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

Infection of crops with pathogenic fungi often causes crop losses. Today, in the arsenal of farmers there are effective, safe means for the treatment and prevention of common diseases. Scalpel is a fungicide with a wide spectrum of antimycotic activity that provides plants with long-term protection against infections without exhibiting phytotoxic properties.

Composition and release form of the fungicide

The active composition of the drug is represented by a triazole compound - flutriafol, the amount of which is 250 grams per 1 liter of the total volume of the mixture."Scalpel" is available in the form of a concentrated suspension, packaged in plastic containers with screw caps of 5 liters.

The principle of action of the drug "Scalpel"

The drug acts systemically, penetrating into plant tissues and rapidly spreading acropetally. The flutriafol molecule geometrically corresponds to the center of the protein responsible for the assembly of ergosterol. The result of the interaction is a violation of the synthesis of styrenes in the cell membrane of the pathogen and the suppression of the development of mycelium. Flutriafol also has a fumigating effect.

Fungicide "Scalpel" has a deep and persistent therapeutic and prophylactic effect, ensuring the death of fungi on diseased plants and long-term (up to 6 weeks) protection from primary and re-contamination.

When is it used?

A drug active against aerogenic and soil infections is used for antifungal treatment of plantings of wheat and barley (spring and winter shoots), as well as sugar beet.

"Scalpel" is used for the treatment and prevention of the following crop diseases:

• rust;
• septoria;
• spotting;
• fusarium ear damage;
• rhynchosporiasis;
• cercosporosis;

Fungicide instructions

"Scalpel" is intended for treatment of plantings by spraying plants with freshly prepared aqueous dilution of the concentrate suspension.

This primary dilution is then dissolved in a spray tank filled with a third of the total volume of water. Mixing thoroughly, add the remaining water to the tank.

During irrigation, it is recommended to continue stirring the solution to evenly distribute the suspension particles.

Spray crops of cereals at the beginning of the heading stage, in case of application against head fusarium - during the heading period. Sugar beet plantings are sprayed when the first signs of infection appear. Re-treatment is possible after 2 weeks.

"Scalpel" remains active in conditions of low air temperature (the lower threshold is +5 °C). Weather resistance is established 2 hours after work.
