"Alto Super": active ingredient, application, consumption rate

All agricultural enterprises are focused on obtaining high-quality crops in large quantities. But sometimes biological factors work, and crops damage fungal microorganisms. In order to prevent or cure diseases such as powdery mildew, chilliness, ear disease and many others, experts have developed an Alto Super antifungal. In the article we will talk about the instructions for use of the fungicide, principle of action, toxicity and storage conditions.

Composition, release form, packaging

The composition of "Alto Super" includes two main active ingredients: cyproconazole and propiconazole. Available in the form of an emulsion concentrate. In one liter of the fungicide, 80 g of cyproconazole and 250 g of propiconazole are concentrated. On the shelves of agrotechnical stores, you can find this drug in five-liter and twenty-liter cans.Some sellers offer to buy "Alto Super" fractional portions, that is, you can pour from the canister the volume that you wish.

For what crops is suitable

The tool is used to prevent and combat many fungal organisms that affect all major crops and beets (from which sugar is extracted).

Alto Super can be used for oats, spring and winter wheat, spring and winter barley, millet, quinoa, wheat, millet, buckwheat and other cereals.

What diseases are effective for

"Alto Super" is used for the prevention and treatment of these types of diseases of sugar beet and grain crops:

• septoria and ear fusarium;
• stem and brown rust;
• powdery mildew, septoria leaf, pyrenophorosis;
• rhinosporiosis, Alternaria, fomoz, Alternaria, cladosporia and others.

To combat some of the above diseases, this fungicidal agent is used in combination with other drugs.The fact is that "Alto Super" can only partially destroy the causative agents of certain diseases (cladosporiosis, Fusarium and Alteriasis of winter erysipelas).

It should be noted that this fungicide is capable (with effective dosages and correct use) to completely kill the causative agents of Alternaria on sugar beet.

However, if the disease affects winter rye, then the fungicide will no longer be so effective, and it should be used only in combination with other drugs.

Drug benefits

The main advantages of Alto Super are:

• High degree of effectiveness in the fight against many fungal microorganisms that infect cereal crops and sugar beets.
• If you follow the instructions for use, then after the course of treatments will not appear resistance. In addition, the drug is not phytotoxic.
• The main active ingredients of the drug can in a short period of time penetrate the plant cell structures and protect young shoots from possible infections with fungal microorganisms.
• The tool can stop the development of fungi and destroy them, after which the plant will continue to grow and develop normally. Such a mechanism of action can bring to life even the most weakened crops.
• The drug is completely safe for the surrounding natural range, does not represent an environmental hazard (but there is a ban on the use of fungicide near the places of maintenance of fisheries).
• Compatible with almost all chemical agents (including fungicides), which are designed to protect crops from fungal diseases.
• The tool is able to increase the total amount of sugar extracted from beets. For example, if sugar beet in the process of cercopreosis is treated with this fungicide, then it is possible to produce 10 kg more sugar from one ton of harvested crop than from an unprocessed crop.
• Low cost rates and a long period of validity.
• High rain resistance of plants after treatment with a fungicide.

All the above advantages make Alto Super one of the leaders in the agrotechnical market of fungicides.

Operating principle

Fungicides come in different chemical classes, and depending on this, they have a different effect on the pathological microorganisms that infect plants. The full picture of the principle of action of fungicides of different classes is currently unknown to science.

What is clear is that fungicides are capable of penetrating all parts of the plant in a short period of time, stopping the processes of reproduction of fungi there. "Alto Super" - a drug that belongs to the chemical class of triazoles.

Triazoles are able to inhibit the synthesis of ergosterol (one of the main components of cell membranes). Due to this effect, Alto Super is able to destroy pathogenic microorganisms and for a long time after treatment to protect against new lesions.

Time and method of processing, consumption rate

Fungicide "Alto Super" is used according to the instructions for use, which clearly marked consumption rates and other rules of use:

• Winter and spring barley. The consumption rate is considered to be 0.4-0.5 l / ha. Spraying of crops is carried out during the growing season, again - 40 days after the first treatment.
• Oats The rates and period of processing fully coincide with those indicated in the paragraph above.
• Sugar beet. Sprayed with the appearance of such diseases: fomoz, chalcosporosis, Alternaria, powdery mildew. For processing 1 ha of beet use 0.5-0.75 l of the drug. The first treatment is carried out in identifying the initial signs of the disease, the second - in 10-14 days. Alto Super chemicals can protect for up to 30 days.
• Winter and spring wheat. Consumption rates and processing period remain the same as for barley.
• Winter rye. The drug is able to overcome almost all fungal lesions of this culture. However, it is ineffective in combating clavosporiosis, fusoriosis and Alternaria. Processing times and rates remain standard for cereals.

Professional agronomists recommend using the tool "Alto Super" in cases where more than 4% of crops are affected. The most favorable time for processing is considered to be the summer period from 6 to 9 am (or from 7 to 9 pm).The air temperature should be around + 25 ° С. It is possible to spray crops with this preparation both by means of mechanical methods, and by means of aircraft.

Period of protective action

If the fungicide is used according to the instructions and within the time specified above, then the period of protective action will last about 40 days. In addition, it should be recalled that the drug begins to act 60 minutes after the end of treatment.

As a result, if you do not delay with repeated treatments, then the crops can be protected for 2 months.

Toxicity

"Alto Super" refers to toxic substances of the third class (low-toxic substances). It does not harm bees and warm-blooded animals, however, it is prohibited to use near water bodies where they breed fish (should be used at a distance not closer than 500 m from water bodies).

It is also forbidden to graze cattle in the field and near them. A special environmental regulation has been drawn up for this preparation:

• allowed to use when the wind speed is not more than 4-5 m / s;
• handle plants in the evening or morning;
• limit the treatment area to 2-3 km (in the zone to prevent bees).

Term and storage conditions

The drug in an airtight packaged canister can be stored for 3 years from the date of manufacture. Unsealed means should be used at one time, and all that has not been used should be disposed of.Store Alto Super in a dark, cool place, protected from sunlight and out of reach of children.

In view of all that has been said in the article, it can be noted that the fungicide "Alto Super" is an excellent assistant to agronomists. For a long time in the world market, the drug has been actively bought and used to fight fungal microorganisms. And if you have not yet seen with your own eyes the effectiveness of the remedy, then we recommend that you try it.
