We'll also discuss the precautions to take when using it, the combinations it should be used with, the storage conditions, and its shelf life.
Composition and release forms
The manufacturer of the seed treatment "Deposit"—Shchelkovo Agrokhim—produces the product as a microemulsion in 5-liter canisters and tablets. The active ingredients are imazalil and fludioxonil at a concentration of 40 g per liter and metalaxyl at a concentration of 30 g per liter.
Operating principle
"Deposit" is a systemic contact seed treatment. Its active ingredients belong to different chemical classes, but act in a complex manner. The product is exceptionally gentle on crops and has a pronounced growth-stimulating effect.
Fludioxonil is a contact fungicide that is effective against a wide range of pathogens and has a long protective period. It is not absorbed by seedlings, but protects the root growth zone from fungi, particularly Fusarium rot. Imazalil provides local root protection. It works by inhibiting ergosterol synthesis, a substance that affects the permeability of pathogen cell membranes.
Purpose
The fungicide "Deposit" is a seed treatment used on soybeans, chickpeas, peas, and potato tubers to combat infections that can occur on the surface of seeds and tubers and in the soil. It eliminates root rot, fusarium, ascochyta, and cercospora leaf spot, and prevents seed mold. Potatoes are treated against rhizoctonia and fusarium.
Flow calculation and instructions for use
The dosage of "Deposit" seed treatment is the same for soybeans, peas, and chickpeas: 1-1.2 liters per ton of seeds. For potatoes, the dosage is 0.25-0.4 liters per ton. Liquid consumption is 6-8 liters per ton, and 10 liters per ton for tubers. Seeds are treated before sowing or within a year before. There is no waiting period.
Precautionary measures
"Deposit" is classified as a moderately toxic product (hazard class 3). It should not be used near bodies of water to avoid toxic effects on their inhabitants.
When working with the product, wear protective clothing, gloves, goggles, and a respirator. These items are necessary to protect your face and body from any solution that may come into contact with them.
After treatment, wash your hands and face with soap and water, wash your clothes, and dry them. Rinse any areas of the body where the solution has come into contact with clean water. If the solution is ingested and symptoms develop, perform gastric lavage with activated charcoal. If severe intoxication develops, seek immediate medical attention.
