Experienced winegrowers know that varietal grapes differ from wild ones not only in appearance, taste and other qualities. Elite varieties are much more vulnerable to pests and diseases. Fungicides for grapes will help to solve this problem and provide artificial protection.

Preventive spraying is carried out according to the scheme of the main terms of processing grapes from diseases and pests:

  • period of swelling of the kidneys - oidium, red grape mite;
  • the appearance of 5 leaves - mildew, gray rot;
  • development of inflorescences - oidium, all types of mites;
  • before flowering - against ticks;
  • pouring berries - using a systemic fungicide;
  • closing of bunches - from all types of rot.

Important! Working with fungicides is strictly prohibited when the vineyard is in bloom.

Types of fungicides

All fungicides are divided into 2 types:

  • Contact. Treatment with drugs is carried out carefully, since the effect is effective only on the coverage area. When processing one side of the sheet, the other remains vulnerable. The vineyard must be completely processed. A contact fungicide is used as a treatment.
  • Systemic. Used in preventive treatments. Unlike contact ones, they penetrate the culture and protect it from the inside.

Fungicides for grapes

Falcon

Refers to systemic preparations for grapes. Falcon represents triple protection for grapes: treatment, prevention, eradication.

Falcon fungicide instructions for use for grapes suggest dissolving in warm water with a volume of 5 liters. The resulting solution can be sprayed on the bushes, preventing oidium.

Falcon has the following advantages:

  • the term of use has a wide range;
  • the effect is very fast;
  • due to its effect, parasites and diseases lose their resistance to other drugs;
  • effective for many diseases.

Sometimes falcon has a conflict with other insecticides and fungicides, but quite rarely.

Mikal

Mikal fungicide in the instructions for use for grapes is recommended as a protective and therapeutic agent. Contact systemic fungicide destroys phytopathogenic fungi, prevents the appearance of mildew, oidium, powdery mildew.

Mikal is a wettable powder. For a 10 l working solution, 30 g is required.

It is used at the very first signs of the disease. An integrated approach with other drugs will rid the bushes of black rot. Mikal's only complaint to his partners is the lack of an alkaline reaction.

Important! After preparing the solution, the grower must process the crops immediately, within half an hour. The protective effect of the drug lasts 2 weeks. Recommended for alternation with other products.

The low toxicity of Mikala causes concern only when it comes into contact with mucous membranes.

HOM

Contact agent HOM can be applied to the entire garden. Having a wide range of applications, the fungicide gives a good result, even when it is difficult to determine the fungal infection.

Copper oxychloride is a water-soluble powder that does not irritate the skin. The drug is completely harmless to humans and animals. In comparison with Bordeaux liquid and vitriol, HOM has an advantage in this.

Use the HOM preparation for processing grapes according to the instructions, as soon as possible after preparation. Preferably in the evening in dry weather. Protective properties last for 2 weeks.

HOM is compatible with inta-vir, fufanon, epin. Cannot be combined with alkalis.

HOM - protection of crops from diseases

Antracol

Horticulture has recently been armed with Antracol to protect crops. This contact fungicide is produced either as a water-soluble powder or granules. The main substance is propineb, which suppresses protein enzymes of fungal spores.

Viticulture recommends the use of Antracol for the destruction of black rot, rubella, mildew.

Modern chemistry has made Antracol non-toxic, but due to the presence of zinc, it destroys fungi ten times better than other fungicides.

The dosage for treating bushes is 10 l - 10 g of granules. Processing is carried out 3 times, every 10-14 days.

At the moment, the list of incompatibility with antifungal drugs is empty. The drug has some attractive benefits:

  • suitable for all plants;
  • zinc in the composition of the drug acts as a medicine and as a top dressing;
  • resistance to dew and rain;
  • does not harm plants.

Cuprolux

The newest protection of grapes from diseases and pests is represented by the fungicide cuprolux. The drug stops the disease from the first hours of infection.

The drug is produced in powder form, readily soluble in water. The packaging is enough for a quarter of a hundred square meters. Quickly creeping into the plant, cuprolux maintains its effect for 2 weeks. It is worth waiting 3 days before starting work after spraying. 4 treatments are carried out per season.

Cuprolux advantages:

  • excellent combination of economy with efficiency;
  • heals hidden infections;
  • pathogens do not get used to it;
  • ideally alternates with pro-gold.

Infinity

The fungicide has a systemic effect. Pathogenic fungi of the oomycete class are suppressed by propamocarb hydrochloride and fluopicolide, which are part of the infinity.

Infinity is a concentrated suspension produced in vials and cans. The action of the drug begins 2-3 hours after treatment. How much the drug will work depends on the weather and the degree of contamination of the crops. Usually this period is 8-14 days.

Processing is carried out during the growing season; the first prophylactic immediately after flowering, the next - every 2 weeks. The garden plot is processed 4 times. Infinity is not phytotoxic, it acquires maximum efficiency when interacting with other groups.

Infiniti fungicide treatment

Advantages of the fungicide:

  • long period of protection;
  • has the latest high-performance component;
  • protects the entire plant;
  • stimulates growth;
  • protects the roots of culture;
  • no phytotoxicity.

Speed

It is a double-acting fungicide: contact and systemic. Speed ​​for grapes has a preventive and therapeutic effect in the fight against black rot, rubella, powdery mildew, phomopsis.

The speed for processing grapes has the form of a liquid emulsion. Soon is useless if the pathogens have already formed spores. For preventive purposes, the fungicide can be used only twice before flowering and the same amount after.

For the treatment of fast, they are used immediately as the disease is detected.

The working solution has a dosage: for 10 liters of warm water - 5 ml of the drug. Moreover, more than 1 liter cannot be spent on a bush.

Important! The speed is low-toxic, but does not pose a danger to birds. Such weather conditions as heat, wind, precipitation do not affect the effect of the drug.

Colloidal sulfur

This contact agent acts as an insecticide, protecting the vineyard from ticks. In the spring, when anthracnose is activated, colloidal sulfur is quite effective.

It combines well with copper-containing fungicides. When preparing the working solution, use only warm water. For prevention, sulfur is applied to the foliage with a thin spray.

Colloidal sulfur for grapes creates a protective barrier for 2 weeks.

Milk serum

In the south of Ukraine, growing pure grapes, antifungal kvass is prepared against powdery mildew. Its preparation is based on milk whey, sugar, rotten hay.As a result of fermentation, bacteria are born that feed on pathogenic microflora. The value of such protection lies in the ability to process the vineyards during the ripening period, additionally protecting the berries from cracking.

Milk serum

Potassium permanganate and soda

Spraying the grapes with a solution of baking soda and iodine will help eliminate the early signs of disease. Soda does an excellent job with gray rot, and caterpillars that infect grape leaves are afraid of it. Constant soda treatment serves as a reliable protection against powdery mildew and powdery mildew.

Soda solution and ammonia create a rejuvenating effect for grapes. As a side effect, the solution inhibits the entire root grass. The ammonia in the working solution when sprinkled during the ripening of the bunches improves the taste of the berries.

Important! When the berries ripen, no chemicals are applied. During this period, potassium permanganate will help. The more the shrub is affected, the richer the treatment solution is made.

When autumn comes and the whole harvest is gathered, the vineyards should be treated with strong preparations that do not muffle, but completely destroy the disease.

A wide variety of fungicides often confuses inexperienced gardeners. The opinion of each remedy can be obtained from more experienced winegrowers. Although this article has told enough about common drugs. To choose one of them, you need to evaluate the merits and read the instructions for use.
