Rizoplan: instructions for use and composition of the fungicide, dosage and analogues

Biopreparations for protecting plants from fungal and other diseases are especially popular with gardeners due to their natural composition. Unlike products containing chemicals, they act more slowly, but do not harm the soil and human he alth. The use of "Rizoplan" in household plots and fields allows you to avoid diseases such as root rot, vascular bacteriosis and oidium.

Composition and release form of the fungicide

The biological fungicide "Rizoplan" is produced on the basis of living cells of Pseudomonas fluorescens. These soil bacteria effectively destroy the pathogens of most fungal diseases that affect cultivated plants. Their concentration in the fungicidal preparation is 1 billion CFU/ml.

The biological product goes on sale in the form of a liquid solution, which must be diluted in water before use. "Rizoplan" is packaged in plastic canisters with a volume of 5 liters. The manufacturer of the biological preparation is the domestic company "Biopesticides" LLC.

When used and how it works

Biopreparation is designed for pre-sowing treatment of seed material, seedling roots before planting soil and crops throughout the growing season. Thanks to live microorganisms, the agent effectively destroys pathogens such as mildew and oidium in grapes, blackleg and vascular bacteriosis in cabbage, clamp rot in sugar beets, septoria and root rot in cereals, late blight in potatoes.

The preparation based on live bacteria is characterized not only by bactericidal and fungicidal actions, but also stimulates the growth of cultivated plants.

The instructions for use indicate in which cases it is advisable to use "Rizoplan":

• dressing and preparation for planting seeds of grain and vegetable crops;
• treatment of potato tubers before planting in the ground;
• root irrigation of plants throughout the growing season;
• treatment of soil and greenhouse structures after harvest;
• irrigation of indoor ornamental plants.

After entering the tissues of a cultivated plant, the biofungicide begins to depress pathogenic microorganisms, which leads to their death.

Gardeners attributed the following to the advantages of Rizoplan:

• increases the yield of cereals and vegetables by 10%;
• stimulates plant immunity and resistance to adverse weather conditions;
• increases protein content in grain up to 20% and improves its quality;
• used at any stage of crop vegetation;
• contributes to the saturation of the soil with beneficial microorganisms and restores fertility;
• does not lead to the development of resistance, so the fungicide can be used for several consecutive seasons;
• used in tank mixes with almost all chemicals, with the exception of products containing mercury;
• promotes sustainable vegetables.
