Among the many fungicides, Bayleton is in wide demand. The product is preventive and therapeutic. Bayleton fungicide is used to protect grain and garden crops from scab, rot, and various types of fungi. Gardeners use the product to treat fruit and berry plantings. The validity period varies from two to four weeks, depending on the weather.
Compound
Bayleton is considered a systemic fungicide. The active ingredient is triadimefon. In 1 kg of the drug the concentration is 250 g. The fungicide is produced in the form of a powder or emulsion. The concentration is 25% and 10% respectively. Packaging is carried out in small doses, as well as 1, 5, 25 kg.
Dry powder is poorly soluble in clean water. The best solvent is considered to be a liquid of organic origin. The powder does not dissolve in a 0.1% hydrochloric acid solution for 24 hours.
Action
The drug Bayleton is able to penetrate deeply into plant cells, thereby enhancing the fight against diseases. Absorption occurs in all parts: foliage, root system, fruits, stems. The active substance spreads with the sap of the plant, destroying pathogens.
Bayleton acts instantly immediately after spraying. First of all, the larvae of pests that eat green foliage die. The product works well to kill aphids. However, the drug works effectively together with insecticides.
Main advantages
The following advantages of the drug will help you understand how useful Bayleton fungicide is:
- Lack of phytotoxicity towards sprayed plants. Bayleton is safe if you follow the doses recommended by the manufacturer.
- The study did not reveal the addiction of pathogenic microorganisms to the active substance. Bayleton can be used repeatedly.
- Excellent combination with many fungicides and insecticides. However, before use, the two drugs are mixed and tested for reaction. If the formation of bubbles, turbidity of the liquid or other reactions are observed, then the products are not compatible.
- The release forms are convenient for use. A gardener can buy powder or emulsion, and in a suitable volume.
- Bayleton is considered harmless to living organisms when used correctly. There may be an apiary, a pond, poultry and animals nearby. The safety class fungicide is low toxic for beneficial insects.
- The manufacturer does not indicate any special restrictions on the use of the fungicide.
If the instructions for Bayleton fungicide are followed, the drug will not harm humans or the environment.
Rules for preparing the solution and using the drug
Fungicides can be stored for a long time in their original packaging, but the shelf life of the working solution quickly expires. The powdered product or emulsion is diluted at the work site and immediately before it begins.
First, the concentrated drug Bayleton weighing 1 g is dissolved in a small amount of water, no more than 1 liter. The liquid is thoroughly mixed. After complete dissolution, add water, bringing the working solution to the volume recommended in the instructions. The sprayer bottle is refilled away from sources of water, food products, and pet habitats. After shaking the container with the solution several times, begin pumping with air.
When using Bayleton fungicide, the instructions for use state that it is enough to make two treatments per season. The number of sprays depends on the type of crop being treated. If this is not prevention, take into account the infection of the plant. Spray any crop during the growing season. For work, choose clear, dry weather without wind.
On large farms, after spraying with the drug, it is allowed to carry out work using mechanized equipment at least three days later. You can work on the site with hand tools after seven days.
Dosage of the drug for different types of crops
All application rates for each specific crop are indicated by the manufacturer on the fungicide packaging. You shouldn't back down from them. A weak solution will not be beneficial, and an excess of the drug increases the risk of toxic damage to plants and humans.
The dose for popular crops is as follows:
- Cereals. For these crops, the consumption of the concentrated preparation varies from 500 to 700 g per 1 ha. In terms of working solution, the consumption is about 300 liters per 1 ha. The duration of the protective effect is up to 20 days.
- Corn. To treat a plantation of 1 hectare, it will take up to 500 g of concentrated substance. The volume of the working solution ranges from 300 to 400 liters.
- Cucumbers growing outdoors. The consumption rate of the concentrated preparation is from 60 to 120 g per 1 ha. It will take from 400 to 600 liters of working solution to process a plantation of a similar area. The protective effect of Bayleton fungicide lasts at least 20 days. To optimally protect cucumbers from powdery mildew, plantings are sprayed up to four times per season.
- Cucumbers growing in heated and unheated greenhouses. Concentrate consumption for a plot of 1 hectare varies from 200 to 600 g. In terms of working solution, it will take from 1000 to 2000 liters to treat a similar area. The duration of the protective effect is only 5 days.
- Tomatoes growing in heated and cold greenhouses. The consumption rate of the concentrated substance is from 1 to 2.5 kg per plot of 1 hectare. The working solution for the same area requires from 1000 to 1500 liters. The protective effect lasts about 10 days.
Consumption rates for Bayleton for other crops can be found in the fungicide instructions on the original packaging.
Other characteristics of the drug
Regarding other characteristics of Bayleton, it is worth focusing on phytotoxicity. The fungicide does not have a negative effect on all sprayed crops, provided the dosage is observed. Accidentally increasing the rate will cause phytotoxicity in vineyards as well as apple trees.
Bayleton's resistance was not revealed during the study. However, you should not deviate from the rules for using the fungicide, or change the recommended dosage without permission.
Bayleton is compatible with other pesticides. Before mixing, a preliminary test is carried out for each individual preparation.
Safety rules when working with the drug
Bayleton belongs to the third class of hazard chemicals. The fungicide can be used without restrictions in sanitary zones where reservoirs, fish farms, and rivers are located.
The safe use of Bayleton fungicide is stipulated in the following rules:
- The fungicide is harmless to beneficial insects. However, on the day of treatment of the plantings, it is necessary to limit the flight of bees in the apiary to 20 hours. It is recommended to adhere to the border protection zone up to 3 km.
- The working fluid is prepared directly on the treated area. If this is done in a private yard, then refueling the sprayer and other preparatory work is carried out as far as possible from sources of drinking water, outbuildings with animals and living quarters.
- When working with a fungicide, it is unacceptable for the drug to get into the digestive organs, eyes, or open areas of the body. When spraying, do not inhale the water mist created by the sprayer. It is optimal to protect yourself with a respirator, goggles, gloves and protective clothing.
- After finishing spraying with fungicide, gloves are not removed from hands. First, they are washed in water with the addition of baking soda. A five percent solution completely neutralizes fungicide residues on gloves.
- In case of Bayleton poisoning, the person is taken to fresh air. Be sure to remove all protective equipment, including protective clothing, and call a doctor.
- While working in wet workwear, Bayleton's solution will seep through the fabric onto the body. If visible wet spots are detected, wash the body area with soapy water. If the solution gets into your eyes, rinse for a long time under running water.
- If a solution or concentrate of a fungicide gets into the digestive organs, an emetic effect must be immediately caused. A person is given to drink 2 glasses of water with the addition of activated carbon at the rate of 1 g/1 kg of body weight. Seeing a doctor is mandatory.
If all safety rules are followed, Bayleton will not cause harm to humans or the surrounding flora and fauna.
