Fungicide Eminent: instructions for use and composition, dosage and analogues

Manufacturers of plant protection chemicals against diseases and insects are constantly developing new drugs to prevent pathogens from developing resistance to their effects. Eminent, a new generation fungicide, has many advantages over old-style preparations, due to which farmers prefer it, despite its rather high cost. Before using the chemical, it is important to read the instructions.

Active ingredients and release form of the product

The new generation fungicide contains a single active ingredient called tetraconazole from the chemical class of triazoles. In 1 liter of a chemical agent, its concentration is 125 grams.

Eminent is produced by Sumiagro in the form of an aqueous solution, which is poured into 5 liter plastic canisters.

How Eminent works

The active substance of the fungicidal preparation is characterized by high penetrating ability, due to which it is instantly absorbed by the tissues of cultivated plants after treatment and is distributed evenly in all parts, without concentrating in any one place. The principle of a detrimental effect on pathogenic microorganisms is to block a substance called ergosterol, which is responsible for the basic life processes of the causative agent of a fungal disease.

Since the active component of the chemical does not have a negative impact on the growth and development of a cultivated plant, it can be used at any growing season.

Fungicide Purposes

Eminent was developed for the treatment and prevention of diseases affecting wheat and sugar beet crops. It effectively destroys pathogens such as powdery mildew, septoria, brown and yellow rust, cercosporosis and phomosis.

Due to the unique active component of the fungicide, it can be used in the early stages of crop development without the risk of harming the plant, and also as a preventive measure if the weather conditions are favorable for the development of diseases.

From the indisputable advantages of the new generation drug, farmers highlight:

• no negative impact on beneficial microorganisms living in the soil;
• high penetrating power;
• no resistance after chemical application;
• no effect on the vital processes of cultivated plants;
• possibility to use with contact fungicides and supplement their action;
• low toxicity and danger to humans and animals;
• long period of protective action - about a month;
• possibility of use for both treatment and prevention of diseases;
• uniform distribution of the active substance throughout all tissues of the culture.

Of the shortcomings of the drug, only its rather high cost is noted.

Drug consumption rate

The instructions for use indicate the consumption rates of the fungicide for each cultivated plant and the preferred time for spraying the fields.

From 0.75 to 0.8 liters/400 liters per hectare of field. · from 0.8 to 1 liter of the drug / from 300 to 400 liters per hectare of plantings;

Cultural plant	Pathogen beets	Powdery mildew, cercosporosis and phomosis
	Winter and spring wheat	· pyrenophorosis, septoporiosis;
	· yellow and brown rust, powdery mildew.	· 0.6 to 0.8 liters/300 to 400 liters per hectare of field.

Wheat is planted when the crop is at the booting stage, and sugar beet - throughout the growing season.

Instructions for using the "Eminent" tool

The working solution is prepared immediately before the scheduled treatment so that it does not lose its effectiveness. Half the rate of water is poured into the sprayer tank and the rate of fungicide specified in the instructions is added, mixed until homogeneous. After that, add the remaining water and mix thoroughly again.

Processing is recommended in dry weather, with minimal wind speed, early in the morning or after sunset.

Precautions

The fungicidal drug belongs to the 3rd class of toxicity for humans and animals, that is, moderately hazardous substances. When working with a chemical, you will need to follow basic safety rules. The body is protected with overalls, gloves are put on the hands, and a respirator or mask is also used.

Drug storage

The shelf life of the chemical preparation is 3 years from the date of production, provided that the original packaging is intact and the storage rules are observed. Keep the fungicide in a dark and dry utility room where children and pets do not have access.

Analogues

There is no complete analogue of the fungicide. If necessary, a drug with a similar effect is selected, in which one of the active substances is tetraconazole, for example, Yamato.
