Instructions for use and composition of the fungicide Strekar, application rates and analogues

Bacterial and fungal infections of agricultural crops, which rapidly destroy plant tissue and wipe out a large portion of the harvest, are becoming a serious problem for farmers and gardeners. A rational solution requires a comprehensive approach. Using the fungicide "Strekar" according to the instructions allows for resolution of even mixed or difficult-to-diagnose plant diseases.

What is included in the composition, existing forms of release and the purpose of the product

The unique composition of the drug includes the following active compounds:

  • carbendazim – 70 grams/1 liter of total mass;
  • phytobacteriomycin – 25 grams/1 liter of mixture mass.

"Strekar" is produced as a concentrate in the form of a paste. It is sold in plastic containers of 500 grams, 1 kilogram, and 2 kilograms.

Purpose of the product

"Strekar" is capable of destroying bacterial and fungal pathogens, enhancing plant resistance and defenses. The product is used to combat the following diseases:

  • Fusarium wilt;

How does a fungicide work?

The active ingredients of Strekar complement and enhance each other's effects, giving the systemic-contact preparation therapeutic and protective-prophylactic properties, as well as the ability to increase plant resistance to infections.

Phytobacteriomycin is a streptothricin antibiotic that disrupts protein synthesis in bacterial cells. The substance circulates in tissues, boosting plant immunity, and maintains its effect for an average of 3-4 weeks.

Carbendazim is a benzimidazole compound with pronounced antifungal activity against many types of pathogenic fungi. It acts systemically, penetrating plant tissue and inhibiting the cell division of fungal agents. Carbendazim's adhesive properties provide long-lasting protection to treated crops. The combination of a powerful antifungal agent and an antibiotic in Strekar effectively combats infection and reduces the number of crop treatments.

To prepare the paste, use a separate container, first filling it halfway with water. Then add the desired amount of paste, mix thoroughly, and add the remaining water in portions.

Onion

Dose: 2 grams per 1 liter of water. Apply by spraying up to three times per season to eliminate and prevent root rot and bacterial diseases.

Tomato

Dosage: 2 grams/1 liter for greenhouse cultivation; 4 grams/1 liter for tomatoes grown outdoors. Start with spraying or root watering 30 days after transplanting to a permanent location.

Seed treatment

Pre-treatment of seeds is a rational way to prevent contamination of the material with bacteria and fungal spores.

Dose: 20 grams per 1 liter of water. Soak the seeds in the prepared solution for 5 hours, then rinse and begin sowing.

Potato

Dosage: 1.5 grams per 1 liter of water. "Strekar" protects tubers from fusarium and prevents rot. Treatment begins one month after planting. Repeat treatments twice more.

Fruit trees

Dose: 1 gram of fungicide per 1 liter of water. Apply by surface spraying before the onset of mass flowering. Autumn preventative treatment is also possible after fruit harvest.

Cucumber

Dosage: 2 grams per 1 liter. Apply by root watering. The first application should be 30 days after planting in the permanent location.

Cereal crops

Pre-soaking the seeds in a fungicide solution is optimal. Alternatively, spray the seedlings with a solution of 1 gram of Strekar paste per 1 liter of water.

Instructions for use

Treatment is carried out with a freshly prepared aqueous dilution. "Strekar" is used for spraying above-ground parts (no more than 2 kilograms of the product per hectare of plantings) or for root irrigation (at a rate of 8 kilograms per hectare, reducing the consumption to 6 kilograms per hectare with the drip method).

The optimal time for treatment is evening hours. To protect pollinating insects, limit bee flight to 9-12 hours. Treatments should be applied 2 to 4 times per season. When reapplying Strekar fungicide, wait at least 20 days after the previous treatment.

Security measures
