Growing vegetables and berries is a favorite pastime of summer residents and gardeners. But in order to grow a healthy plant, it is important to provide it with regular care and protection from various diseases and pests. For this purpose, fungicides are used, which effectively protect the crop from pathogenic microorganisms and fight fungal diseases.

One of these is Kurzat. Let's consider its characteristic features and instructions for using the fungicide.

Characteristics

Kurzat is a highly effective contact fungicide, which is intended for the protection, prevention and treatment of many crops from fungal diseases. The product has a quick action and long-lasting effect, which distinguishes it from other similar drugs.

The fungicide is effective in combating the following diseases:

mildew;
late blight;
dry spotting;
peronosporosis.

Kurzat has little effect on pathogens that cause root diseases.

The drug is available in the form of a soluble blue-green powder. It is packaged in paper bags of 1 and 5 kg and in small bags of 15 g. For one hectare you will need about 400-600 liters of working solution, or 2-3 kilogram packages of powder.

The domestic analogue of Kurzat is the fungicide Ordan.

Mechanism of action

Kurzat is a modern new generation fungicide, which consists of two active ingredients:

Copper oxychloride – 690 g/kg. Creates a protective film on the surface of the plant and protects it from parasitic fungi.
Cymoxanil – 42 g/kg. Penetrates into leaves and stems, rapidly spreads throughout all plant tissues and has a detrimental effect on pathogens.

The multidirectional effects of the active components of Kurzat reduce the likelihood of pathogenic fungi becoming accustomed to the fungicide, which makes it possible to use it for several years.

The biologically active substance needs from 1 to 6 hours in order to provide the plant with protection and stop the increase in the number of infected cells. The disease begins to recede, and after 1-2 days a complete cure occurs. Therefore, many gardeners and gardeners prefer the Kurzat fungicide.

Attention! The drug retains its effect for about 30 days after spraying, even during precipitation.

Advantages

Fungicide Kurzat has a number of positive aspects:

Provides plants with double protection – internal and external;
The drug can be used for several years, as it is not addictive to pathogenic fungi.
High effectiveness of preventive treatments and effectiveness of the substance in the first days of infection.
Quick effect, changes are noticeable 1-2 days after treatment.
Capable of reliably protecting the plant from pathogenic fungi for up to 30 days, even after rain.
Safe for animals, humans and plants.
Improves the quality of the crop.

Kurzat combines many advantages and high efficiency at an affordable price.

Flaws

Negative aspects of the fungicide:

Compared to similar drugs, Kurzat has a higher consumption.
The paper packaging is inconvenient for storage; when opening, the powder can accidentally spill, so you need to be careful.
During the rainy season, an increase in the number of treatments is required.

The advantages compensate for the disadvantages, so they can be called insignificant.

Preparation of the solution

Before spraying, it is necessary to clean and prepare the tanks, hoses, and spray bottle. Depending on the type of crop and the size of the cultivated area, you need to determine the required amount of fungicide.

Kurzat working fluid should be prepared immediately before use. The powder is dissolved in a small volume of water, and then added to the required amount. During spraying, the fungicide solution is stirred periodically.

The number of treatments may vary depending on the clinical picture of the disease. Experts recommend no more than four sprayings per season. Under stable weather conditions without precipitation, preventive treatments should be carried out at intervals of 11-13 days. In rainy weather, the interval between sprayings should be reduced to 8-9 days.

Kurzat fungicide is diluted according to the attached instructions for use. Depending on the type of crop, from 30 to 60 g of substance per 10 liters is used to prepare the working fluid.

Grape

In early spring, the grapevine may be affected by downy mildew or mildew. Yellow spots form on the leaves, and underneath them there is a white fluffy coating. Berries and flowers shrivel.

To prevent and treat the disease at an early stage, prepare a solution based on 10 liters of water and 30 g of Kurzat powder.It is thoroughly stirred until the fungicide dissolves. In one season, the event can be held no more than 4 times with an interval of 10 days. One month before harvesting, do not spray.

Tomatoes

From year to year, tomatoes are affected by late blight, which can destroy the entire crop in a few days. Fruits, leaves and stems become covered with dark spots that quickly spread throughout the plant.

To prevent the occurrence of this disease, the plant must be sprayed with a solution of the Kurzat drug according to the instructions for use. To do this, thoroughly mix 50 g of fungicide in 10 liters of water. Preventative treatment should be carried out twice per season. After 10-11 days the process is repeated. Consumption – 50 ml per 1 m². At least 12 days must pass from the date of the last spraying to harvesting the tomatoes.

Potato

Potatoes can also experience late blight, which affects both the green mass and the tubers. Brown spots spread throughout the plant and the tissue dies.

One of the methods for preventing the disease is treatment with Kurzat fungicide. To do this, 50 g of the substance is dissolved in 10 liters of water. The resulting liquid is sprayed onto the potato bush up to 3 times per season with an interval of 11 days. Consumption for open ground 100 ml/m², for closed -160-200 ml/m². Potatoes should be dug no earlier than 12 days after the last spraying.

cucumbers

Cucumbers are vulnerable to downy mildew, which mercilessly destroys green foliage and delays the process of fruit formation and development. The disease can lead to the death of the plant.

Timely prevention with the use of a fungicide will save the plantings. According to the attached instructions for use, 30 g of Kurzat R powder should be diluted in 10 liters of water.Spray the cucumbers with the prepared solution three times with an interval of 10 days. Two weeks after the last treatment, you can harvest the fruits.

Onion

Onions are also susceptible to downy mildew, which can affect them at any stage of development. The above-ground part of the plant is covered with a purple coating, then rusty spots appear and the feathers begin to rot.

If a disease is detected, the plant must be sprayed with Kurzat fungicide according to the instructions. To do this, 60 g of dry matter should be dissolved in 10 liters of warm water. It is recommended to carry out the procedure every 10 days no more than 4 times throughout the entire season. You can start collecting vegetables no earlier than 15 days after the last treatment.

Compatibility with other drugs

For greater effectiveness, Kurzat can be used in combination with other products. But before that, you should check them for compatibility.

To check the compatibility of substances, they need to be mixed and filled with water. If a precipitate forms, the drugs are incompatible.

Attention! It is not advisable to mix Kurzat with alkaline preparations and emulsion concentrates.

Security measures

The drug Kurzat does not have a toxic effect on cultivated plants. Harmless to humans, animals and bees. If you follow the instructions and standards for applying the substance, it is allowed to cultivate fields around apiaries and fish ponds.

Reviews from summer residents

Elena, 40 years old, Ufa

When the potato bushes began to become covered with dark spots, I immediately realized that it was late blight. I purchased Kurzat fertilizer, diluted it according to the instructions and treated the above-ground parts of the plants. But I was disappointed, it did not save me from the disease. The drug was effective only with preventive spraying.

Mikhail, 52 years old, Nizhny Novgorod

Last year we were left without grapes because the bushes were affected by downy mildew. This season we had to resort to chemistry. Kurzat is the same fungicide that helped prevent this attack. It is easy to use and instructions are included with the product. We sprayed the grapes three times with an interval of 10 days.

Conclusion

Kurzat effectively protects vegetable crops and grapes from pathogenic fungi. But we must remember that whatever the fungicide, it is better to use it before external signs of the disease appear or in the first days of infection. It is important to follow the instructions for use and not exceed the indicated dosage.
