The fungicide "Abiga-Peak" is used according to the instructions to protect gardens and vegetable plots from the most dangerous diseases that cause fruit rot. This product is an excellent fertilizer, enriching the soil with copper. However, it is recommended to use it in the prescribed doses. The fungicide is used no more than 3-4 times per season. After each application, take a 3-4 week break.

General description and characteristics of the product

Abiga-Peak is an easy-to-use fungicide that protects gardens and vegetable patches from various fungal and bacterial diseases. This chemical is available as a suspension, which is diluted with water before use at the prescribed dosage. The product is packaged in plastic bottles and canisters with capacities ranging from 50 ml to 5-10 liters. It is available at a relatively low price.

Composition and how it works

Abiga-Peak is a chemical product based on copper oxychloride (chloroxide). This active ingredient has fungicidal and bactericidal properties. It only affects pathogens through direct contact. Copper particles remain on the plant surface after the solution dries and are activated in a moist environment.

The active ingredient inhibits conidial germination and sporulation. Copper oxychloride has a toxic effect on harmful microorganisms at the cellular level (denaturing proteins and destroying enzymes).

The active ingredient does not penetrate plants and cannot kill any fungi that may have settled there. Copper oxychloride acts only on the surface and is only effective in the initial stages of infection.

Plants treated with the product are protected for 10-12 days. The duration of protection generally depends on weather conditions. The product is resistant to temperature fluctuations, but is washed away by rain and destroyed by alkalis (not recommended for use with soaps).

His purpose

Abiga-Peak is primarily used to prevent and treat fungal diseases of garden and vegetable crops. It is effective in the early stages of infection. This fungicide combats late blight, early blight, leaf spot, cercospora leaf spot, downy mildew, anthracnose, powdery mildew, downy mildew, scab, moniliosis, and other diseases.

Expert opinion

Zarechny Maxim Valerievich

Abiga-Peak is used to protect potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, fruit trees, and grapes. The fungicide is used during the growing season. It can be applied up to four times per season (at intervals of 3-4 weeks).

Abiga-Peak is a copper-containing product that also functions as a fertilizer. This product prevents chlorosis, stimulates plant growth and full development, and prevents wilting and leaf drop. However, it's important to always follow the instructions and apply the product at the specified concentration. Excess copper can be harmful to gardens and vegetable plots. It's best used on sandy, peaty, and sod-podzolic soils. These soils are deficient in copper, and the copper-containing fungicide compensates for this deficiency.

Pros and cons

contains an adhesive that allows the solution to remain on the surface of plants;

diluted with ordinary water;

fights fungi and nourishes plants at the same time;

equally active at low or high air temperatures;

Storage of unused solution is permitted.

does not penetrate into plants, acts locally on the surface;

washed away by frequent rains;

in large doses it can lead to negative consequences (plant burns, destruction of soil microflora, increased copper content in ripe fruits).

What is the compatibility of the product with other medications?

Abiga-Peak can be used in combination with other fungicides. The suspension does not inhibit the activity of biological plant protection products. To reduce the risk of crop damage, it is recommended to use Abiga-Peak in combination with dithiocarbamate products (Mancozeb, Thiram).

When diluting the fungicide, it's recommended to pay attention to the acidity of the water. A solution prepared with Abiga-Peak becomes more phytotoxic if used in a highly acidic solution.

Performance indicators

Abiga-Peak protects against most fungi that cause crop diseases. However, the product acts locally. The larger the plant surface covered with the solution, the better the protection. Untreated parts of garden and vegetable crops are vulnerable to fungi. The product increases yields by 30 percent and reduces plant disease incidence by 50 percent.

This fungicide is effective against diseases of tomatoes, grapes, and apple trees. The copper contained in the solution (at the recommended concentration) does not accumulate in the soil and penetrates berries, fruits, and vegetables in minimal amounts.

Methods of solution preparation

Abiga-Peak is a suspension that must be diluted with water before use at the recommended doses. The solution is prepared in a plastic (not metal) container immediately before spraying. The first treatment is usually carried out in late spring, at the very beginning of the plant's growing season.

The amount of solution depends on the area being treated. For one hundred square meters (100 square meters), 10 liters of water is sufficient. Typically, no more than fifty grams of Abiga-Peak is dissolved in this amount of liquid. A regular sprayer with a fine atomizer is used to irrigate the vegetable garden.

What precautions are there?

Before use, copper-containing fungicides must be diluted with water at the recommended doses specified in the instructions. It is recommended to spray plants in dry weather. Frequent rainfall reduces its effectiveness. The fungicide is easily washed away with water, but this does not mean it can be used too frequently. Wait at least three weeks before reapplying. Otherwise, excess copper can cause burns and spider veins on the fruit.

When handling this fungicide, it is recommended to wear a protective suit, mask, and gloves. Do not inhale the solution's vapors or ingest it. If the suspension is ingested, drink two glasses of water, induce vomiting, and take several activated charcoal tablets.

Spraying your garden or vegetable patch during the bee's active flight period is prohibited. It's best to spray in the evening. This solution will be completely safe for bees in just 10 hours. Any remaining solution can be used for repeat treatments.

Besides Abiga-Peak, there are other copper-containing fungicides. Products with similar compositions include Oxychom, Hom, Kuprolux, and others. Copper-containing fungicides are typically used to treat fungal diseases in gardens and vegetable patches.

Antonina Vyacheslavovna: "I use Abiga-Peak to prevent rotting of vegetables, fruits, and berries at the very beginning of summer. One or two applications are enough."

Sergey, 66: "I use this product in the fall (I water the soil after harvesting). In the spring and summer, I only treat the plants that show signs of disease."
