Fungicide Abacus Ultra: instructions for use, consumption rates, mechanism of action

When growing crops, diseases are often encountered. But not every drug helps to quickly cope with the problem. Sometimes you have to try several chemicals to find the one that works. For example, you can use the Abacus Ultra fungicide, having previously studied the instructions for use.

Composition, purpose and form of release of funds

Abacus Ultra is a premium class of chemicals. The main purpose of the drug is to protect crops from various diseases.Also, treatments help to increase the yield and quality of grains. The use of a chemical helps to increase the immunity of the plant.

The chemical is produced in the form of a highly concentrated liquid. The composition includes two active substances. The first is pyraclostrobin. The second chemical is epoxiconazole. Both substances in the fungicide are the same amount. Thanks to these substances, plants do not consume nutrients to fight adverse factors (diseases, bad climate).

Fungicide mechanism of action

Due to the content of epoxiconazole, fungi cannot form cell membranes due to the formation of ergosterol. The mechanism of action is as follows:

First, fungal growth is blocked.
Then they stop developing.

The second component in the composition blocks the formation of mitochondria. Prevents energy from entering cells.

Pros and cons

The benefits of Abacus Ultra include:

The chemical reliably protects crops from fungal diseases.
Increase plant resistance to diseases.
Plants better absorb nitrogen-containing fertilizers.
During prolonged rainfall, the protective film is not washed off.
Increases resistance to cold, drought, adverse climatic conditions.
Improve bean quality and weight.

Of the shortcomings, toxicity to water bodies is distinguished, therefore it is not recommended to use Abacus Ultra next to them.

Preparation of working solution

For the treatment of spring and winter wheat, 1.75 liters of fungicide are used per 1 ha of sown area, diluted in 300 liters of water. Treatments prevent powdery mildew, rust and spotting.

Barley is susceptible to all the same diseases as wheat, so processing is carried out using the same technique.

For spraying corn, the dosage of the drug is increased. "Abacus Ultra" is used once during the growing season. It helps prevent rust, bottom rot and pyrenophorosis.

For the treatment of soybeans use 1.5 liters of the drug per 1 ha. These soybean crops require preventive spraying. This is due to the fact that signs of disease become noticeable when it is no longer possible to cure plants.

The same amount as for soy is used if beets are processed. If brown spots appear on the foliage, treatments are immediately carried out. Spraying is done during the budding period.

How to use the drug

After studying the instructions for use, you can get to work. Use the working solution immediately after its preparation.Even if there is a lot of liquid left, it is not recommended to reuse it. During the growing season, 2-3 treatments are carried out. The drug begins to act after treatment after about 35-40 days. After spraying, do not touch the plants or eat fruits for about 3-5 days.
