Fungal diseases of agricultural crops pose a significant challenge to farmers. Today, a proven fungicide, Pergado, effectively combats them. This product not only protects a variety of crops, from fruit trees to vegetables, but also controls the spread of the disease. To use Pergado successfully and correctly, carefully read the instructions.

Composition, existing forms of release and purpose

The fungicide is available as water-soluble granules in packages of 5 kg and larger for industrial use. The active ingredients are oxychloride at a concentration of 240 g/kg and mandipropamid at a concentration of 250 g/kg. Pergado is used to protect fruit and vegetable crops, as well as grapes, from bacterial diseases, powdery mildew, and downy mildew.

Mechanism of action

It is recommended to spray plants with a fungicide solution during the early stages of growth, as well as after flowering and fruit set. Pergado forms a thin protective film at the base of the leaf, preventing the disease from infecting it. It prevents spore germination, slows the progression of the disease within 24 hours of infection, and also inhibits the release of new spores from affected areas.

How to prepare a working solution

Pergado is diluted at a ratio of 35 g per 10 liters of room-temperature water. First, mix the high-potency solution with 5 liters of water until the substance is completely dissolved. Then, add the remaining water and fill the sprayer tank. Now you're ready to begin spraying.

Instructions for use

The fungicide is most active during the growing season. For vegetables, this is when the first pair of true leaves forms. For fruits, this is during the fruit-setting season. For grapes, this is after flowering.

The working solution is used in the temperature range from +5 to +30 degrees.

The optimal temperature is considered to be 22-24 degrees Celsius. The next treatment is carried out after 14-21 days. In case of dust storms, prolonged heat waves, or hail, the crop can be sprayed again earlier.

Safety precautions at work

Work with fungicide only while wearing a mask, protective clothing, gloves and wide-glasses.
There should be no people or animals near the treatment area.
Spraying should be carried out only in windless weather.
Keep the substance away from food and cosmetics.
Hide from children.
Use near water bodies and pastures is prohibited.

In addition, the harvest can be collected no earlier than the specified time from the last treatment.
