Reviews

Arina: when dark spots appeared on the grape leaves, I was advised to treat the vine with Abiga-Pik. The result was a pleasant surprise: the drug gave a good effect and, importantly, turned out to be easy to use.

Olga: I am a summer resident with extensive experience, so I confidently recommend this drug for regular treatments of tomatoes, potatoes, grapes, flowers and fruit trees against any fungal diseases.

Natalya: used Abiga-Pik against late blight on nightshade crops - tomatoes and potatoes. The effect was almost instantaneous. Before this I used Fundazol, but Abiga-Peak is much more effective.

Sergey: Abiga-Pik has one drawback: it is difficult to find during the season. That's why I buy it in advance. The drug is not addictive to pathogens; in addition, it is good not only as a therapeutic agent, but also as a prophylactic agent.

Oksana: on our small summer cottage there is a decent tomato bed. Every year we fought against late blight, but with varying success. Abiga-Peak, which our neighbors recommended to us, is very helpful, and now we are coping with late blight much more successfully.

Mechanism of action of the drug

The principle is to combine the active component with pathogenic spores. Copper blocks the respiratory and growth functions of microorganisms and reduces their activity.

Features of application:

• regular use of copper preparations slows down the growth rate of certain vegetable crops;
• It belongs to the group of moderately hazardous drugs and has low phytotoxicity.

Such qualities of the drug allow it to be used for the treatment and preventive treatment of plants. It is safe for grape harvest and fruit plants.

Main diseases of ornamental conifers

The tips of the needles begin to turn yellow for various reasons. In the spring, the bright sun causes burns and a bronze appearance appears. Common infections include fungal infections. Rust appears more often on pine, and juniper is affected. From swellings that appear on the branches, spores are transferred to currants and pears. Fusarium, cytosporosis, and phomosis are considered dangerous diseases. Thuja suffers from them. Defects appear on the bark and branches. The needles darken and fall off.

Old, unkempt trees are susceptible to diseases. There are breeds of conifers that are resistant to fungal diseases. But they are not immune from caterpillar attacks. There is only one conclusion: if you plant evergreen forest wonders on your site, study ways to combat infections and pests.
