• mesh spotting;
• anthracnose;
• cercosporosis;
• powdery mildew and other fungal diseases;
• alternariosis.

Cyproknazol has a protective and healing effect on plants. Thanks to him, the chemical is highly soluble in water. Quickly penetrates the leaves (half an hour after processing). Then it moves to all parts of the plant.

Epoxiconazole has a preventive effect. After spraying, it quickly penetrates into plant tissues through the leaves and mixes with other parts. Of the benefits of this substance, activity is distinguished both in cold and warm weather.
