Operating principle

"Merpan" refers to a broad-spectrum fungicide, It is based on three main stages. First of all, contact with foliage and fruits disrupts the metabolic processes of pathogenic microorganisms, which subsequently leads to their death and eliminates the emergence of their resistance to the drug.

How to prepare a working solution

First you need to make a basic or mother liquor. For its preparation, a measured amount of granules is dissolved in 2 liters of water in a separate vessel. The mixture is stirred until complete dissolution.

Then it is necessary to inspect the sprayer tank, if it is clean and serviceable, it is filled with water. The resulting solution is poured into a filled tank and rinsed several times the container in which it was prepared.

Important! The solution must be constantly stirred, otherwise the substance may settle on the walls and bottom of the tank.

When and how to process: instruction

Processing "Merpanom" carried out in the early morning or late evening. The fungicide, according to the instructions for use, can be used throughout the entire growing season, but be sure to take into account that the final spraying of apple trees should be carried out within 30 days of the start of harvesting.

It is desirable to process gardens at an air temperature of + 14-16 ° C, and the wind speed should be no more than 4 m / s. On average, 1.5-2 liters of the preparation are used to treat 1 hectare of the garden, that is, it is necessary to prepare 900-1600 liters of working solution per 1 hectare.

Spray the apple when the first symptoms of the disease appear and be sure to repeat the procedure in 1-2 weeks.

Did you know? Fungicides are divided into two groups: some protect plants, others treat. The drug "Merpan" is used both for the prevention of diseases and for their treatment in the initial stages.

Toxicity and safety measures

Fungicide is characterized as moderately dangerous. May be dangerous to fish and other aquatic creatures, therefore its use in the sanitary zone of water bodies is not recommended.

The use of protective agents for spraying trees is mandatory, given that the drug belongs to the 3rd class of toxicity.

Storage conditions

Store "Merpan" in specialized warehouses for pesticides in sealed original packaging. The air temperature in such rooms can vary from -5 to +40 ° С. It is not recommended to store the fungicide at high altitude.

Care must be taken to prevent direct sunlight from entering the package. The warehouse in which the product is stored must be dry.

Did you know? Fungicides can be completely safe for humans and the environment - we are talking about biological alternative means designed to combat various diseases, which are distinguished by the fact that the active substance is of plant origin.

Despite the fact that the fungicide is most often used to protect and treat apples, it is also used to combat fungus on soybeans, grapes and strawberries. The effectiveness of this tool has already been appreciated by many farmers who successfully use it in gardens and fields.
