Plants in gardens, fields, and vegetable plots are plagued by a huge number of diseases caused by microorganisms such as fungi and bacteria. They are impossible to ignore, as they never go away on their own. Over time, treatment becomes more difficult and protracted. The fungicide Fitolavin, a universal biological product with simple instructions for use, will cure a wide range of diseases on virtually all crops.
Composition, existing forms of release and purpose
Fitolavin is a bacterial fungicide whose active ingredient is phytobacteriomycin in combination with other streptothricin antibiotics. It is packaged as a water-soluble concentrate in 50, 100, and 400 ml bottles and 1- and 5-liter canisters. It is manufactured by the Russian company PharmBioMedService for the protection of crops from pathogenic bacteria and fungi.
How does the drug work?
The fungicide Fitolavin strengthens the plant, allowing it to fight harmful microorganisms on its own. By accelerating metabolic processes in the treated plant, the product strengthens the immune system. Fitolavin fungicide:
- easily penetrates plant tissues;
- active for 9-38 days;
- in recommended doses it is harmless to the cultivated plant.
Pros and cons
The benefits of using the antibiotic Fitolavin outweigh the negative effects. For ease of comparison, it's worth listing these benefits side by side.
Calculation of consumption
It's difficult to predict how much Fitolavin fungicide solution will be needed to treat a specific area of plants. The following factors play a role:
- planting density;
- plant height;
- the volume of the crown or green mass of the crop.
Previous experience with spraying with other products can be helpful. For beginning gardeners, approximate application rates are provided, so it's best to buy a small amount, which is possible thanks to the variety of containers available.
Plant type |
Amount of working mixture |
| Potted crops | Small – 100 ml, woody – 200-300 ml |
| Seedling | 30-45 ml |
| Cereals and vegetables | 20 liters per hundred square meters, 2000 liters per hectare |

Preparation of the working mixture
The manufacturer advises that to prepare a spray solution, add 2 ml of Fitolavin to 1 liter of water. After thoroughly mixing, begin spraying. Shake the solution at least once every five minutes; the larger the sprayer, the longer the shake.

Safety precautions during processing
When handling the antibiotic Fitolavin, do not smoke, eat, or talk. The medication can irritate the skin, so it is recommended to wear gloves and cover the skin as much as possible. If Fitolavin comes into contact with the skin, rinse the affected area thoroughly with water. If Fitolavin gets into the eyes, rinse thoroughly with water while keeping the eyes open. Then consult an ophthalmologist.
How toxic is it?
In rodent experiments, large doses of the fungicide concentrate Fitolavin were fatal. When working in areas where the antibiotic was sprayed, a rash around the mouth, fatigue, and a burning sensation in the mouth may occur.
Possible compatibility
The fungicide Fitolavin should not be used with other antibiotics. They will either increase the drug's toxicity or reduce its therapeutic effect. It is compatible with other chemicals, with the exception of strong alkalis.
How and how long can it be stored?
The shelf life of Fitolavin fungicide is 1 year. Store in a dry, ventilated area, out of reach of children and animals. Store at a temperature of 5-30°C. The prepared fungicide solution must be used promptly.

Fungi and bacteria quickly adapt to Fitolavin. Therefore, it is strongly recommended not to apply the product more than twice in a row. In advanced cases, the following products can be used instead of Fitolavin fungicide:
| Fungicide name | Curable diseases |
| Fitosporin-M | Root rot, black leg |
| Alirin-B | Moniliosis, root rot, trachymosis wilt, alternaria |
