For you, we have created communities on social networks in which useful articles and interesting ideas are published several times a day! Subscribe and receive useful content in a convenient format! It has long been noted that “Abiga-PIK,” although it is a chemical preparation, is still distinguished by its versatility and relative softness. Its correct use does not lead to “contamination” of the crop with heavy chemical elements harmful to human health.

Description of the drug, its characteristics and composition

The main active ingredient in Abiga-PIK is a copper compound - copper oxychloride. It is copper that has a pronounced inhibitory effect on unwanted fungal flora.

1 liter of standard solution in packaged containers contains 40% copper oxychloride.

The product is sold in different forms:

• 12.5 liter canisters - for large agricultural complexes.
• Small containers of 50 ml or 1.25 l.

An important feature is that the drug can only be used diluted . Moreover, first the required dosage is diluted (we will talk about this later for each crop separately) in 1 liter of water, and then the resulting mixture is additionally diluted in a 10 liter container.

Only then do they begin to process the plants.

Processing rules and terms

It is necessary to treat plantings with the Abiga-Pik fungicide by choosing a day when there is no expected precipitation, in dry and windless weather. This is done after the morning dew has dried, but before the sun's rays are too active. The solution is diluted for one use and stored for several days without losing its effectiveness.

Spraying the fungicide "Abiga-Pik" for various crops:

If spraying is carried out in a greenhouse or other enclosed space, you need to make sure that animals, birds, and unauthorized persons, especially small children, do not have access to it. Doors and windows should be closed and the room ventilated after a quarter or half a day.

In what cases is the use of Abiga-PIK prescribed?

In modern gardening, Abiga-PIK is used quite often. It is mainly used to prevent fungal diseases. But it also helps in the fight against their development, including at an extremely advanced stage.

The three most important rules for use:

1. Do not use in pure form.
2. Strictly observe breaks between treatments.
3. Do not apply 2-3 weeks before harvest.

Otherwise, the product is considered to be quite mild, not deposited by heavy chemical elements in fruits and roots, but at the same time extremely effective.

Abiga-Pik: reviews of those who used the fungicide

Tatyana, 46 years old, Perm region I have many different fruit trees growing in my garden, all of them are already mature and give good results. But so that they do not suffer from fungal diseases, they have to be treated with fungicidal preparations to obtain a good harvest. In recent years, I have been using the Abiga-Pik fungicide for this. This drug effectively fights all diseases, but most often, after the spring preventive treatment of trees with this drug, my trees do not get sick during the summer season.

Mikhail, 54 years old, Novosibirsk region Grapes, strawberries and various fruit trees grow nearby in my garden plot. It is very convenient that all these garden crops can be treated against fungal diseases with one drug - Abiga-Pik. In early spring, I immediately prepare a large amount of working liquid from this fungicide and spray all my garden crops. During the summer, if necessary, the treatment can be repeated.

Irina, 44 years old, Lipetsk region In my garden there are several flower beds in which mainly perennial flowers grow, in particular roses. But last year rust appeared on the foliage of my flowers. I had to treat the bushes with a solution of the Abiga-Pik fungicide. One treatment was enough for my flowers to “recover.” But in the fall I carried out another spraying with this drug - for prevention.

The instructions for use of the Abiga-Pik fungicide state that this drug can be used as a preventive and therapeutic agent against many fungal and bacterial diseases. Moreover, the drug is quite effective at air temperatures not lower than +10 degrees Celsius, is easy to use, and is resistant to unfavorable climatic conditions.

What diseases does the remedy work for?

"Abiga-PIK" is a fungicide that has proven itself for use against a wide range of diseases of fungal origin on all types of plants (including fruit and vegetable crops).

The main active ingredient in the composition is copper oxychloride. When contact processing the surface of plants, a film with a high copper content is formed on them. Copper interacts with fungi and bacteria and affects them in such a way that the processes of protein metabolism and spore formation slow down in them.

At the same time, in normal, recommended dosages, “Abiga-PIK” does not in any way affect the taste and quality of plant fruits.

REFERENCE. In agriculture and private gardening, the drug is successfully used to treat fruit and vegetable crops, ornamental plants, vineyards, field lands, and forests.

Maximum effectiveness has been proven against the following common fungal diseases:

• anthracnose;
• powdery mildew;
• bacteriosis;
• white rust;
• brown spot;
• black spot;
• moniliosis;
• mildew;
• oidium;
• scab;
• peronosporosis;
• late blight;
• fusarium;
• cercospora blight

Phytophthora on tomatoes
By the way, an important point: “Abiga-PIK” and many of its analogues are harmless to bees.

The product has proven itself best in the form of preventive treatments, as well as in the early stages of development of the fungal population.

What does the drug consist of and in what forms is it produced?

Abiga-pik goes on sale in various containers. These can be bottles of 50, 75, 1250 g, as well as canisters weighing 12.5 kg. A wide variety of release forms allows each user to choose the right product - it is suitable for treating individual trees or large gardens and parks. The drugs are supplied for sale along with detailed instructions, which tell how and in what quantity to use the substance.

The fungicidal effect of the aqueous suspension is due to the content of copper oxychloride in it. Its concentration is about 400 g/l. This is quite enough to destroy fungi and pathogenic bacteria that often infect coniferous plants.

Instructions for using the fungicide "Abiga-PIK" for different plants

The most important part is preparing a solution from the purchased Abiga-PIK drug. Precisely a solution, because in its normal state the concentration of the active substance will be very high and can destroy the plants.

ADVICE . In the case of Abiga-PIK, it is not recommended to dilute the mixture in iron containers, as chemical reactions may occur, as a result of which compounds dangerous to humans will later settle in the fruits of the plants.

“Abiga-PIK” is diluted in plastic or glass containers. Two important principles are followed:

• First, the concentrate is diluted in 1 liter of water , stirred well, and allowed to stand for a little while.
• Then add clean water to the mixture until approximately a 10-liter bucket is filled . The desired solution is obtained with a consistency of approximately 0.5%.

The resulting solution is sprayed onto the plants. They try to hit all above-ground parts and capture the surface of the soil.

There are no differences in the consistency of the Abiga-PIK solution - it is approximately the same for all types of treatment. It is much more important to observe the frequency of treatments and the required breaks between them. Here, different cultures may have their own characteristics.

How to use for grapes? (will help with powdery mildew, mildew, spotted anthracnose)

A slightly lower concentration is recommended (40 grams of product per 10 liters of water). But it is also possible to use the standard version.

Spraying should be carried out most actively at high humidity in the warm season. For the entire growing season - up to 6 times a year. Between treatments - at least 2 weeks break.

21 days before harvest, application of the product is completely stopped.

How to dilute cabbage?

It is not recommended to use for cabbage, as some unsafe substances may accumulate in its head.

How to use for cucumbers? (will help with penosporosis, anthracnose, bacteriosis)

Cucumbers need no more than 3 treatments with a standard solution. In this case, it is advisable that Abiga-PIK not be used at all during the flowering period.

Application for tomatoes (will help with late blight, brown spot, alternaria)

You need to use a 0.4 or 0.5 percent solution. Up to 4 treatments are carried out per year. Preferably no more than this number.

The first begins after 2-3 weeks from planting the seedlings. Then, at intervals of 2-3 weeks, they process further. It is no longer worth spraying tomatoes 14-20 days before harvest.

Use for strawberries (will help with brown spotting, white spotting)

The standard mixture is used strictly before flowering and after harvesting. Breaks between treatments are at least 3 weeks.

How to breed for indoor flowers? (will help with white rust, brown spot)

The standard mixture is treated approximately 2 times a year. More is not recommended.

You need to spray strictly in a well-ventilated area and leave the flowers there for at least a day. Only then return it to the house to its permanent place.

For garlic and onions

Garlic and onions are suitable for treatment tactics no more than three times a year. Moreover, it is important to remember that this fungicide cannot be used when growing onions.

For garden flowers: roses (against spotting, rust)

“Abiga-PIK” can be used with all decorative garden flowers. But the product has proven itself especially well with roses.

For work, take a standard mixture of 50 grams. of the drug diluted in 10 liters. water. 2 treatments per season are enough.

How to breed for fruit trees? (will help with scab, moniliosis)

A standard solution (0.5%) is taken. Both trees and fruit bushes can be treated.

No more than 4 applications before harvest are recommended. The first two are before the formation of the cutting funnel. The second two are after flowering as the fruits ripen.

Action

The main substance of the drug is copper oxychloride. This component, when interacting with spores of infection carriers, releases active copper, which inhibits their respiration and growth, thereby suppressing a large number of proteins necessary for life in pathogen spores. This greatly reduces the resistance of pathogens to the drug.

• Fungicide Maxim - instructions for use

To destroy infection on plants, they are sprayed with Abiga-Pika solution, and the weather does not have much influence on its effectiveness: the main thing is that the air temperature is not lower than 9 ºC, and the wind speed is not more than 5 m/sec.

Analogues of Abiga-Pika to one degree or another are Bordeaux mixture, Medex, Kurzat, Kuprozan, Oxychom, Horus, HOM, Ordan and Kuproksat.

Advantages of the drug:

• Abiga-Peak densely covers the surface of the external organs of the plant due to the high dispersion of the active component;
• the adhesive reliably fixes the composition on the leaves and stems;
• the drug has no resistance;
• the fungicide increases the resistance of crops to fungal infections;
• unused working solution can be stored for a long time.

How quickly does Abiga-PIK begin to act?

The product begins to have a direct effect on harmful fungal flora within the first 2-3 hours.

Interestingly, after application, a kind of protective shell of copper compounds is formed on the plants, which then allows the plants to maintain excellent immunity to repeated fungal infections for a long time.

INFORMATION: “Abiga-PIK” is not washed off for a long time by rain and watering. It can be used near bodies of water without fear of clogging the soil and water.

Preparing the solution

To treat plants, it is necessary to prepare a stock solution. A bottle of the drug (40-50 g) is diluted in a liter of water. After this, add a bucket of water (10 l) to the mother solution and mix thoroughly.

Prepare a solution of the drug Abiga-pik.

The diluted drug is consumed immediately and is not stored. During spraying, it is advisable to create a 2-kilometer protective zone for beneficial insects. The low-hazard pesticide Abiga-pik is allowed to be used in environmental zones, near open water bodies.

Use with insecticides

Abiga-pik is characterized by good compatibility with most fertilizers and chemicals for plant protection. Allowed to be used simultaneously with modern pesticides and insecticides. Before starting use, it is advisable to check the reaction of the components of the drugs to interaction.

There are situations in which the use of a fungicide is prohibited:

• The appearance of flocculent sediment;
• Increasing the temperature of the solution;
• Cloudiness of the liquid;
• Active release of gases.

To obtain a sample for testing the mixture, you need to dilute several products in equal proportions in one container. It is better to take a transparent container in which it will be easy to determine the result of the interaction of the components.

Composition of the drug and mechanism of action

Fungicides are a type of pesticide aimed against fungal plant diseases. Contact fungicides are chemicals that contain sulfur and its compounds, metal salts, phenol derivatives, and sometimes antibiotics.

But not all substances are equally safe. For example, while effective antifungal agents, cadmium and mercury salts are toxic to humans, and phenolic compounds are toxic to plants. Copper-containing fungicides (sulfate, hemioxide, chloroxide) have become optimal from the point of view of safety and effectiveness.

Uniform distribution over the surface protects the shoots from re-infection and the spread of infection. The drug is active against all common types of fungi and many groups of bacteria, which adds to its popularity.

The fungicide is low-hazard (class 3): it does not penetrate leaves, fruits and tubers, does not affect their taste, and is easily washed off with water. Accidental contact with soil is not critical - the concentration is too low.

For small areas, a bottle with a capacity of 1.25 kg or even 50 g is sufficient. If you plan large-scale processing, purchase a 12.5 kg canister. The greenish suspension dissolves perfectly in water. The finished solution has almost no odor.

Peculiarities:

• the product is highly dispersed (the smaller the active particles, the more densely the surface being treated is covered - better protection);
• A special adhesive additive has been added to the composition so that the solution remains on the surface of the plants longer.
• Abiga-Pik is compatible with other pesticides. For complex treatment of plants, they can be mixed in one container.

Reviews from gardeners

Galina, 50 years old, Volgograd

The drug Abiga Peak has become a real salvation for my garden. The composition contains copper, which protects plants from the spread of fungus. One 50 ml bottle is enough to treat 6-7 trees. I use the drug to prevent spotting, scab, rust and other diseases. The product is not harmful to insects, but is toxic to fish. When I spray trees in early spring, I always wear gloves, a hat, and a long-sleeve shirt.

Egor, 42 years old, Rostov-on-Don

I use the drug Abiga Peak for preventive spraying of my garden. I use the product for apricots, cherries and grapes. I dilute the emulsion with water and spray the trees with the resulting solution. The fungicide begins to act after treatment and is not washed off by rain. A reliable remedy for protecting the garden from diseases.

Yuri, 37 years old, Sochi

Last year, the grapes showed signs of anthracnose. The disease quickly spread and destroyed all young shoots. The store recommended the drug Abiga Peak. The product must be diluted in water and sprayed on the plants. Before using the drug, all shoots with traces of the disease were removed. A total of 5 treatments were carried out. Gradually the disease subsided and the grapes recovered. Next year I plan to carry out preventive treatments.
