Fungicide Accord, m.s., Donetsk region.

Fungicide of contact action with acaricidal properties for combating diseases of fruit crops during the growing season.

Active substance: copper hydroxide, 150 g/l; sulfur, 300 g/l
Manufacturer: Peters & Burg Ltd., Hungary
Formulation: oil suspension
Tare unit: 5 l canister

Mechanism of action. When applying the drug, a protective layer is formed on the surface of the plants, which prevents the development of the pathogen. Copper ions are absorbed bymycelium of the mushroom and cause denaturation of protein complexes, including enzymes. This leads to disruption of metabolic processes in the cell of the pathogen, and then to the death of the pathogen. Sulfur disrupts the transport of electrons in the cytochrome chains of the pathogen's cell membrane. This leads to a violation of metabolic processes in the cell of the pathogen, and then to its death.

Recommendations for use. The drug is applied prophylactically when the weather conditions favor the development and spread of diseases, or immediately before the primary defeat of plants (before the spores of the pathogen germinate on the surface of plants).
The maximum effectiveness of the drug on pathogenic organisms is observed when it is used in combination with systemic fungicides.

The waiting period from the last processing toharvest is not less than 30 days.
The exit of people to perform mechanized work is allowed 3 days after the introduction of the drug, for manual work — after 7 days.

The consumption rate of the working solution. When applied using a groundsprayer it is 800–1000 l/ha. The flow rate of the working solution should ensure full and uniform wetting of the plant surface during application, as well as prevent the working solution from running off the surface of the plants.

Processing conditions depending on culture.
Vineyards In vineyards, the drug is applied during the flowering period and after flowering. The first treatment should be carried out when the average daily temperature exceeds 10 0C, and the length of young shoots is 10–15 cm or more. The following treatments should be carried out at intervals of 10–15 days.
Apple tree The drug is applied to apple trees before and after flowering. The first treatment is carried out during the period of bud formation. Subsequent treatments are carried out at intervals of 10–12 days.
Under favorable conditions for the development of the disease, the interval between treatments should be reduced to 7–8 days.

Weather conditions. The optimal air temperature for the application of the drug is 12... 20 0C.
Abundant precipitation can wash off part of the drug from the surface of plants, thus reducing its protective effect. Therefore, in such cases, it is recommended to re-introduce the drug with the minimum recommended consumption rate to renew the protective screen.

Compatibility with other drugs. The drug is compatible with the vast majority of pesticides that are used to protect gardens and vineyards, with the exception of drugs based on fosetyl aluminum, thiram and sulfur, as well as drugs that form an acidic reaction of the working solution. In each specific case, it is necessary to conduct a test of the components of the tank mixture for compatibility.

Preparation of working solution. To prepare the working solution, fill the sprayer tank with water to 1/3 of the volume, turn on the mixing mode and add the required amount of the drug. Top up the sprayer tank to full volume with the mixing mode turned on. When applying the drug, the mixing mode should be turned on to maintain the working solution in a homogeneous state.
