Application features and advantages of the Strobi fungicide

Characteristics of the drug

Fungicide "Strobi" is produced by the German company "Basf". The drug is used not only for the treatment of an already existing disease, but also for prophylactic purposes. Many pathogens of fungal diseases are sensitive to the components of the agent, therefore, the use of a fungicide is almost always relevant.

Composition and mechanism of action

The main active ingredient of the fungicide is kresoxim-methyl, which quickly penetrates into plant tissues, and does not accumulate in soil and water bodies.

"Strobi" is characterized by a local-systemic effect. The mechanism of work of the components of the drug is that penetrating into the tissue of the culture, the substances block the development of the mycelium of the fungus. As a result, the vital activity of the pathogen is suspended and further formation of disputes becomes impossible.

The tool has a prolonged action - the protective properties remain for two weeks.

Fungicide advantages and disadvantages

The wide popularity of "Strobi" is due to a number of advantages that the drug has:

• the possibility of using during the flowering culture;
• fast penetration into the plant and uniform distribution in tissues;
• the product has a prolonged effect that lasts for 7-14 days;
• economical expense of funds;
• rapid leaching of the components of the fungicide from the soil;
• relevance of use at any stage of infection;
• safety for humans, pets, bees;
• preservation of protective properties even in conditions of high ambient humidity.

The disadvantages of "Strobi" include the need to accurately calculate the proportions for a particular plant. Otherwise, treatment with a low-concentration solution will be completely useless.

Features of processing and consumption rates

Some types of fungi are capable of forming resistance. After a certain period of time, the pathogen forms new spores, which subsequently aggravate the situation. To prevent this process, another fungicide must be used a week after the first treatment.

For vineyards

The grapes are often exposed to anthracnose, white rot, blotchiness. To prevent diseases, it is recommended to process the crop during the growing season. There are about 1000 liters of solution per hectare. In this case, the norm of the fungicide should be 2 g per 6 liters of water. 2 sprays should be carried out. The last treatment should be carried out one month before harvesting.

For ornamental plants

Flowers and ornamental shrubs are often exposed to rust and powdery mildew. To prepare the solution, 5 g of the product is used per 10 liters of water. As a rule, 3 treatments are carried out per season. A time interval of 10-12 days should be observed.

In the process of treating ornamental plants from fungal diseases, it is recommended to alternate the fungicide with other agents that have a different mechanism of action. This technique will significantly increase the efficiency of treatments.

For vegetable crops

Vegetable crops are most often infected with powdery mildew, late blight, spotting, peronosporosis. To destroy pathogens, a solution is prepared at the rate of 5 g of the agent per 10 liters of water.

Treatments are carried out during the growing season, alternating "Strobi" with other drugs. The last processing procedure should be carried out 10 days before harvesting outdoors and a week before harvesting in the case of greenhouses.

For fruit trees

Fruit trees often suffer from powdery mildew and scab. The use of a fungicide not only inhibits the vital activity of the fungus and blocks the formation of new spores, but also has a greening effect on trees.

The working solution is prepared in a proportion of 2 g of the product per 10 liters of water. Processing is recommended no more than 3 times per season and always during the growing season. "Strobi" should be combined with other means with a different principle of action.

The last spraying should be carried out no later than a month before harvesting the fruits.

Terms and conditions of storage

The drug has no special requirements for storage conditions. The main rule is that the packaging of the fungicide should be in a dry, dark place. The drug must be out of reach of children and pets. The ready-made Strobi solution should be used immediately after dilution. After several hours, it completely loses its properties. The shelf life of the powder is 5 years.

Toxicity and Precautions

Despite the fact that the fungicide has an average toxicity class (III), the use of the agent requires compliance with certain safety measures:

1. Processing must be carried out in calm weather so that drops of solution do not spread throughout the summer cottage.
2. Before spraying, it is important to wear protective clothing that covers all areas of the skin.
3. A prerequisite for spraying is the use of protective gloves and goggles. In addition, a construction respirator should not be neglected, which will reliably protect the respiratory system.
4. During the procedure, it is strictly forbidden to eat or smoke.
5. There should be no children, elderly people, or pets near the treatment site.

A mandatory item is a detailed study of the instructions for the fungicide.

Fungicide analogs and compatibility with other drugs

The following drugs are considered similar in composition and principle of action:

• Trichodermin;
• Topsin M;
• "Prestige".

Given that long-term use of the fungicide can lead to the development of fungal resistance, experienced gardeners recommend alternating the remedy with other drugs that differ in the principle of action. Strobi is compatible with the following insecticides and fungicides:

• BI-58 New;
• "Fastak";
• Delan;
• "Poliram";
• "Cumulus DF".

Reviews of gardeners and gardeners

The effectiveness and long-term effect of "Strobe" is confirmed by numerous positive reviews.

The drug has earned the trust of many gardeners. It has a moderate level of toxicity, but still requires careful handling. Observance of all precautions, calculation of the correct proportions and alternation of "Strobi" with other fungicides guarantees a high-quality and rich harvest of fruit crops.
