Fungicide Acrobat: instructions for use, mechanism of action, consumption rates

Plant diseases delay the development of garden and horticultural crops, reduce yields. Therefore, the summer resident needs to know how to deal with pathogenic microorganisms that negatively affect the growth of crops, destroying them. Among the fungicides "Acrobat", the instructions for the use of which are often used by gardeners, occupies a leading position.

Composition and release form "Acrobat MC"

The pesticide manufacturer BASF has released a drug, the main components of which actively fight pathogens, penetrating inside and disrupting the biochemical processes of the microorganism. The group of dithiocarbamates is represented by the substance mancozeb. It is in the preparation of 600 grams per kilogram of product.

In combination with mancozeb in the composition of "Acrobat" the active substance is dimethomorph (90 grams / kg), belonging to the chemical group of morpholines. Phenalamide derivative changes the development cycle of a pathogenic fungus.

Preparative form of fungicide - water-dispersible granules. When dissolved, they form a homogeneous suspension.

Pellets are packaged in bags of 1 kilogram, bags - 10 kilograms.

Mechanism of action

The combination of 2 components leads to the death of fungi, spores, stopping the subsequent reproduction of microorganisms. After processing, the active substances penetrate into the plant cells, and also remain on the surface.

The substance mancozeb from the group of dithiocarbamites inhibits the activity of enzymes inside microorganisms. As a result, they have difficulty breathing, the most important redox processes stop.

The toxic effect of a substance is associated with a violation and metabolism of biogenic amino acids.

Dimetamorph penetrates through the cell membranes of the pathogen, preventing the formation of mycelium, disrupting the development cycle of the microorganism. At the same time, new populations of fungi resistant to morpholines form more slowly.

Advantages over analogues

The advantages of the Acrobat MC fungicide include the fact that it works:

• as a preventive and curative agent;
• not allowing new disputes to form;
• without poisoning the environment, insects, humans;
• effective when combined with other fungicides.

There are no restrictions on the use of granules. Although there are more effective analogues, they quickly become addictive. Resistance to Acrobat develops more slowly in fungi.

Preparation of working solution and its application

Choose clear, calm weather for processing plants. This will allow the solution to spread evenly on the leaves and stems, protecting them from fungus.

In a special container, dissolve 20 grams of the product in 5 liters of water. Applying the drug at the beginning of the season, they create protection for potatoes, tomatoes, grapes from a fungal infection.

Processing grapes

Vine plantings must be treated with a mildew preparation three times per season. The break between sprayings is 20 days.

Potatoes

Fungicide spraying is done as a preventive measure. But the appearance of signs of late blight, alternariosis requires treatment with Acrobat. Be sure to spray three times with a break of 15-20 days.

Tomatoes

During the growing season it is necessary to process tomatoes three times. For 100 square meters you will need 4 liters of working solution. After spraying, it is undesirable to work with plants.

Cucumbers

It is also necessary to protect cucumber beds from downy mildew with the preparation "Acrobat". The working solution is sprayed on plants in clear weather in the morning or in the evening in the absence of wind. Spraying frequency is 3-5 times.

Drug toxicity, safety precautions

The drug "Acrobat MC" belongs to the 2nd class of danger to humans. This means that it is necessary to spray it, prepare the working fluid in a respiratory mask, work clothes, protecting hands with rubber gloves, eyes with goggles.

After treatment, wash your hands with soap and water, take a shower, rinse your mouth.

The last spraying is carried out 1.5 months before harvest. And after spraying, you can not work in the garden and garden for 10-15 days.

For bees, the drug is not dangerous, but it is better to use it when the years of insects are limited. Fungicide does not harm earthworms.

Is it compatible with other products

You can determine the compatibility of the drug "Acrobat" with other fungicides, insecticides yourself. To do this, a small amount of granules is mixed with other drugs, stirred. If the precipitate does not dissolve, then the products cannot be used together.

Expiration date and storage conditions

For the storage of pellets use a special room, inaccessible to pets, children. The container must be tightly closed. When a substance combines with oxygen, an explosion can occur. The temperature in the room should not be higher than 20 degrees.

The shelf life of the fungicide is 2 years from the date of release of the product.
