Albit is an indispensable preparation for gardeners, vegetable gardeners and florists. Agronomists use it to improve the quality and volume of the harvest, better seed germination and to neutralize the stressful effects of agrochemicals. The product also effectively protects plants from various fungal diseases. In Russia, Albit is used as a fungicide, antidote and growth regulator.
Features of the drug
The biological product Albit helps to improve soil microflora and provide plants with nutrients. Crops better resist the negative influence of the environment and 10-20% bring more yield. Agricultural enterprises treat wheat fields with the drug to increase gluten in grains. The fungicide has a contact effect on pathogenic fungi.
The drug is available in the form of a flowing paste in 1 liter plastic bottles and in small packages of 1.3, 10, 20 and 100 ml. The substance has a pleasant pine aroma.
Mechanism of action
The active component of Albit is Poly-beta-hydroxybutyric acid. This substance is obtained from beneficial soil bacteria that live on plant roots. The mechanism of action of the substance is based on the activation of the natural and protective reaction of the plant. After treatment with the Albit antidote, agricultural crops become resistant to drought, frost, sudden temperature changes and the negative effects of pesticides. An indicator of stress resistance is an increased content of chlorophyll in plant tissue. Albit promotes the synthesis of salicylic acid. As a result, plants become resistant to many pathogens.

Instructions for use
Pre-sowing treatment of seeds with Albit TPS fungicide is carried out in the absence of internal infection. If present, the drug is recommended to be used in conjunction with other systemic agrochemicals.For effective protection agronomists advise combining seed treatment and spraying of the aboveground part of an adult plant. It is recommended to carry out treatment in the morning or evening in the absence of precipitation. According to the instructions for use, the use of Albit is permitted during the daytime, but only in cool and cloudy weather.
Shake the drug thoroughly before use. The recommended amount of paste is diluted in a small amount of water (1-2 liters). You should get a homogeneous liquid. Stirring constantly, the resulting solution is diluted with water to the required volume. The working composition cannot be stored.
Vegetables
To increase the volume and quality of the harvest, it is recommended to treat the vegetable bed with a solution of the growth regulator Albit. They begin to use it at the seed stage. To soak planting material of tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, zucchini and eggplants, prepare a solution at the rate of 1-2 ml per 1 liter of water. To protect cabbage from damage by vascular bacteriosis, experienced gardeners soak its seeds in a 0.1% solution of the drug for 3 hours. Fungicide consumption – 1 l/kg.
For for treating potato tubers against rhizoctonia and late blight, 100 ml of Albit is diluted in 10 liters of water. Fungicide consumption – 10 l/t. Vegetable beds are sprayed with a solution of 1-2 g of fungicide and 10 liters of water. The first sprinkling is carried out when several leaves appear on the shoots. If necessary, the procedure is repeated two weeks later.
Cereals
Albit fungicide protects wheat from root rot, leaf rust, septoria and powdery mildew.Also prevents the appearance of dark brown and net spot in spring barley. To pickle one ton of grains, 40 ml of Albit are diluted in 10 liters of water. Treated seeds are planted within 1-2 days.
For above-ground spraying, prepare a solution at the rate of 1-2 ml of paste per bucket of water. For air treatment, take 8-16 ml of Albit per 10 liters of water. For the entire season, only 1-2 sprayings are required. The first is carried out during the tillering period, the second - during flowering or heading.
Berries
Gooseberries, black currants, strawberries and raspberries are sprayed with Albit fungicide according to the same scheme: 1 ml of the substance is dissolved in a bucket of water (10 l). According to the instructions, to increase resistance to powdery mildew, shrubs are treated 3 times: the first - during budding, the second and third with an interval of 2 weeks.
To preserve the grape harvest and save it from oidium, the solution is mixed at the rate of 3 ml of Albit per 10 liters of water. Working fluid consumption – 1 l/m2. During the entire growing season, the vineyard is disinfected 4 times: before flowering, during the formation of berries, during the closure of berries, and coloring of the bunches.
Fruit trees
It is recommended to treat plums, peaches, apple trees and pears with the growth regulator Albit to quickly form ovaries and increase the number of fruits. Trees acquire immunity to various pathogenic microorganisms. The crown is sprayed three times: during the formation of inflorescences, after flowering and 14-16 days after the second procedure. To prepare the solution, 1-2 g of paste is diluted in 10 liters of water. One medium-sized tree consumes about 5 liters of working fluid.
Analogues and compatibility with other drugs
