Fungicide "Strobi" - a real savior of your garden

The drug "Strobi": composition and release form

The product was created by TM BASF in Germany. The company has long been developing and producing high-quality biological and chemical plant protection products against harmful parasites. The drug contains kresomsim-methyl. It is he who is considered an active agent, which is obtained from natural strobucin. A complete list of component ingredients is indicated on the packaging label. It goes on sale in granular form, weighing from a few grams, usually 2 g. The product is completely soluble in water.

It is important to know! "Strobe" completely loses its properties when cold. The optimal temperature is +50C. The fungicide simultaneously acts on several types of pathogenic microbes. It can be used for both medicinal and preventive purposes.

Fungicide "Strobi" has many advantages

Storage rules and periods

Fungicide Strobi is kept in a dry, dark place, to which access to children and pets is blocked. The shelf life of the pesticide is 5 years. The finished working solution begins to deteriorate after 2 hours and loses quality. To maintain antifungal properties, the chemical is used after preparation.

Strobi is a systemic fungicide that can give plants reliable protection during the growing season. One drug gets rid of both fungal diseases and dormant forms of diseases. Following the instructions and safety precautions will protect you from unforeseen situations.

The principle of operation of the product

Once on different parts of the plant, the active substance (kresomsin-methyl) immediately begins to interact (react) with organic matter. As a result, a protective barrier is formed in the form of a shell, which prevents the penetration of pathogenic microorganisms. It has a depressing effect on bacteria that have already penetrated, which certainly leads to their death.

Having a wide spectrum of action, “Strobi” completely replaces the simultaneous use of various agents designed to suppress fungal infection.

The drug is used for:

1. Hardening the seed and strengthening it immediately before sowing in open areas.
2. Processing of fruit and berry trees.
3. Spraying plants for preventive purposes.

The drug treats:

• black;
• scab;
• rubella;
• gray mold;
• most varieties of spotting;
• rust;
• rot with late blight;
• powdery mildew;
• mildew;
• stemphylosis;
• tinder.

You should carefully read the rules for using the Strobi fungicide. The instructions for use warn against excessive use and non-compliance with the dosage for each crop separately; the drug should be used correctly and responsibly.

The drug "Strobi" has a wide spectrum of action

How does it work

“Strobe” evenly penetrates the structure of the leaf plates, distributed outside and inside, even when sprayed from one side. It suppresses the action of fungal pathogens and prevents the proliferation of secondary spores.

The dried substance creates a dense, indelible film on plants and penetrates poorly into tissues. The action of the fungicide appears after 2 hours for minor damage and after 2 days for severe disease. Retains protection for average infection for up to 14 days, for severe infection for up to 10 days.

Period of protective action

The duration of action of the fungicide depends on the degree of development of the plant disease:

1. If the infestation is not too advanced, it is enough to treat the plant only once.
2. If pathological processes have too much impact on the health of the plants, then the product should be used at least 2 times.
3. The period of protective action of "Strobi" in cases with an average degree of infection lasts 10-14 days from the moment of use.
4. For severe stages of damage – 7-10 days.

Begins to act after 2 hours after application.

Important! You can strictly follow these recommendations, but it is much better to carefully read the instructions for the drug “Strobi” fungicide. The instructions for use for grapes differ, for example, from the rules for use for flower or vegetable crops.

The duration of action of the fungicide depends on the degree of development of the plant disease.

Application procedure

Strobes cannot be stored in opened packaging. The working solution of the drug is prepared immediately before use and must be consumed within 2-3 hours. The preparation method is usual: fill the tank halfway with water, make a mother suspension in a liter or half a liter of water, pour it into the tank while stirring. The tank is topped up to normal, closed, shaken vigorously several times and get to work. Every hour (if the work has been delayed to the limit), the sprayer tank also needs to be shaken.

Instructions for treating horticultural crops with Strobi fungicide are given in the table:

For perennials, the first treatment is in spring, along the green cone (the beginning of the buds unfolding). Annuals are treated for the first time when the seedlings develop 2-3 leaves after planting in place. “Ground” annuals (sown immediately in a bed/container in a greenhouse) are treated for the first time when 3-4 true leaves are unfurled. Floral - the first time along the green cone and when the buds open. If roses suffer greatly from these diseases, the number of treatments can be increased to 3-4 per season, but then Strobi cannot be used in the same flower garden for the next year.

Note: according to empirical data from amateurs, Strobi is also effective against fly beetles and prevents bitter, moniliosis, penicillium and mold rot of fruits during storage.

Instructions for use "Strobe"

The best conditions for using Strobi are dry, clear and calm weather (no wind).

The rules for using the product say that each type of crop has its own timing and dosage:

1. Shrubs, fruit trees and grapes need to be sprayed at least 2 times over 1-1.5 weeks. The last treatment is carried out approximately 30 days before harvesting.
2. Flower plants should be sprayed in the same way (2 times a month). Duration - starting from mid-summer to its end: July (from the 1st to the 31st inclusive, or from the 1st of August to the 31st).
3. Roses of garden varieties will need to be additionally treated with the composition before preparing for wintering.

Vegetable crops need to be processed twice during the growing season. Before harvesting, wait a certain period of time:

• at least 10 days – for tomatoes and cucumbers grown in open ground;
• 2 days – cucumbers growing in a greenhouse;
• 2 days – tomatoes in closed ground.

It is best to carry out processing in the morning or evening.

Analogs of fungicide Strobi

Among Strobie's analogues containing the same substance, Ardent and Collis stand out. Among fungicides of similar action, the drug can be replaced with Fundazol, Topsin-M, Quadris and Skor, and among biological products - Trichodermin and Fitosporin.

Fungicide Strobi shows excellent results in the fight against common fungal plant diseases and in their prevention. It can be used to spray fruit trees and bushes, strawberries, vegetables, and save grapes from being damaged by dangerous diseases - oidium and mildew. The product is effective throughout the entire growing season of crops.

Consumption rates for different crops

Strobi granules are dissolved in water and the plants are sprayed. During the entire growing season, plants and shrubs are processed no more than 3 times. The time interval between manipulations is 14 days.

Plants are treated no more than 3 times during the entire growing season.

The general formula for preparing the composition looks like this:

1. For one spraying you need to prepare a bucket of water with a capacity of 10 liters. The water must be settled.
2. One package of granules is poured into a bucket - this is 2 grams.
3. Mix thoroughly so that the granules are well dissolved in water.

It is very important that alternation is observed in caring for vegetation. That is, treat once with one type of product, and a second time with another. This increases the effectiveness of the fight against pathological microorganisms and infection.

Flower protection

Fungicide "Strobi" for flower crops is used to cope with:

• rust;
• rot;
• spotted dew.

Sick plants are treated every 10 days. The composition is prepared in the following proportions: 10 liters of water per 5 g of Strobi. Roses need to be sprayed very carefully with the product, including the circle around the standard.

Vegetables

The spraying composition for vegetable plants is prepared at the rate of 2 g of fungicide per 1 10 liter bucket of water. The product effectively combats:

• late blight and powdery mildew on tomatoes;
• brown spots on peppers or carrots;
• blight on cucumber, onion or garlic.

The instructions for use indicate that the garden and its vegetation should be treated throughout the entire growing season.

The action of "Strobi" is aimed at eliminating scab with powdery mildew on fruit trees

Fruit trees

Scab with powdery mildew is the main pest of fruit trees. It is precisely to eliminate these processes that the “Strobe” action is aimed. It inhibits the germination of these pests and protects the plant from the influence of other harmful infections. The instructions for use say that to prepare a solution for treating fruit trees, you need to take one package of the product and dissolve it in a bucket of settled water.

The frequency of treatment should not be more than 3 times during the entire growing season. It is very important to alternate compositions with a similar effect with each other.

Fruit and berry crops

The treatment composition based on “Strobi fungicide” for grapes is prepared three times per season. The frequency of the procedure is once every 2 weeks. To prepare the solution, you need to take 2 g of Strobi and dissolve it in a bucket of water. Treatment area – up to 150 g per square meter. The last procedure is performed approximately 35 days before harvest.

Preparation of a fungicide solution

Dissolve dry Strobi granules and use the liquid within the next couple of hours after preparation. Choose a windless day and spray in the mornings or evenings so that the product remains on the leaves as long as possible and not under the bright sun.

Precautions when working with fungicide

The studies carried out gave a clear picture that the drug is not dangerous to human health, except for violations of the technique of working with it. There are rules of use that must be followed, especially if a person is prone to allergic reactions. Before working with it, you need to wear protective clothing, goggles and gloves.

You need to wear protective clothing, goggles and gloves before working with the drug.

When spraying it is important:

1. Do not allow liquid to come into contact with skin or mucous membranes.
2. If work is done indoors, you cannot stay there for more than 1 hour.
3. It is highly undesirable for animals and children to be in the spraying area.
4. Do not carry out work near water bodies or drinking water reservoirs.
5. Smoking, drinking or eating is not permitted during the procedure.

Spraying of vegetation on the balcony/loggia is carried out with the doors and windows open.

If you feel unwell after the procedure, you should immediately take up to 5 tablets of activated charcoal and artificially induce vomiting 15 minutes after taking them.

Precautionary measures

Strobi fungicide is classified as toxicity class 3 for humans, animals and birds. The remaining components are quickly destroyed, so they do not accumulate in the tissues of fruits and vegetables. The chemical is not toxic to pollinators and earthworms. After treatment, the pesticide does not penetrate into the deep layers of the soil and is not concentrated in the soil.

Do not pour the remaining solution into water bodies or spray it near aquariums. Application is prohibited at a distance of 500 m from fish farms. You cannot carry out activities such as washing sprayer parts near sources of drinking liquid. Used branded packaging is disposed of (burned).

The pesticide is not destroyed by ultraviolet radiation and is not afraid of rain, but calm, cloudy weather is chosen for processing. Due to drops of water, burns appear on the foliage. If procedures are carried out during windy conditions, the adhesion to the plates will deteriorate. The liquid will end up on the gardener, not on the plants.

A moderately hazardous compound causes harm only through direct contact. During agricultural activities in the garden, on the plot and indoors, be sure to use protective clothing, gloves and a mask. After the procedures, things are washed, and the person takes a shower. If the chemical gets on exposed skin, remove the residue with a damp cloth.

Strobi fungicide causes a very strong burning sensation on the mucous membranes. At the slightest contact with the eyes, rinse the organs of vision with plenty of water. If vapors are inhaled, remove the patient to fresh air. In case of accidental entry into the digestive system, symptoms of poisoning are observed:

• loss of consciousness;
• nausea;
• general weakness.

To induce vomiting, you need to drink a lot of clear liquid. Rinse your mouth, throat and lips with moisture. Absorbents (Enterosgel, activated carbon) are used to remove the chemical. Seeing a doctor will help minimize negative consequences.

Interaction of Strobi with other drugs

Complex action fungicide “Strobi” can be combined with other plant protection products. This enhances the effect on pathogens that cause very serious diseases. As mentioned above, it can be used as a medicinal drug and to prevent the development of diseases.

It is permissible to combine the complex action fungicide “Strobi” with other means.

It can be alternated with the following protective agents:

• "Delan";
• "Topaz";
• "Quadris";
• "Fastak";
• "Polyram";
• "Horus."

And other means that are similar in action. This is necessary so that harmful mycelium cannot adapt to kresomsim-methyl, which is in Strobi.

Flaws

Even such granules that are not too toxic are prohibited from being used near water bodies. They are dangerous to fish and other underwater inhabitants and accumulate in drinking water. Otherwise, the only downside is the local action. To avoid resistance and increase protection, alternate between different pesticides.

Fungicide Topaz: description, instructions for use

Purpose

All varieties of vegetables, flowers, fruit and ornamental plants can be treated with an antifungal agent. The chemical is used both for the destruction and prevention of diseases. The fungicide is effective against the following diseases:

• powdery mildew;
• late blight;
• sooty fungus;
• scab;
• spotting;
• Fusarium

The drug serves to prevent bacterial infection, prevents the development of any known microorganisms, and prevents recurrence of the invasion.

Active substance and mechanism of action of the drug

The main active ingredient of the drug "Strobi", which mainly affects pathogens, is kresoxim-methyl. The fungicide is produced in the form of granules that dissolve well in water. Compared to other similar preparations, “Strobi” penetrates into the very structure of the leaf, being distributed completely outside and inside it, and even if only one side of the leaf plate is treated (the plant absorbs only a small part of the active substance). The most pronounced reaction of apple and pear trees is a significant greening of the foliage, and this mainly indicates the complete destruction of the scab. This effect manifests itself after three procedures of spraying with a fungicide.

Reviews on the forum

The roses were very sick last year. Whatever the spots, it seemed like every type of powdery mildew was present. On the advice of a friend, a landscape designer, I sprayed the roses before covering them for the winter. The flowers looked healthy in spring.

I used Strobi when spraying apple trees. I liked that the drug has a reasonable price and gives excellent results after use. After the first application, significant positive changes are observed in the form of an increase in greenery. I would like to pay special attention to the number of treatments performed per season - no more than three times.

I used Strobi when spraying roses in the country against powdery mildew. I want to say that this is a very strong drug. After the first use, the effect is noticeable.

Analogs and compatibility with other products

The new generation drug "Strobi" is well compatible with antifungal agents of a similar composition. It can be safely used together with strobilurin fungicides:

• "Fastak";
• BI-58;
• Delan WG;
• Poleram DF;
• Kumulus.

Since the pesticide is quite expensive, some summer residents prefer to use older analogues:

• "Topsin M";
• "Prestige";
• "Trichodermin."

If the dosage and processing rules are followed, they are no less effective at protecting garden crops from pathogenic microorganisms.

Security measures

The chemical causes harm only upon contact, so personal protective equipment is used during events indoors and at the dacha. It is forbidden to pour the remains of the Strobi fungicide into bodies of water or spray it near aquariums. It is not recommended to use at a distance of less than 500 meters from fish farms. Do not wash the parts of the spray gun near sources of drinking water.

Distinctive features and advantages of the fungicide

Strobi fungicide has a significant advantage over many similar systemic drugs. He has quite a lot of individual characteristics and differences:

• the drug is used even during flowering of plants;
• during treatment, the substance spreads evenly onto the surface of the foliage;
• if the product gets on only one side of the sheet, then after a while it covers the entire plate;
• Strobi is a third-class hazard fungicide, it is safe not only for humans, but also for animals, birds, beneficial insects, and bees;
• the medicinal chemical is used in any weather, it is not afraid of precipitation, is not washed off by rain and functions functionally even after application to wet foliage;

Pros and cons of using

The drug Strobi has enormous advantages over other fungicides. Not only experts in creating fertilizer mixtures, but also gardeners and gardeners agree with the list. Those who have used the fungicide as support and therapy.

The first thing that should be considered positive is that the protective properties will begin to work with a small amount of Strobe on the plant. They last for a long time, despite weather conditions.

This leads to another advantage: spraying can be done on wet plants. The protection will work in any case. Since Strobi is non-toxic, prevention or treatment work is carried out safely on all living organisms. No need to worry about pets or bees, adults or children.

The advantages of using also include:

• work can be carried out at all stages of the disease. Even if it is powdery mildew and late blight;
• allowed to be used during the growing season and flowering period. 90% of fungicides capable of combating diseases are not capable of this;
• when applied to a plant, distribution occurs evenly without additional tricks;
• temperature conditions will not affect the mechanism of action of the drug. Stability is observed at -4 degrees;
• With the help of Strobi, it is possible to remove a wide variety of diseases that are found on garden and vegetable plants.

You can observe the results and effect of application after 2 hours with a mild infection. Provided that the stage of the disease is high, the process may take more than a week.

One of the negative aspects is the high price. But this will not become a hindrance if diseases arise that kill the entire vegetable garden.

Characteristics of the drug

Strobi fungicide is a complex chemical preparation used to treat various types of horticultural crops. A remedy for combating plant diseases of fungal origin was developed by the German company BASF and its appearance was the result of many years of work. The main active substance of the Strobi fungicide was obtained by conducting experiments with molecules . The material for the experiments was obtained from an edible mushroom that grew on cones and had a fungicidal effect.

The main active ingredient of the chemical is kresomsim-methyl. When it gets on the plant, a protective film is formed. When a fungicide acts on the pathogen, its cells are inhibited, which leads to its death.

The uniqueness of Strobi fungicide lies in its ability to replace the action of several fungicides. The drug has a simultaneous effect on a large number of pathogenic microorganisms. The product can be used both for the prevention and treatment of plant diseases at any stage of infection.

In stores, the product is presented in the form of a small package weighing 2 grams. Online stores offer packaging of 10 grams and 200 grams. The drug is made in the form of granules that easily dissolve in water. The price of the drug is very affordable.

There are not many analogues of the fungicide Strobi on the market for garden products to combat fungal diseases:

What can be processed and how to prepare the solution

Strobi fungicide can be used as a preventive measure for plant diseases or as a therapeutic agent. The drug can be effectively used as a means of combating diseases of a significant part of horticultural crops. They can be processed :

• fruit trees;
• grape vines;
• ornamental and flower shrubs;
• vegetables, for example, potato tubers, beets, carrots, tomato bushes;
• flower crops.

The working solution must be prepared immediately before starting work. The volume of the drug for its preparation depends on :
