Fungicide "Rex Duo" is a remedy that is used to combat various types of fungal diseases that develop on cereal crops (barley and wheat), sugar beet, and pea. It also helps to slow the drying of the foliage and prolong the growing season for a period of 5-7 days.

Preparation of the working solution and its application

According to the instructions for use, the Rex Duo fungicide must be diluted first in a small amount of water. The rate of consumption of a substance depends on the type of culture and disease. When the drug dissolves, you can add more water to the required volume. The finished working solution is poured into the sprayer and used for a day. It can not be stored, since it then loses its effectiveness.

Crops are sprinkled only once per season. Sugar beet can be processed twice, but with a break of not less than two weeks. Plants are sprayed at least twenty days before harvest.

Cultivating crops is best in the early morning or evening in windless weather. The optimum air temperature at the time of spraying is from +12 to +25 degrees.

The rate of consumption of a substance depending on the specific culture

To cure crops (barley, winter and spring wheat) from diseases such as septoriosis, rheshosporiosis, pyrenoforosis, all types of rust and spotting, and powdery mildew, it will take from 0.04 to 0.06 ml of substance per 1 sq. Km. M. Sprinkle plants once a season during the growing season. The substance remains active for thirty days.

Sugar beet from cercosporosa, powdery mildew and ramularia is sprayed for preventive purposes during the growing season. When there are repeated symptoms of the disease, the spraying is repeated. The rate of fungicide consumption per 1 sq. Km. M in this case is from 0.05 to 0.06 ml. The duration of the drug is 21 days.

For spraying peas from ascohitosis and gray rot, it is necessary to have 0.06 ml of Rex Duo per 1 sq. Km. M. The treatment is carried out during the growing season. The substance remains active for twenty days.

Fungicide "Rex Duo" can be used for complex treatment of plants along with other protective substances and liquid fertilizers. The drug is considered compatible with others.
