Its differences from the "Skor" product

When choosing a fungicide for their garden, many gardeners prefer products that are suitable for use on most fruit plants. One such product is the fungicide "Discor," which is used not only on seedlings but also for pre-sowing seed treatment. The manufacturer's instructions explain how to properly prepare the solution and the recommended application rates.

What is included in the composition and existing forms of release

This fungicide, which has complex and systemic effects, contains one active ingredient, difenoconazole, which belongs to the triazole class of chemicals. One liter of the chemical contains 250 grams of the active ingredient.

The fungicide "Discor" is available commercially as an emulsifiable concentrate packaged in 10 ml bottles and 2 ml ampoules. These packaging options are used by flower growers for treating houseplants and by gardeners for use in small garden plots. Farmers prefer 1- and 5-liter plastic canisters. The fungicide is manufactured by the domestic company "Agruskhim" LLC.

Operating principle and purpose

The chemical product "Discor" is designed to protect fruit crops from diseases. Plants suitable for this fungicide include fruit trees, berry bushes, vegetable crops, and ornamental plants, both indoors and outdoors. The product is applied not only to the foliage but also to soak seeds before planting, treat tubers and bulbs, and water the soil in pots.

The fungicide "Discor" effectively kills pathogens that cause diseases such as powdery mildew and gray mold, powdery mildew and early blight, leaf curl and coccomycosis, various types of spotting, and scab. The active ingredient in this chemical works as follows:

After treatment, difenoconazole quickly spreads throughout all plant tissues;
after this, it begins to disrupt the permeability of the cell membranes of the mycelium;
Under the influence of the active component, sporulation ceases and the mycelium dies.

Calculation of consumption and rules of use

The instructions supplied by the manufacturer with the fungicide indicate the application rates for each plant species and the best time to apply the product.

Flower crops

Flower crops are treated with a chemical against powdery mildew and gray mold. Treatments are administered at two-week intervals when the first signs of disease appear. To kill powdery mildew pathogens, dissolve one ampoule of the product in 10 liters of settled water. For gray mold, use two ampoules of 2 ml each. This amount of working solution is sufficient to treat 100 square meters of flowerbed.

Sugar beet

To combat bacterial leaf spot and Alternaria, use a dosage of 4 ml (2 ampoules) per 10-liter bucket of water. Apply the prepared solution to the beds twice, separated by a 14-day interval. It's best to apply this solution in the morning or evening, out of direct sunlight.

Apple tree, pear tree

To treat fruit trees against powdery mildew and scab, use a dosage of 2 ml per 10 liters of water. Apply before and after flowering, keeping a two-week interval. Pour 2 to 5 liters of the solution under each tree, depending on the age of the tree. To treat Alternaria blight, use a dosage of 3 ml per 10-liter bucket of water.

Ornamental shrubs

Ornamental shrubs in the garden are often affected by various types of spotting and powdery mildew. To kill the pathogens, prepare a working solution of 10 liters of settled water and 5 ml of fungicide. This amount of solution is sufficient to treat 100 square meters of garden space. A maximum of four treatments are allowed per growing season, with two-week intervals between each.

Potato

Potato plantations are sprayed with a working solution consisting of 4 ml of the chemical and 10 liters of water. A minimum of 14 days must be allowed between treatments.
