Pathogenic fungi cause most agricultural crop diseases, leading to significant yield losses. Timely treatment of vegetable crops, fruit trees, and vineyards with the Poliram fungicide, according to the instructions, provides reliable protection against various types of fungal infections throughout the season.

Composition, existing forms of release and what it is intended for

The active ingredient metiram is the main component of the product. Each kilogram contains 700 grams of fungicide. "Poliram" is produced in the form of water-soluble granules in the following packaging:

foil or polyethylene bags of 1 kilogram and 200 grams;
20 gram sachets, packed in a cardboard box of 5 pieces;
10 kilogram plastic bags.

This fungicide is designed for treating potatoes, tomatoes, apples, pears, and grapes to prevent various fungal infections. "Poliram" is used to protect plants from the following types of mycoses:

late blight;
downy mildew;
Alternaria;
spotting;
anthracnose;
scab;
rust.

Thanks to its broad spectrum of action and the ability to be used on various crops, Poliram is rightfully considered a universal preventative fungicide.

Mechanism of action

The drug has a contact protective effect due to the active ingredient in its composition. Metiram belongs to the class of dithiocarbamates. The substance inhibits enzymatic complexes in fungal cells, disrupting the pathogen's key physiological processes. As a result, fungal spores lose their ability to germinate.

Pros and cons

"Poliram" has clear advantages when used rationally and a number of limitations.

Pros and cons

active preventive action;

rapid onset of effect;

preservation of fungicidal activity for up to 3 weeks;

preventing the development of resistance in fungal agents;

absence of phytotoxic properties;

low risk to pollinating insects;

granular form convenient for dosing and use.

limitation of use to prophylactic purposes;

the need for repeated treatments;

high degree of toxicity to humans.

The lack of a systemic effect deprives Poliram of resistance to adverse weather conditions, which must be taken into account when planning work.
