Instructions for use and composition of the fungicide Propuls, dosage and analogues

When combating fungal diseases of crops, it's important to begin spraying crops promptly. The fungicide "Propulse" is also used for preventative and curative purposes. It provides long-lasting and effective protection against rot and fungal diseases. The suspension's components increase crop yields.

Composition and release forms

The drug is available in the form of an emulsion, the active ingredients of which are prothioconazole and fluopyram.

Component characteristics:

• Fluopyram inhibits the respiratory function of fungal mitochondria and exhibits activity against many pathogens. Its effectiveness is visible during the plant's growing season;
• Prothioconazole promotes the development of a strong root system, the growth of vigorous seedlings, and increases plant drought resistance. It is effective in combating many diseases.

The fungicide is packaged in 1-liter plastic canisters.

Mechanism of action

Propuls is a two-component product that inhibits spore germination and mycelial growth. Specifically, prothioconazole disrupts the functionality of pathogen cell membranes, distributing evenly across the plant leaves. Fluopyram blocks respiratory function in fungal mitochondria.

Purpose

The fungicide "Propulse" is used primarily to protect corn, sunflower, rapeseed, and soybeans from fungal diseases. Spraying these crops also provides therapeutic and preventative effects.

Calculation of consumption

Since the working solution is used to treat a variety of crops, it is necessary to adhere to the consumption rates recommended by the manufacturer.

Name of the plant	Type of disease	Consumption rates, l/ha
Winter and spring rape	sclerotinia, alternaria	0.8-1.0
Soybeans	septoria blight, cercospora blight, anthracnose blight, ascochyta blight	0.8-1.0
Corn	Phomopsis, Septoria leaf spot, gray mold, phomosis, white rot	0.9-1.0
Sunflower	leaf spot, bladder smut	0.8-1.0

Terms of Use

When treating plant crops, it is important to follow the manufacturer's recommended instructions for use:

• corn and winter or spring rapeseed crops are sprayed during the growing season when signs of disease appear;
• When signs of disease appear, soybean crops are sprayed during the growing season (before the flowering phase);
• If signs of damage appear, sunflowers are sprayed during the growing season, starting from the budding phase.

Fine-droplet spraying is recommended in the evening. When treating large areas, it's advisable to use self-propelled sprayers.

Precautionary measures

The product can be sprayed by aircraft, but should not be used near water protection zones. The Propulse fungicide is classified as hazard class 3 (for humans and beneficial insects, including bees). However, precautions must be taken during spraying and when preparing the working solution:

• use protective equipment (wear gloves, safety glasses, rubber shoes);
• It is prohibited to eat or smoke during the process of spraying crops;
• It is not advisable to carry out plant treatment work in windy weather.

If the solution gets on the skin or eyes, rinse the affected areas under running water.

Storage conditions

It is recommended to store containers with the suspension in designated dry, ventilated areas. Do not store the fungicide in the same room with food or animal feed. The emulsion has a shelf life of three years from the date of manufacture.

What to replace it with

To destroy fungal diseases, other drugs can be used for therapeutic and preventive purposes.

1. The two-component fungicide "Prozaro" has a therapeutic and preventative effect on plants, acts quickly, providing long-term protection against pathogens.
2. The Lamador preparation is non-phytotoxic and has a positive effect on cultivated plants. Seed treatment increases drought resistance and winter hardiness.
3. The three-component fungicide "Soligor" is fast-acting and provides plant protection from diseases.

The components of Propulse provide a variety of effects (therapeutic and protective) on crops. Timely spraying prevents the emergence and spread of fungal diseases. These measures help increase crop yields.
