Fungal diseases of agricultural crops are very common and difficult to treat. But if the disease is not stopped in time, you can not count on the planned harvest.
The domestic fungicide Ordan is considered one of the best drugs of its kind. Among other drugs, it stands out for its effectiveness against pathogens of a number of known diseases of grapes and other crops. According to reviews from grateful gardeners and gardeners, the use of the drug Ordan helped them save their plants and crops from death. Let's look at what you need to use it for and how to do it correctly.
Composition of the drug
According to the instructions, the Ordan fungicide contains 2 active ingredients with different properties. Together they make up the unique formula of the drug:
- Copper oxychloride. Contact fungicide. The substance has a powerful fungicidal and bactericidal effect. Being on the surface of plant tissues, it stops the process of mineralization of compounds of organic origin, the fungal spores are left without nutrition and die after some time.
- Cymoxanil. This contact-systemic fungicide has a healing and protective effect. It quickly penetrates plant tissue, destroys fungal spores that are in the incubation stage, and at the same time restores cells damaged by them. Validity period: no more than 4-6 days.
Thanks to 2 components with different properties, Ordan has a complex effect: it prevents the penetration of infection into plant tissues, treats infected plants, inhibits and kills pathogens of various diseases. The instructions for use of Ordan indicate that its therapeutic effect lasts 2-4 days, its prophylactic effect, preventing diseases, lasts 7-14 days.
Action of the Ordan
Ordan contains two active components: copper oxychloride - a contact substance that inhibits the cells of phytopathogenic fungi, and cymoxanil - a local-systemic component that quickly penetrates plant tissue and suppresses the biosynthesis process in pathogen cells. The protective effect of Ordan can last 1-2 weeks, and the healing effect – 2-4 days. The main advantage of Ordan is that it has a protective, healing, and disease-eradicating effect.
Analogues of Ordan to one degree or another are the drugs Horus, Kurzat, Acrobat MC, Ridomil Gold, Shavit F, Polyram and Paracelsus.

Being in the ground, it does not move into groundwater and does not have a suppressive effect on soil microflora. It is destroyed under the influence of soil microorganisms to the simplest substances in 1-6 months.
For people and warm-blooded animals, it is slightly toxic or moderately toxic (hazard class 2 or 3). Does not irritate the skin and does not increase its sensitivity, but may irritate the eyes and respiratory tract if it gets into them, and if it gets into the stomach it causes inflammation.
Not dangerous or slightly dangerous for bees, but to be safe, insects must be removed from the fungicide treatment area during spraying and for the next 5-6 hours. Does not affect the taste of fresh grapes, the fermentation of grape juice when producing wine from it, or the taste of the finished product.
Theoretically, it is allowed to use it together with pesticides that have a neutral reaction, but before mixing both drugs must be checked for compatibility. If a precipitate forms in the common solution, they cannot be used together. It is forbidden to dissolve Ordan with alkali-containing products.
Analogs
Analogs of the product include copper-containing fungicides:
- HOM;
- Kurzat;

Reviews from summer residents
Evgenia Georgievna, 52 years old, Anapa
I always have the order in stock. I keep it for my garden and vegetable garden. I use it to process tomatoes, cucumbers, and potatoes. A couple of timely sprays are enough to protect plants from fungal infections. The drug Ordan is available, inexpensive, easy to use, and effective, so I am satisfied with it.
Konstantin, 37 years old, Kaliningrad
In our humid climate, plant diseases develop very quickly, so the use of fungicides is indispensable. I use Ordan for processing greenhouse vegetables. It copes with its task well - the plants practically do not get sick, grow well and bear fruit abundantly.
Maria, 29 years old, Gelendzhik
I use Ordan on grapes and garden flowers for preventive and therapeutic purposes. It is highly effective on any crop, does not harm plants, and is relatively safe. I can recommend this drug to all gardeners and gardeners.
Compatibility
It is acceptable to use this two-component product with other fungicides, insecticides and fertilizer mixtures that have neutral or slightly acidic parameters. But it is not recommended to combine it with alkaline compounds, since a precipitate forms, the composition of the mixture changes and the effectiveness of use is lost. Before using two drugs, you should first test to ensure that the combination does not result in any flakes or other similar reactions.
Analogues and compatibility with other drugs
Ordan can be used with other fungicides and insecticides that have a slightly acidic or neutral reaction. The drug cannot be used with substances containing alkali.
When such components are mixed, a chemical reaction occurs that leads to the formation of a sediment. In this case, Ordan loses its protective properties. The resulting compounds may have a negative effect on plant growth.
The following fungicides can be used as analogues of Ordan:
- HOM – copper oxychloride.
- Oksikhom.
- Kurzat.
- Abiga Peak.
The preparations contain copper oxychloride, which destroys the infection at the initial stage of late blight.
Application area
Thanks to the contact-systemic effect of the drug, treatment with Ordan fertilizer strictly according to the instructions creates double protection for garden, ornamental, and berry crops from a number of diseases:
- late blight;
- peronosporosis of cucumbers;
- Alternaria (mold);
- downy mildew of grapes.
Fungicide Ordan is most effective if applied in the early stages of diseases, before the first symptoms appear. It is not addictive and maintains the sensitivity of pathogens to the active substances. Thanks to the fungicide, the intervals between treatments of cucumbers and tomatoes, potatoes, onions, strawberries, grapes, roses, indoor and ornamental plants are longer than when using other drugs.
Storage
The shelf life of the drug is 3 years. The place for storing it should be dry and dark, since the sun's rays have a destructive effect on the active components. You should not use the powder after the expiration date, it loses its effectiveness.
The fungicidal agent Ordan has a triple effect on pathogens, and has mostly positive reviews. The product has proven itself to be highly effective and universal; it can be used to treat both home and garden crops. It is important not to exceed the recommended dosage, adhere to all precautions, and not use for other purposes. Only proper use of the working solution gives a chance of harvesting a rich harvest.

The product can be used as a way to combat the occurrence and spread of fungal infections in the early stages of infection, as part of a set of measures to prevent mycotic diseases.
The double strength of the product, when it enters plant cells, suppresses the development of pathogenic microorganisms, destroys their structure, and inhibits enzymatic processes. The action begins after 40 minutes. after processing the culture. Parallel components of the product increase the ability of plants to regenerate and adapt after infection.

Speed of exposure and period of protective action
The antifungal drug begins to act after 40-60 minutes. after penetration into plant cells. Complete destruction of fungal spores occurs, depending on the severity of the lesion and the type of crop, from 4 to 21 days. Onion plantations, nightshade plantations and vineyards are cleared of infection after 20 days.
It is possible to prevent the development and spread of late blight and peronospora on cucumber and tomato crops in three to four days. To completely eradicate mycotic infections in the infected area, three times treatment will be required throughout the crop growing season.
The effect after treatment, depending on the type of disease, can last for 30-45 days.
