Instructions for use of Oksikhom show that the drug belongs to systemic-contact fungicides that are used for the treatment and prevention of fungal diseases of agricultural crops. The peculiarity of the product is that it is easy to dilute and spray, has a two-component effect, which allows it to be used in large agricultural farms.
Description of the drug Oxychom
Oxychome is a white powder. It is also commercially available in tablet form. The fungicide is intended to rid crops of colonies of fungal microorganisms that parasitize them. The drug is highly soluble in water, making the preparation procedure for spraying quick, which is very important when it comes to processing a large number of crops.
The stems and leaves of the plant are treated with Oxychome, and the active components of the drug can affect the crop both externally and internally. Accordingly, efficiency increases significantly, especially since this advantage allows you not to worry about the weather.
Compound
The fungicide Oxychom contains 2 active components - oxadixil and copper oxychloride. High efficiency is due to these substances. Copper oxychloride is able to quickly penetrate the structure of the plant, and then in the spore of the fungus, it begins to destroy it from the inside. Oxadixil significantly enhances the effect of copper oxychloride, which inhibits the development of microorganisms in the treated area.
Mechanism of action
After processing the plants, a thin film is formed on their leaf blades, which reliably protects them from the effects of microorganisms. Fungal spores are not able to penetrate through it into the crop. Therefore, the plant develops throughout the season, being protected by copper oxychloride.
Oxadixil acts on the plant in a different way. The substance penetrates deep into the culture and affects pathogenic microorganisms. The drug begins to work a few hours after treatment.
Consumption rate
Oksikhom is recognized as an effective composition for the treatment and prevention of many crops; the rate of application of the product should be different.
In the instructions for use of the drug Oxychom for cucumbers, the consumption rate is indicated - 30 g of the product per 10 liters of water.For tomatoes and potatoes, the norm will be 30-35 g of the drug for the same amount of liquid, for onions – 24-30 g, and for beets – 32-40 g. In this case, you need to pay attention to the recommended number of treatments.
The application rate for treating berry and fruit trees differs significantly. To treat grapes with Oxychom, you will need 60 g per 10 liters of water when the crop grows 20-30 cm. Apple, pear, cherry, peach, apricot and plum trees should be treated before flowering. You will need from 40 to 80 g of product per 10 liters of water.
Rules for treating plants with Oxyx
Before use, you must carefully read the instructions. You should pay attention to the correct preparation of the solution, take into account the time of day and weather conditions. It is also necessary to know about the maximum permissible impact on the crop and the risks of possible contact with soil. Despite the fact that the list of effects of the drug is wide, it is better to find out in advance what problems with the crop it can be used for.
Preparation of the solution
The working solution must be prepared immediately before use. During dilution, all precautions should be taken, since the substances included in the drug are unsafe for human health. The solution is prepared based on the norm specified in the instructions. That is, 10 liters of water require the amount of the drug that corresponds to the crop being treated and its disease.
It is advisable to prepare a container in which it is convenient to mix the resulting solution.Water is poured into it and the solution is gradually added. The mixture is prepared from 1 liter of water and the required amount of product. The prepared solution must be mixed gradually and carefully, since it has rather low stability.
Rules for using Oksikhom
When using, you need to make sure that Oxychom does not get on the soil. If liquid is spilled on the ground, it is necessary to completely replace it in this place. That is, the damaged soil should be dug up and replaced with a new layer. Oxychome is dangerous for bodies of water and its inhabitants. Therefore, spraying it within a radius of 150 m from a river or lake is prohibited.
It is important to consider that there must be an interval of at least 10-12 days between treatments. Otherwise, it will negatively affect the culture. Maximum usage per season also matters. You cannot spray the plant more than 3-4 times.
Favorable time for treatment is morning, after the dew has evaporated, or evening. Spraying during heat and exposure to sunlight is prohibited. This can cause severe burns to the leaf blades. No less important is the lack of wind.
For vegetable crops
Vegetable crops can begin to be cultivated in the spring, after rooting in the soil. When flowering begins, processing work is prohibited; this can damage the plant and the bees. The maximum number of sprays with Oxyx for treating tomatoes, potatoes, cucumbers and other vegetables is no more than 3 times per season.
At the same time, the instructions for using the Oksikhom fungicide for tomatoes indicate that the first treatment is carried out either as a preventive measure or at the first signs of the disease. Next, you should observe the culture.Repeated use is possible after 10-12 days.
The drug Oxychom for treating cucumbers for preventive purposes must be done before flowering begins, after which the solution can be used 1-2 more times with an interval of 9-13 days.
The first preventative treatment for potatoes is carried out before the rows close, when the plant height has reached 15-20 cm. The second treatment must be carried out during the budding period, but before flowering begins. Next, we must proceed from the state of the culture.
For fruit and berry crops
All types of fruit and berry crops can be processed 4 times during the season. The first spraying is carried out before the flowering stage, then after the flowers fall. Subsequent ones can be performed as needed at intervals of 2 weeks.
The instructions for using the Oksikhom fungicide for grapes indicate that in order to prevent diseases, the drug can be used twice. The first treatment will be required when the shoots grow 20-30 cm in height, the second after 2 weeks. The use of Oxychom for grape diseases is required in the initial stages of the disease. The second time is before flowering. The third and fourth treatments are carried out during the period of berry formation and at the beginning of technical ripeness. In this case, the interval should be 14-20 days.
Terms of use
You should determine the required number of treatments yourself, based on the condition of the crop, but it should not exceed the permissible standards recommended by the manufacturer. The period of protective action is 10-14 days. The rate of exposure to the substance is no more than 3 days.
