Application of the drug Tiovit Jet for grapes
For protection, Tiovit Jet is often used for grapes. It is an effective treatment and prevention tool.
Chemical composition and mechanism of action
According to its chemical composition, Tiovit Jet is a fungicidal and acaricidal preparation of contact action with a wide range of applications. According to the instructions, it is used to treat and suppress a number of fungal diseases and eliminate parasites on grapes.
It is available in granular form and is easily soluble in water. The main active ingredient is sulfur. The content rate is 800 g per 1 kg of the finished product. When it comes into contact with fungal bacteria, it destroys the cellular base and suppresses their development, while not exerting a negative effect on the plant and preserving its microflora.
In the process of dissolution for processing grapes, the active granular substance acquires a dense liquid consistency, effectively retaining in the form of a viscous film on the surface of the treated vegetative parts of the vine.
Tobit Jet destroys pathogenic microorganisms. It is used against:
- fungi,
- acaricides,
- oidium.
When using the chemical, the effectiveness of the protection of the vine is ensured for up to 10-14 days. The duration of the action is influenced by the scale of damage to the plant and weather conditions.
Application advantages and limitations
Among the main advantages of using a chemical preparation are noted:
- the absence of a strong phytotoxic effect on the plant, as a result of which there is no suppression of the growth and development of the vine,
- safety for animals and humans, subject to the basic rules for the preparation of working fluid and its use specified in the instructions,
- a simple way to prepare a working solution and its subsequent use,
- versatility, which makes it possible to use it for processing other crops.
Limitations of use
The crop harvested from a vine treated with a medicinal chemical is suitable for use in the food industry and should be consumed after 2 days after processing.
Cooking technology
According to the instructions for use, the granular substance is initially diluted in a small volume of water until the granules are completely dissolved, then the total amount of liquid is increased to the required volume.
The consumption rate of the active substance for the preparation of the working solution depends on the purpose of using the chemical:
- for treatment against mite parasite - 40 g of granular product per 10 liters of water,
- for spraying against powdery mildew - 50 g per 10 liters of water.
Application procedure
The prepared working fluid is used immediately after preparation. Do not process immediately after rain.The right time for the procedure is in the morning and evening in calm weather. The solution is evenly distributed throughout the plant using a spray bottle.
The drug is used for prophylactic and therapeutic purposes.
Against ticks
Spraying grape vines against ticks with Tiovit Jet is carried out during the growing season after the first signs of the appearance of the pest are detected. The consumption rate of the working fluid is 1-1.5 liters per 1 hectare of the planting area. Processing is carried out once.
Against oidium
For prophylactic purposes, the vineyard is treated with Tiovit before the beginning of the flowering stage, with subsequent procedures repeated at intervals of 8-10 days. The frequency of treatments depends on the weather.
For medicinal purposes, grapes are sprayed with Tiovit in case of primary symptoms of a grapevine lesion with a fungal infection. The frequency is 2 times with an interval of 8 days. The consumption rate of the working fluid is 1-1.5 liters per 1 hectare of the planting area.
Conclusion
The use of the chemical preparation Tiovit Jet allows you to effectively fight against the appearance of acaricides and fungal infections on the vine. Ease of use for spraying and watering makes it possible to use it for novice winegrowers.
