Fungicides help farmers harvest high-quality crops. Syngenta's Tilt is designed to support plants against numerous fungal diseases. The effectiveness of Tilt fungicide is based on the duration of action, independence from weather conditions and the ability of the drug not only to heal the affected plants, but also to stimulate their development.
The drug in the form of a concentrated emulsion goes on sale in 5-liter canisters for use on large farms. Its variants are found in small packaging. Due to the Tilt fungicide belonging to hazard class 3, in Russia it is prohibited for use on private farms.
Operating principle
Fungicide Tilt is produced on the basis of the systemic pesticide propiconazole. When processing the crop, propiconazole, getting on the surface of the plants, moves from the leaves and stems to the young shoots, moving from bottom to top. The effect of the substance is evident after 2-3 hours. The entire plant will be protected by the fungicide in 12-24 hours. Under the influence of propiconazole, the vegetative organs of fungi die and sporulation is inhibited.Fungi newly formed from spores are suppressed after two days. In this way, the entire colony is gradually exterminated.
Preventive treatment of crops with Tilt fungicide shows especially good results. In the early stages of the development of a fungal infection, it is also possible to stop the further course of the disease when using the drug. The substance has a long shelf life. Propiconazole exhibits its activity within 20-35 days, depending on weather conditions.
