The fungicide Tebuconazole is a little-known but effective drug that is designed to combat various fungal diseases of grains, gardens, vegetables and many other crops. Tebuconazole has protective, eradicative and therapeutic effects. The drug occupies one of the first places among the disinfectants.

Scope and release form

Fungicide disinfect grains of wheat, barley, oats and rye. Grapes, onions, tomatoes, potatoes, beans, coffee and tea are also processed. Tebuconazole suppresses the development of a variety of fungal infections:

helminthosporium root rot;
molding of grains;
dusty, stone, hard, coated and stem smut;
root rot;
various spots;
scab;
Alternaria blight;
powdery mildew;
leaf rust;
fusarium snow mold.

The drug is available in the form of a whitish suspension concentrate, which is poured into 5-liter plastic canisters.

Mechanism of action

The active ingredient of the drug is tebuconazole, the concentration of which is 6% or 60 g of substance per liter of suspension.Thanks to its high mobility, the fungicide quickly moves to the place where parasitic fungi accumulate, eradicates the infection and provides long-term protection to crops.

The active component of the drug destroys pathogens both on the surface and inside the grain. The substance penetrates the seed embryo, protects the seedlings and roots of the plant from damage by soil fungi. The drug is able to move to growth points. As soon as the fungicide solution gets on the seeds, tebuconazole suppresses the vital processes of fungi - it disrupts the biosynthesis of ergosterol in cell membranes, as a result of which they die.

The main part of the substance passes into the plant within 2-3 weeks after sowing. The fungicidal effect of the drug appears on the second day after the grain enters the soil.

Advantages and disadvantages

The fungicide Tebuconazole combines a number of positive qualities:

used both for spraying cultivated plants and for disinfecting grains;
wide range of action;
helps both prevent the disease and suppress the development of an existing pathogenic fungus;
highly effective against smut diseases and root rot;
has economical consumption;
Excellent value for money and quality;
the substance is distributed throughout the plant and destroys the fungus in all its parts;
provides long-lasting protection.

Agronomists point out one significant drawback to the drug Tebuconazole. Under unfavorable climatic conditions (drought, waterlogging), the fungicide exhibits a pronounced retardant effect (slows down the emergence and growth of cereal crops).

Instructions for use

It is recommended to spray plants with Tebuconazole fungicide in calm weather, in the morning or evening.Before carrying out work, the spray bottle is thoroughly washed to remove dirt. The suspension is shaken, the required amount of concentrate is poured and diluted in 2-3 liters of warm water. The resulting fungicide solution is mixed with a wooden stick and poured into the spray tank, which must be filled with the remaining water.

During the process of seed treatment, the working fluid should be stirred constantly. The diluted Tebuconazole concentrate cannot be stored for long periods of time. It is recommended to prepare the working composition directly on the day of treatment.

Important! The harvest can be harvested 30-40 days after the last fungicide treatment.

Cereals

Tebuconazole helps protect crops from root rot, helminthosporiosis, various smut, red-brown spot, snow mold, rust and powdery mildew. Diseases affect both the aboveground part and the root system of the plant. Spraying with a fungicide is carried out when the first signs of infection appear or when there is a possibility of infection. Per hectare of plantings requires 250-375 g of tebuconazole. Frequency of treatments – 1.

Dressing of grains is carried out 1-2 weeks before sowing. To do this, 0.4-0.5 liters of concentrate are mixed in a bucket of warm water. For a ton of seeds you will need 10 liters of working solution. Before the procedure the grains must be calibrated and cleaned. Treatment of unsorted seeds leads to the fact that most of the substance is adsorbed by dust, which significantly reduces economic efficiency.

Important! Increased rates of fungicide application under unfavorable climatic conditions significantly reduce seed germination.

Other crops

In spray form, Tebuconazole is used to destroy various parasitic fungi in the following crops:

Large fruits. The fungicide effectively prevents apple scab and powdery mildew on grapes. It is used at a rate of 100g/ha.
Vegetable crops. To save tomatoes and potatoes from Alternaria blight, the drug is used at a rate of 150-200 g per hectare of plantings.
Legumes. The product protects beans and peanuts from leaf spot. 125-250 g of the substance are consumed per hectare of land.
The fungicide is effective against omphalious spot and rust fungus on a coffee tree. 125-250 g of the substance are used per hectare of plantings.

Plants are treated once. If necessary, repeat the procedure.

Analogues and compatibility with other drugs

Tebuconazole is compatible with many insecticides and fungicides used for seed treatment and treatment of various crops. The fungicide is most effective in tank mixtures. But before mixing substances, drugs need to be checked for compatibility.

Tebuconazole can be replaced with analogues: Stinger, Agrosil, Tebuzan, Folicur, Kolosal. All products have the same active ingredient.

Attention! To eliminate the possibility of fungi becoming accustomed to the active substance of the drug, it is alternated with other fungicides.

Safety regulations

Tebuconazole classified as hazard class 2. The drug is harmful to humans and moderately toxic to fish and bees. It is not recommended to carry out work near ponds and apiaries.

When working with the drug Tebuconazole, you should adhere to the following rules:

Feedback from agronomists

Victor, 36 years old, Ekaterinburg

I am wary of chemicals; I have always used folk remedies to protect vegetable plantings. But this year an unpleasant scourge appeared - Alternaria on potatoes. A neighbor recommended the fungicide Tebuconazole. I had not heard anything about the drug, but I decided to take a chance; I had no choice. Since it is a harsh chemical, I wore dustproof overalls, rubber gloves, goggles and a respirator. I diluted Tebuconazole according to the instructions for use and thoroughly sprayed the potato tops. I was pleased with the result. The harvest is good, the crop is no longer sick. I did not observe any side effects from the use of the fungicide.

Alexander, 55 years old, Ulyanovsk region

The total cultivated area of our site is 25 thousand hectares. We grow various grain crops. We treat the seeds with the fungicide Tebuconazole a week before sowing. Basically we have to deal with smut, root rot and septoria of wheat. There have been no recent outbreaks of diseases, and the drug effectively prevents them.I did not observe any negative effect on seed germination. In general, we are satisfied with the product.

Conclusion

Application of seed protectants has a positive effect on productivity and provides effective protection to the plant. If you follow the instructions, timing and application rates, the agrochemical Tebuconazole will not cause harm.
