.
It can act as an analogue of the Bordeaux mixture. But the main difference from it (unfortunately, negative) is that “Khom” is very easily washed off with water from plants, so it does not differ in durability.
It is used to combat late blight, peronosporosis, spotting.
The mechanism of action of the drug: after the treatment of the plant, the drug, falling on the foci of infection with the fungus, penetrates into their cells. There, the fungicide acts on the synthesis of substances important for the fungus, and this causes the death of the fungus.
This fungicide is not addictive in pathogenic organisms, so it is always effective in combating them.
Horus
"Horus" is a fungicide with a systemic type of action. It is based on cyprodinil.
It is intended for spraying crops; after treatment, it forms a thin layer on plants that protects them from infection.
It is used for the treatment and prevention of diseases such as scab, coccomycosis, moniliosis, leaf curl and some others.
The advantages of the drug can also be attributed to the fact that it is active at low temperatures, non-phytotoxic, economical, easy to use.
Here is list of most fungicides used to treat and protect plants from fungal diseases. After reading it, you will have an idea of what fungicides are, how they can help your plant, and which fungicide is best to choose to save your plants.
