Features of the fungicide "Quadris" for grapes

The question often arises of how to process the vine so as not to harm the plant itself, and nature, and living beings even more. After all, fungicides are known to be quite toxic.

We will tell in the article how to properly use the chemical preparation "Quadris" for grapes - how to dilute, how to process, how to store the fungicide and how not to harm yourself when working with such a product.

Fungicide "Quadris" for grapes - a drug for the prevention of various grape diseases, including mildew, oidium.

The effect of its application:

• reliable and long-term protection (from a to z) of the culture from a wide range of diseases (main and secondary);
• enhances photosynthesis;
• prolongs the work of the sheet apparatus;
• contributes to obtaining a high and high-quality harvest;
• leads to an increased profitability of the cultivation of grapes.

To prevent the development of diseases, it is recommended to use them in the early stages of their manifestation. Provides protection for 3 weeks, regardless of weather conditions. Pathogens die within 60 minutes after treatment, they act on almost all types of fungi.

This drug is recommended for professional use, it is produced in the form of a concentrate in the form of a suspension. Designed for manual and mechanized work.

This fungicide belongs to the 2nd class of danger for humans, for bees - to the 3rd class. It is forbidden to carry out processing of plants near the fishery territories.

Available in concentrated 6 ml ampoules and 1 liter in plastic bottles. Before complex use with other agents, the compositions are checked for compatibility.

The drug is used to treat various plants, and its instructions for use will differ in different cases. Depending on the purpose (prevention or treatment) and what kind of culture (grapes, potatoes, onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc.) we are talking about, waiting times, dosage of the composition, breeding rules, and so on - all this will be different in different cases. ...

If we are talking about a vine in order to prevent such diseases as mildew and oidium in it, then a 0.06% solution will be needed for spraying.

To prepare it, find a room where there will be no access to strangers, and use a simple method:

• fill the sprayer tank to a third of the required water rate;
• add part of the fungicide (according to the specified standards in the instructions for the preparation) and mix the composition well;
• pour in the rest of the water, stir again.

Spraying can begin. It is important to use all the prepared solution on the same day. Processing is carried out 4 times (during the growing season):

• before flowering;
• after the color has dropped;
• during fruiting;
• before the harvest ripens.

Usually it is recommended to use "Quadris" for grapes in conjunction with other fungicides. Before and after such treatment, the vine is sprayed with other means that affect the pathogen in a different way.

This is done so that the "addictive" effect does not arise. The fact is that fungal diseases tend to adapt to the "Quadris" by mutation.To avoid such consequences, this fungicide is either used in conjunction with other agents, or alternate treatment with spraying with other drugs that also affect the pathogen.

Since this drug has a hazard class (2 - for humans and 3 - for bees), then you need to work with it very carefully and observing all safety requirements.

1. Spraying is not carried out during the flowering period of the vine.
2. The liquid should not come into contact with the soil.
3. Do not work with the composition near water bodies at least at a distance within a radius of 2 kilometers.
4. Be sure to wear a protective suit and gas mask or respirator and special safety glasses.
5. Spraying should be done in calm weather to prevent splashing of the composition on other crops.
6. Do not work with Quadris near an apple orchard or near other fruit trees. Even one micro dose of this composition can destroy the entire future crop and cause the death of fruit crops.
7. The preparation of the composition for spraying should take place in a separate room, where access to the rest is prohibited.
8. The waiting period after processing is 3 days. After that, only further agrotechnical measures with grapes can be carried out.

Among the advantages of the drug are the following:

• accurate defeat of most types of fungi;
• has a systemic and contact effect;
• accelerates photosynthesis, which makes the vine easier to endure stressful situations;
• "Quadris" "works" only through the leaves, does not touch the vine itself and grapes.
• they can be sprayed in any weather, this fungicide is "not afraid" of precipitation.

But in order to safely use it, you need to know about the shortcomings of the drug:

• able to harm the one who sprays;
• do not carry out treatment with "Quadris" in the same place for more than 2 years in a row;
• during the flowering period, it is forbidden to use this fungicide (it tends to accumulate in the peduncles).
• work with caution near water bodies (do not approach the source closer than 2 km).

Fungicide "Quadris" does not dissolve in water and, once it gets into the ground, it can harm animals through the groundwater that go to the watering hole in the nearest body of water. For the same reason, it is not recommended for them to process grape plantations if they are located near reservoirs where fish are found.

A person can cope on their own with the symptoms of poisoning by simple gastric lavage, but other living organisms will have more difficulty.

For this reason, it is not recommended to work with the composition near other plants and animals. The person himself may experience dizziness and nausea - with these symptoms, an emergency gastric lavage is performed and all symptoms are removed.

And to prevent such a situation, it is recommended to work in protective clothing and in special protective equipment. If all safety requirements are followed, the Quadris fungicide can be safe for nature and people.

The drug requires compliance with all storage rules. Here is a list of mandatory activities in this regard:

• store in a dark, dry place out of reach of children;
• optimal temperature regime - from -5 to +35 degrees;
• it is forbidden to store "Quadris" near food products and drinks;
• the shelf life of the fungicide is 3 years;
• it is important to track the expiration date of the drug and not use after the expiration date.

In plants, just like in humans, it is better to prevent a disease than to treat it in its already neglected form.

If the process is running, then you should not expect a highly effective result. In case of significant damage, the drug, of course, will help save the plant itself, but not the fruits.So stay on track and process your grapes in a timely manner to get a bountiful harvest.
