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

Regardless of the nature of the care of fruit trees, over time, the plants show signs of infection. Treatment in this case is carried out with the help of fungicides. Some of these funds are used only as a prevention of infection. In this regard, when fruit trees are infected with a fungus, it is recommended to use Malvin, or a directional fungicide that destroys various types of pathogenic microorganisms.

Composition and release form of contact fungicide "Malvin"

Malvina is based on the active ingredient captan. This component is contained in a concentration of 800 grams per kilogram of the drug. Malvin is produced in the form of granules that dissolve in water. One pack contains 10 kilograms of product.

Principle of action and scope

Kaptan, which is part of "Malvin", is different in that it has a direct and complex effect on fungal life forms of different types. This substance inhibits the metabolism of bacteria, thereby preventing the development of resistance to the drug.

Unlike other fungicides, "Malvin" remains effective regardless of weather conditions. The drug endures temperature fluctuations and does not lose its properties in the rain.

"Malvin" can be used in any period of the growing season of the plant. To prevent infection, the drug is recommended to be applied to fruit crops in early spring, before the formation of the first flowers. The product provides protection to the plant for two weeks after spraying. "Malvin" is recommended for use for treatment and prevention:

• scab and moniliosis on an apple tree;
• clasterosporiasis, moniliosis, leaf curl on peach;
• moniliosis and clasterosporiasis on apricot;
• mildew on grapes.

This drug has no harmful effects on humans and insect pollinators.

Expenditure rate

Due to the fact that the fungicide is produced in the form of granules, the drug must be diluted in water before each spraying. According to the information given in the instructions for "Malvin", the working fluid in the processing of apple trees is consumed in the amount of 1.5 thousand liters per hectare. When spraying grapes, up to a thousand liters of the drug per hectare are used.

Instructions for using the drug

As noted, "Malvin" can be used in all weather conditions. The composition of the drug includes substances that form a dense film on the surface of the treated crop and prevent the agent from being washed off the plant even with heavy rainfall.

When a peach, apple or apricot is affected, the remedy is used as follows:

• first spraying - during the formation of rose buds or a green cone of leaves (depending on the type of disease);
• subsequent - every 8-10 days, until the signs of infection disappear completely.

When grapes are damaged, it is recommended to spray the plant in the phase of inflorescence formation, then every 8-10 days.

In order to prevent infection, plants should be treated in the spring, before flowering. This procedure is recommended to be carried out every year. The drug begins to act immediately after application to the culture. During the first 36 hours after spraying, Malvin controls the development of pathogenic microflora, suppressing the spread of fungi to new areas.

It is forbidden to use a fungicide in cases where flowering weeds sprout next to the affected crops (more than three plants per 1 m2), during the active summer of pollinating insects.Before spraying, such plants need to be mowed. During the active summer of bees, it is recommended to use the fungicide in the morning or in the evening.

Fungicide Safety

"Malvin" after mixing with water does not foam, which simplifies the work with this fungicide. When spraying plants, it is recommended to use sprayers with a droplet size of 125-350 MOD.

Fungicide belongs to the second (medium hazardous) hazard class. This means that in contact with the skin, the drug may cause an allergic reaction. But after penetration into the body, the likelihood of intoxication is lower than with the ingestion of other antifungal drugs.

In order to prevent such consequences when spraying plants, it is recommended to wear gloves and goggles. Other means of protection when working with Malvin will not be required.

Compatibility with other agrochemicals

Malvin can be combined with most commonly used fungicides. However, each time the product is used, it must be checked for compatibility. In order to prevent the development of resistance to powdery mildew, Malvin is recommended to be combined with triazole or strobilurin.

Expiration date and storage conditions

Malvin retains its original properties for three years after release. This fungicide is not allowed to be stored in private households. The drug is used in the industrial cultivation of fruit crops. Store the product in a dry place away from direct sunlight.

What can I replace?

Instead of "Malvina" in the treatment of fungal infections in fruit trees are used:

• Abiga Peak;
• "Chorus";
• Fardi;
• Delan.

Each specified fungicide is different contact action.At the same time, according to the characteristics and method of influence, only Delan is considered a full-fledged replacement for Malvin. "Abiga-Peak" is distinguished by the fact that, in addition to fungal infections, it suppresses bacterial ones, including on vegetable crops, medicinal plants and forest plantations.
