BUVICID K SE

Active ingredient: 370 g/l captan containing suspension concentrate fungicide

Safety symbols: Xn, N

Effect on honey bees: non dangerous.

Liquid spray against fungal and bacterial diseases.


Efficacy

BUVICID K is a contact fungicide based on plant oil that contains additives with adjuvant and sticking properties. The additive forms an elastic, air-permeable film layer on the applied surface. This film layer stabilises the active ingredient that washed out very slowly. The period of efficacy is much longer than that of WP or FW formulations. The biological efficacy is increased by the oil based additives that increase the penetration of lipoid soluble captan through the membrane of the cell. The amount of captan for a hectare in the case of BUVICID K SE is 20-30 percent lower than in the case of other captan containing products because of additives that increase the efficacy and adhesion.


Scope of application

Alternaria diseases (Alternaria solani, Alternaria lycopersici, Alternaria pori) Peronospora diseases (Plasmopara viticola, Pseudoperonospora cubensis, Peronospora brassicae, Bremia lactucae, Peronospora destructor) Apple scab (Venturia inaequalis) Phytophthora diseases (Phytophthora infestans) Monilia of stone fruits and apple (Monilia laxa) Shothole of stone fruits (Stigmina carpophila) Peach leaf curls (Taphrina deformans) Grey mould (Botrytis cinerea)

BUVICID K SE reduces the viral diseases because the plant oil clogs the sucking organ of viral vector aphis and leafhoppers, and they could not infect more plants.


Mode of application


Pome fruits

Application against apple scab could be started from the beginning of blossoming as a prevention, after a copper hydroxide + sulphur + plant oil (CUPROSUL SE) overhead spraying. The treatments should be repeated in 7-10 days intervals depending on the infestation. The product could be applied in rates of 2.2-3.0 l/ha in 800-1000 litres of water. BUVICID K SE should be supplemented with systemic products in the case of high infestation.


Stone fruits

Application is recommended to start with a preventive overhead spraying with copper hydroxide + plant oil (CUPROL SE) product. It could be applied against Taphrina in peaches in 7-10 days intervals, against Monilia blossom and shoot infection in cherries, sour cherries, plum and apricot at the beginning of blossoming. It is recommended to apply it as a soaking spraying against Monilia fruit rot during fruit development in 10-12 days intervals.

It could be used in rates of 2.5-3.0 l/ha against grey mould during flowering before the closure of clusters, at the beginning of the colouring of the berries. The product has a side effect against to Phomopsis and Eutypa species that cause necrosis of vine-branches and vine-stock. It decreases the activity of viral vector leafhoppers.


Potatoes, tomatoes

The application should be started against Phytophthora, Septoria and Botrytis preventively at the beginning of the flowering. The product should be applied in rates of 2.0-2.5 l/ha with 400-600 litres of water in 8-12 days intervals depending on infestation.
