Fungicide Serkadis Plus: instructions for use and composition, dosage and analogues

Serkadis Plus is a two-component fungicidal drug that helps to cope with the main pathologies of apple and pear trees. The product has strong antifungal properties. To use it to give results, you must follow the instructions. Compliance with safety regulations is of no small importance.

Active ingredient and formulation

1 liter contains 2 active ingredients:

• 75 grams xemium;
• 50 grams of difenoconazole.

Preparative form is a suspension concentrate. The product is sold in plastic bottles of 1 liter. There is also a release form in the form of canisters. In such a container, 5 liters of the substance are sold.

Mechanism of action and scope of use

The effectiveness of the substance is associated with the presence of 2 active components in the composition, which reliably protect the plantings. Due to the unique structure of xemium molecules, the substance quickly passes through hydrophilic and lipophilic barriers. This helps to achieve a more effective impact on the target area.

Lipophilic characteristics are typical for the working solution of the drug. Due to this, it is firmly associated with the wax layer located on the surface of the leaves. In this case, xemium molecules accumulate to form crystalline depots. Rain or dew activate portions of active ingredients from crystalline deposits.

The constant supply of active molecules to the xemimum culture structure gives complete and lasting protection.This effect is achieved even with constant moistening of the leaves. After entering the culture structure, the active components rapidly spread in an acropetal way. This helps protect new growth.

Difenoconazole is a well-known triazole. It has a wide spectrum of activity. The substance is absorbed by all fragments of the culture and quickly begins its action. Difenoconazole is a fungicidal agent that is used to control various pathologies. This substance helps prevent disease by inhibiting dimethylation during the synthesis of ergosterol cell membranes.

3 weeks after treatment, Serkadis Plus gives the maximum effect compared to similar substances. This makes it possible to reduce the number of fungicide applications.

The tool is highly effective and helps to contain and control the development of various pathologies. These include:

• scab;
• powdery mildew;
• stem and root rot;
• alternariosis.

• quick action and the ability to stop the development of the disease;
• high efficiency in pathology control;
