Fungicides are agrochemicals designed to protect plants from various types of infections. Some products are effective in protecting vegetable crops, while others are effective in protecting grain crops and forage grasses. There are single- and multi-component products. When used correctly, they are harmless to humans and do not affect crop quality. The fungicide "Azorro" protects spring and winter cereals from fungi.
What is included in the composition and existing forms of release
The drug is available in the form of a concentrated suspension.
The fungicide contains 2 active components:
- Carbendazim - 300 grams/liter.
- Azoxystrobin - 100 grams/liter.
This product is a contact and systemic pesticide that protects plants from various types of fungal infections. It is produced by Shchelkovo Agrokhim, a domestic company specializing in plant protection products. It is packaged in 10-liter plastic canisters.
Important: this product is not used on personal plots.
Each package of fungicide comes with detailed instructions for use from the manufacturer.
Mechanism of operation
The presence of carbendazim in the composition provides a therapeutic and protective effect. The component is absorbed by the roots and leaves of plants, spreading up the stem and inhibiting the development of infection. It has a protective effect and protects crops from infection.
Azoxystrobin also has therapeutic and protective properties; by penetrating pathogenic cells, it halts cell division, resulting in the death of the fungus. The interaction of these two active ingredients enhances the effectiveness of the fungicide, providing a systemic effect to protect and treat treated crops.
Purpose
"Azorro" is used to treat winter and spring wheat and barley crops. It is especially effective in early spring, protecting seedlings from damage:
- powdery mildew;
- leaf septoria;
- brown rust;
- pyrenophorosis;
- cercosporellosis.
Instructions for use
The crop areas are treated with a working solution of the product. It is prepared before spraying. Fill the container with water (1/3 of the required volume), add the emulsion concentrate with the mixer running, and bring the volume to the required level with water, continuing to stir. Do not exceed the manufacturer's recommended solution concentration. Azorro fungicide is approved for use in aerial spraying.
| Sprayed crop | Amount of fungicide concentrate in liters per hectare | What types of fungal infections is it effective against? | Consumption of working fluid, in liters per hectare | Period of application |
| Winter wheat | 0.8-1 | Powdery mildew, brown rust, leaf septoria, pyrenophorosis, cercospora | 200-300 | In the early stages of development, at the first signs of infection |
| Spring wheat | 0.8-1 | Brown rust, powdery mildew, leaf septoria, pyrenophorosis, cercosporella | 200-300 | At the first signs of fungal infections |
| Winter and spring barley | 0.8-1 | Dark brown spot, net spot, rhynchosporiosis | 200-300 | At the first signs of infection |
One to two treatments per season are sufficient; if necessary, repeat spraying after 40 days. Work can resume three days after applying the fungicide. The product begins to work within one to two hours after application. Its multi-component composition prevents the development of resistance. Treatment is carried out in dry, cloudy weather with no wind.
The fungicide is used in tank mixes. All components are tested for compatibility before preparation.
