With high humidity and frequent precipitation, many pathogenic microorganisms are activated on vegetables and fruit trees. Traditional methods of dealing with them are labor-intensive and ineffective. Therefore, summer residents treat plants with modern fungicides, one of which is Raek. It is used both for the prevention and treatment of diseases. We will describe its characteristic features, read the detailed instructions for using the fungicide and reviews.

Characteristics

Fungicide Raek is a highly effective drug that is designed to protect and treat fruit trees and vegetable crops from fungal infections. Also, in small dosages, the fungicide can be used for indoor and garden plants. A special feature of the product is its rapid absorption and long-lasting action. Which is of great importance with high humidity and frequent precipitation.

The drug Raek is effective against the following diseases:

scab;
septoria or white spot;
late blight;
moniliosis or fruit rot;
anthracnose;
leaf curl;
peronosporosis or downy mildew;
Clusterosporiasis or perforated spot.

The product is produced in the form of a concentrated yellow emulsion, which must be diluted in water according to the instructions before use. For small areas and the private sector, Rayek is packaged in plastic containers of 100, 50, 10 and even 2 ml. For large agricultural producers they offer plastic liter bottles.

Attention! An analogue of the fungicide Raek is the drug Skor, which has a similar principle of action.

Mechanism of action

The active substance of the Raek fungicide is difenoconazole, the concentration of which is 250 g/l. The active component stops the development and reproduction of pathogenic fungi and has a negative effect on DNA synthesis in their cells.

The product quickly penetrates the stems and leaves, and two hours after spraying it spreads throughout all plant cells. With preventive spraying, the duration of the protective effect lasts 1-2 weeks. With the active development of a fungal disease, the therapeutic effect of the fungicide lasts about a week.

Advantages

Fungicide Raek has a number of advantages:

quickly penetrates into plant tissue;
capable of providing long-term preventive protection and a rapid healing effect;
wide range of applications, since the product is suitable for many crops;
prevents the formation and development of spores of pathogenic fungi, which significantly reduces the likelihood of re-infection;
helps improve the quality and increase the size of the crop;
reliably protects not only foliage, but also fruits;
a bottle with a dispenser cap, which is convenient to store and use;
the emulsion is economical to use;
the drug is insensitive to weather conditions, as it is quickly absorbed;
can be stored at temperatures ranging from -30 to +35^ABOUTWITH.

Important! The plant will recover faster if the fungicide treatment was carried out within the first 4 days from the moment of infection.

Flaws

The drug Raek also has negative aspects:

With repeated use of a fungicide, parasitic fungi can get used to it and develop immunity to it, so Rayek needs to be alternated with similar drugs.
The substance is harmful to fish; you should avoid getting the solution into water bodies.
The drug is ineffective against powdery mildew fungi.

Rayek has far fewer disadvantages than advantages, so the fungicide deserves attention.

Preparation of the solution

Preventative treatment is recommended in early spring, when the first leaves begin to bloom. During the entire season, the fungicide can be used no more than 4 times for fruit trees and a maximum of 2 times for vegetables.

It is not advisable to store the working solution of the drug Raek, so it is mixed before the procedure. To do this, the required amount of emulsion is dissolved in a small amount of water. Then, stirring vigorously, gradually add liquid to the required volume. For convenience, it is better to immediately prepare the solution in the sprayer tank.

The consumption rate of the drug is selected separately for each crop based on the instructions.

Fruit trees

Fungicide Raek protects plums, apple trees, pears and other fruit trees from moniliosis and scab lesions. To prepare a working solution, you need to dilute 2 ml of emulsion (one ampoule) in 10 liters of water.

With the arrival of spring, the first two sprayings are carried out with an interval of at least 12-14 days. This must be done before the leaves bloom and buds form. If there are visible signs of infection, the crop can be treated again, but after the trees have flowered.

The consumption of working fluid per hectare of plantings averages from 700 to 900 liters. And for one fruit tree from 2 to 5 liters.

Attention! If necessary, a week after the last spraying with Rayek solution, you can start using another product.

Vegetables

The drug Raek effectively protects:

potatoes, tomatoes and cucumbers from septoria, klyasterosporiosis, curl;
onions against peronosporosis and powdery mildew;
beets from cercospora and other ailments.

To treat vegetable beds, an increased concentration of the fungicide Raek is required. According to the instructions for use, the emulsion is diluted in water in a ratio of 1 to 1. For spraying a garden area of 100 m² It is necessary to prepare about 5-6 liters of working solution. On average, one hectare of planting requires 400-500 liters of prepared liquid. Spraying should be carried out at intervals of two weeks.

Treatments can begin after the first shoots appear. Plantings are sprayed in calm weather in the morning or evening, even if rain is forecast at night.

Important! It is undesirable to treat plants during flowering, fruiting and root formation.

Houseplants

To protect indoor and garden flowers from various diseases, you need to dilute 0.5-1.5 ml of fungicide in a liter of clean water. It is advisable to carry out the treatment in the morning or evening, when there is no wind or direct sunlight.

To reduce the likelihood of pathogenic fungi adapting to the active substance of the drug Raek, it is alternated with the fungicide Quadris.

Compatibility with other drugs

Raek can be combined with most pesticides. The drug is especially effective in multicomponent mixtures. During the preparation of the tank solution, a new pesticide is added when all substances are completely dissolved.

Before mixing the complex mixture, it is recommended to check each pesticide for compatibility with the Raek fungicide.

Security measures

The drug has a third class of hazard, is not toxic to birds and bees, but is harmful to fish. Therefore, work should not be carried out near bodies of water, beehives or sources of drinking water. Keep the fungicide as far as possible from food, medicine and feed.

When working with emulsion, you must adhere to the following rules:

Be sure to wear gloves, safety glasses and a respirator.
Do not drink, smoke or eat during the procedure.
If the substance gets on the mucous membranes of the eyes or skin, wash the affected area with soap and water.
If the fungicide gets into the stomach, take activated charcoal and drink it with plenty of water. If the condition worsens, you should immediately consult a doctor.

The drug Raek should be stored in places inaccessible to animals and children. The room temperature should be between -30 and +35 degrees.

Reviews from summer residents

Natalya, 30 years old, Saratov

This year I decided to plant a rose in my garden. After some time, I noticed a white coating on its leaves. The greenery began to dry and fall off. As it turned out, it was powdery mildew. A neighbor advised me to buy Raek. I bought a 2 ml ampoule and diluted it according to the instructions in 10 liters of water. I cut off the diseased leaves and sprayed the remaining ones with the prepared solution. Three days later, a white coating appeared on the young foliage again. The drug turned out to be ineffective, the disease progressed. I don't recommend it.

Anastasia, 43 years old, Rostov-on-Don

In our garden of 10 acres there are apple trees, cherries, pears and currants.Every year my husband buys products to prevent diseases of fruit trees and berry bushes. One of them is Raek. We dilute the fungicide emulsion according to the instructions and treat the plants 3 times: during the growing season and twice after flowering with a break of 14 days. This product helps preserve the harvest and protect plantings from powdery mildew and scab.

Conclusion

Fungicide Raek is an effective drug that prevents the development of pathogenic fungi, even with pronounced signs of the disease. It is suitable for many crops and has a fast effect. Therefore, it is chosen by both experienced summer residents and novice gardeners. To avoid negative consequences, it is important to follow the instructions and safety rules.
