Diseases of fungal and bacterial nature can slow down the development of plants and destroy the crop. To protect garden and agricultural crops from such damage, the drug Strekar, which has a complex effect, is suitable.
The fungicide is not yet widely used. The manufacturer recommends the use of the drug by gardeners and farmers.
Description of the fungicide
Strekar is a contact-systemic fungicide that protects garden crops from harmful bacteria and fungi. The fungicide is used for treating planting material, spraying and watering during the growing season of crops.
One of the active ingredients is phytobacteriomycin, an antibiotic that is highly soluble in water. The substance penetrates plant tissues and moves through them. As a result, crop immunity to various diseases increases.
Another active ingredient is carbendazim, which can stop the spread of pathogenic microorganisms. Carbendazim has protective properties and adheres well to shoots and leaves of plants.
Fungicide Strekar is used to protect and treat the following diseases:
- fungal infections;
- root rot;
- blackleg;
- fusaoriosis;
- anthracnose;
- bacterial burn;
- spotting on leaves.
Fungicide Strekar is available in packages of 500 g, 3 and 10 kg. The drug has the form of a paste, which is diluted with water to obtain a working solution. In 1 tbsp. l. contains 20 g of substance.
Strekar is compatible with other fungicides and insecticides. The exception is bacterial preparations.

Application procedure

To prepare the solution, use a plastic, enamel or glass container. The resulting product is consumed within 24 hours after preparation.
Seed treatment
Treating seeds before planting avoids many diseases and speeds up seed germination. The solution is prepared one day before planting seeds for seedlings or in the ground.
Fungicide concentration – 2%. Before dressing, select seeds without sprouts, cracks, dust and other contaminants. The duration of treatment is 5 hours, after which the planting material is washed with clean water.
Cucumber
In closed ground, cucumbers are susceptible to fusarium, root rot, and bacterial wilt. To protect the plantings, prepare a working solution.
For preventive purposes, the first treatment is carried out a month after planting the plants in a permanent place. The solution is applied by watering at the root. The consumption rate of Strekar paste per 10 liters is 20 g.
The procedure is repeated every 4 weeks. In total, it is enough to perform 3 treatments per season.
The solution is used for drip watering of plants. Consumption of fungicide Strekar per 1 sq. m will be 60 g.
Tomato
The drug Strekar is effective against bacterial wilt, fusaoriosis, root rot, and spotting of tomatoes. In the greenhouse, tomatoes are sprayed with a 0.2% fungicide solution. For tomatoes in open ground, prepare a solution at a concentration of 0.4%.
First, the treatment is carried out a month after planting in a permanent place. Repeated spraying is performed after 3 weeks. During the season, 3 treatments of tomatoes are sufficient.
Onion
With high humidity, onions are susceptible to bacterial and other rots. Diseases quickly spread through plants and destroy crops. Preventive spraying helps protect plantings.
The consumption rate of Strekar fungicide per 10 liters is 20 g. Plantings are sprayed when the bulb is formed. Subsequently, the treatment is repeated every 20 days.
Potato
If symptoms of fusarium, blackleg or bacterial wilt appear on potatoes, serious treatment measures are required.Plantings are sprayed with a solution containing 15 g of paste per 10-liter bucket of water.
For preventive purposes, potatoes are processed three times per season. Wait 3 weeks between procedures.
Cereals
Wheat, rye, oats and other grain crops suffer from bacteriosis and root rot. Protective measures are carried out at the stage of seed treatment.
At the tillering stage, when side shoots appear on the plants, the plantings are sprayed. According to the instructions for use, 10 g of Strekar fungicide is required per 10 liters of water.
Fruit trees
Apple, pear and other fruit trees suffer from scab, fire blight and moniliosis. To protect the garden from diseases, prepare a spraying solution.
In accordance with the instructions for use, Strekar fungicide is taken in an amount of 10 g per 10 liters of water. The solution is used in the formation of buds and ovaries. Repeated treatment is carried out in the fall after harvesting the fruits.
Precautionary measures
When interacting with chemicals, it is important to follow safety precautions. Fungicide Strekar belongs to hazard class 3.
Protect the skin with long sleeves and rubber gloves. It is not recommended to inhale solution vapors, so you should use a mask or respirator.
Animals and people who do not have protective equipment are removed from the treatment site. After spraying, pollinating insects are released after 9 hours. Treatment is not carried out near water bodies.
If chemicals come into contact with your skin, wash the area of contact with water. In case of poisoning, you need to take 3 tablets of activated carbon with water.You should definitely consult your doctor to avoid complications.
The drug is kept in a dry, dark room, away from children and animals, at a temperature of 0 to +30 ° C. Chemicals should not be stored near medications or food.

Good afternoon
Your question can be understood in different ways:
• how long does it take for the fungicide to penetrate all parts of the plant, including the root system;
• how quickly Strekar's effect manifests itself;
• how long does the protective effect of Strekar last on treated plants;
• after what time can fruits be harvested from crops treated with Strekar.
Strekar's effect lasts for at least 2 weeks. This is exactly how long it takes for the active substance phytobacteriomycin to spread and penetrate into the plant tissue and have the desired effect.
The fungicide begins to act directly on plants, increasing their protective functions or providing a therapeutic effect, within 10-20 hours after treatment.
The fungicide has a protective effect within 20-25 days from the moment the plants are treated. Repeated treatment of vegetable and fruit and berry crops with Strekar is allowed no earlier than after a month.
However, harvesting from treated crops can be done no earlier than after 4-5 weeks. It is worth remembering that Strekar is a chemical preparation, and it is highly undesirable to use it directly during the flowering period and before harvesting the fruits.
