The widespread use of fungicides in agriculture has made it possible to effectively combat plant infections and achieve high yields. When used correctly, these products are completely harmless to humans and the environment, and they do not accumulate in the fruit. For example, using the fungicide "Kupidon" according to the instructions helps protect apple orchards and vineyards from diseases.

Composition and dosage form

The active ingredient in the fungicide "Kupidon" is copper hydroxide. It accounts for 770 grams per liter of the product. It is produced as a wettable powder and packaged in 10-kilogram paper bags with a polyethylene liner.

Operating principle and purpose

This product has a bactericidal and protective effect. Based on its penetration method, it is classified as a contact pesticide. It is used to protect grapes from mildew and is also used to treat apple trees for the prevention and treatment of moniliosis and apple scab.

Important: not for use in private gardens.

The advantages of the drug include:

economical use;
high efficiency of preventive and therapeutic treatments;
ease of preparation of working solution;
cost of fungicide.

"Kupidon" has a bactericidal effect; spraying is effective against many fungal diseases of apple trees and protects grapes from mildew. Copper cations bind amino and hydroxyl groups, slowing and blocking the metabolism of fungal tissue. After spraying, it provides a rapid effect, preventing pathogen growth in tissues, which causes the death of the fungus. Preventative treatment prevents the onset and development of infection.

Do not exceed the powder dosage when preparing the working solution. It is used for aerial spraying of orchards and vineyards. Four sprays are required per season. When used according to the manufacturer's instructions, it is safe for humans and insects.

Flow calculation and instructions for use

The working solution is prepared before use and should not be stored for more than 24 hours. To prepare it, pour 1/3 of the calculated amount of water into the tank with the mixer running, then add the required amount of fungicide (wetting powder), and add the remaining water, continuing to stir. The prepared solution is then used to fill the sprayers.
