Protivatel Alpha: instructions for use for seeds, dosage and analogues

Preplant seed treatment is an important agrotechnical stage that ensures the formation of reliable protection for future seedlings from common infections already at the stage of preparation. Seed protectant "Alpha" is a combined fungicidal agent. The drug is widely used in agriculture when growing a number of grains and oilseeds for the treatment and prevention of plant mycoses.

Composition and release form of seed treater

The composition of the drug "Alpha" is represented by an effective combination of active ingredients - imazalil and tebuconazole in amounts of 100 grams and 60 grams, respectively, per 1 liter of the total volume of the mixture.

Protector "Alpha" is available in the form of a fluid suspension concentrate, packaged in five-liter plastic canisters with screw caps.

Mechanism of action of "Alpha"

The two-level mechanism of action of the drug is due to the effects of the active substances included in the composition. Imazalil blocks the assembly of sterols in the cell membrane of pathogenic fungi, provokes the destruction of membrane structures. Tebuconazole is a systemic fungicide with medicinal and protective properties. It has a specific effect on rust pathogens, is active against rot, mold, and smut. The compound works at the membrane-cellular level, inhibiting the formation of ergosterol in the membrane of fungal cells.

Alpha fungicide is effective against the following crop diseases:

• rust;
• various types of smut;
• basal, root, seed rot;
• powdery mildew;
• mold;
• fusarium;
• alternariosis;
• ascochitosis;
• helminthosporiasis;
• peronosporosis;
• net spotting.

The combination of active ingredients in the Alfa disinfectant allows the use of the drug to eradicate pathogens and create antifungal protection after seed germination without the formation of resistance to the composition.

Fungicide used for seed treatment:

• rye;
• wheat;
• barley;
• corn;
• sunflower;
• canola;
• soy.

"Alpha" accelerates seed germination, stimulates the physiological development of seedlings, improves the quality and quantity of the crop.

How to use the tool correctly

Seeds are treated with Alfa fungicide 1-2 weeks before planting. The pickling process is carried out semi-wet mechanically. To soak the material, it is necessary to prepare a working solution, which is an aqueous dilution of the concentrate. The standard dose of the drug is 0.4 liters per 1 ton of seeds.

To prepare a working fluid, you need to dissolve the calculated dose of Alpha concentrate in half of the total volume of water and mix thoroughly. Before measuring the suspension, shake the drug canister to ensure an even distribution of the particles of the mixture.

The remaining half of the water is poured into the tank of the dressing machine and the prepared primary dilution is added with constant stirring. The empty container is rinsed with a solution, which is poured into the pickling tank.The working fluid is used for its intended purpose immediately after the preparation of the dilution.

Before loading into the tank, the seeds are calibrated and cleaned of debris. The breeding consumption rate is 10 liters per 1 ton of planting material.

Use safety

Work with the drug is carried out in accordance with the rules for handling a substance that poses a danger to human he alth.

Technique for safe work with Alpha includes:

• restriction of access to the working area of third parties and animals;
• use of a protective suit that excludes direct contact of the agent with open areas of the body;
• use of personal protective equipment (respirator, rubber gloves, goggles or face shield);
• mechanized work with the use of dressing machines;
• disposal of used containers and spent solution in accordance with the requirements for the destruction of chemically hazardous substances.

During the work it is forbidden to eat, drink, smoke. If signs of poisoning occur, it is necessary to remove the victim from work, take him to fresh air and give an enterosorbent (1 gram of activated carbon per 10 kilograms of body weight) with plenty of drinking water.
