Fungal disease is an uninvited guest in our garden that can cause a lot of trouble. Moreover, it is quite difficult to fight fungal infections that are already obvious. They develop quite quickly, and some develop simply at lightning speed. Therefore, drugs such as fungicides were discovered to help gardeners. These are chemical compounds that make it possible to effectively treat plant seeds and completely rid them of fungal spores, as well as treat adult plants for the purpose of preventing and treating this type of disease. Today we want to tell you about the fungicide “Quadris”. The instructions for use call it one of the most progressive modern means for combating a whole range of fungal diseases.
Recommendations for use
In fact, a systemic fungicide helps in the fight against a variety of ailments of cucumbers and tomatoes, onions and grapes, strawberries. That is, for a gardener it is simply necessary to have it on hand in order to get a good harvest. However, why are we interested in the Quadris fungicide today? The instructions for use state that it is quite safe and at the same time has a preventive, therapeutic and eradicating effect. The drug has excellent antisporulating properties. It enhances and prolongs leaf photosynthesis.
Reviews of fungicide Quadris
Quadris helps even when other drugs become helpless in the fight against fungi. The remedy is strong, many people use it only in emergency cases, but the drug always helps.
- Masha Gora : “Last year my tomatoes were attacked by late blight. This disease, as you know, is difficult to eliminate, so I thought I would have to throw away the bushes, but then I tried the Quadris remedy. I treated it twice with an interval of 10 days. As a result, the tomatoes survived and even produced a decent harvest. So I liked the product, and I will continue to use it as needed.”
- Alexander Nosov : “I have been using Quadris for my plants for more than 5 years. What I like about it is that it acts quickly, is effective, and the price is relatively affordable. It helps both when the disease has just appeared and when it has been on the plant for a long time, so I use it regularly. I heard that you need to use it no more than 2 years in a row, but in my case it has been helping for 5 years, the fungi have not yet adapted.”
- Vadim Kolesnik : “I was advised to use Quadris to treat anthracnose in grapes. I bought it, tried it, and the product helped after just 2 treatments! When using it, of course, you have to wear a special suit and a respirator, but as a result, the vineyard is saved, so I’m happy and recommend it to everyone - it definitely works on grapes!”
Using the drug in the garden
Is the Quadris fungicide suitable for all garden plants? The instructions for use of the drug note its complete safety and excellent adaptability to a wide variety of varieties and types. That is, you can spray the entire garden without fear, while observing the recommended dosages. Recent decades have been marked by an unprecedented rise in viral and bacterial diseases, and all garden crops without exception are susceptible to them. Initially it was believed that they could not be treated, but then the fungicide Quadris was developed. The instructions for use emphasize that the drug has a persistent preventive and systemic therapeutic effect. The most important thing is that it is not too late.
Crops and diseases
Let's now take a closer look at what crops and with what frequency Quadris TM (fungicide) is used. The instructions for use list almost all garden crops that can be protected from bacterial diseases with the help of this drug. Potatoes are primarily treated against late blight and alternaria. During the summer period, 2 treatments will be required, and the last one is recommended to be done 7 days before harvest. Cabbage is treated for rot directly in the autumn, before harvesting the fruits. Onions suffer most from blight and fusarium wilt, and “Quadris” also helps to cope with these diseases. Onion beds are processed twice a season, the last time a week before harvest. With the help of "Quadris" you can effectively fight powdery mildew on cucumbers. It is permissible to spray the bushes three times during the season, but it is not recommended to remove the fruits within five days after treatment. The situation is similar with tomatoes; their drug most often treats late blight and brown spot.
Advantages and disadvantages
Quadris is an innovative product that has its own advantages:
- clear focus against sporulation of pathogens;
- effectiveness against dangerous microorganisms and neutrality towards almost all beneficial fungi (this is very important for novice gardeners, who cannot always immediately recognize an infection by its symptoms);
- safety for soil microflora;
- limited translaminar action (accumulation occurs in leaf blades, there is no penetration into shoots or fruits);
- Fruit harvesting is allowed 3-4 days after treatments;
- protective properties do not depend on weather (valid in the range from +4ºC to +30ºC);
- compatible with a large number of fungicides (Topaz, Dzherelo, Defender);
- combined use with biological products is allowed;
- in addition to protecting and treating plants, Quadris helps increase immunity and resistance to adverse weather factors;
- It is allowed to treat the seeds before sowing (according to the instructions).
On a note! It is not allowed to use Quadris with other products containing strobilurins, as well as with herbicides.
Instructions for fungicide:
- belongs to toxic agents (for humans - hazard class II, for inhabitants of water bodies - I). This requires compliance with safety measures during processing, taking into account the location of areas and plantings in relation to ponds, rivers, streams;
- Causes pathogens to become addictive, which reduces their effectiveness over time. It is allowed to use Quadris for no more than 2-3 years in one area, and it is necessary to alternate treatments with other fungicides;
- due to the penetration of the active substance into the flowers of plants, it is prohibited to use Quadris during flowering (may cause poisoning of bees);
- It is phytotoxic for most crops, so it is necessary to strictly adhere to the dosage of the product, as well as the processing rules.
- to completely destroy fungi, it is necessary to use Quadris with preparations of a different chemical base;
- high price.
For each crop, the manufacturer has developed specific dosages and consumption, so when processing, it is necessary to strictly observe the proportions and act strictly according to the instructions.
Toxicity and storage
The drug is dangerous to humans and poisonous to the inhabitants of ponds, rivers, and lakes. During work, the active substance penetrates through the mucous membranes, skin, and respiratory organs of a person, therefore, when working, they use special clothing and monitor the condition.
Phytotoxicity of Quadris manifests itself in blocking flowering and fruit formation in plants. In case of an overdose, productivity indicators sharply decrease or the plant does not bear fruit at all.
Thresholds of toxicity indicators are different for crops: Quadris fungicide is less dangerous for lawn grasses, onions (grown for turnips), and tomatoes. The threshold for fruit trees tends to zero, so cultivation of the vegetable garden next to garden plantings must be carried out very carefully.
When working on large areas, separate sprayers for the garden and vegetable garden are prepared in advance. After treatment, the residues are disposed of and the containers are thoroughly washed.
Analogues of the drug
Like many fungicides, Quadris has analogues whose effect on pathogens is identical. The list includes:
- Folicur - produced by Bayer, used mainly on grain crops and rapeseed;
- Strobi - produced by BASF, active ingredient - kresoxim-methyl (from strobilurides);
- Consento is a fungicide from the group of systemic drugs, produced by Bayer. It is used against late blight and alternaria on tomatoes, potatoes, and against downy mildew on onions;
- Prosaro is a systemic fungicide from Bayer. It is highly effective when used on grain crops, rapeseed, corn, peas against septoria and fusarium.
If necessary, these drugs can be used instead of Quadris, taking into account the instructions.
Main advantages of the drug
First of all, it is worth noting that the therapeutic effect lasts 2 days. That is, this makes it possible to completely destroy the pathogen and spores that are in the incubation period. At the same time, the eradicating action makes it possible to completely stop the development of the infection and its spread in the area. It is for these effects that gardeners choose the drug “Quadris” (fungicide). Instructions for use, reviews from experienced gardeners provide useful information to beginners who are faced with the problem of fungal diseases for the first time. First of all, reviews emphasize that this is the only drug that protects plants from a whole bunch of the most common diseases. “Quadris” makes it possible not only to protect and cure plants, but also to extend fruiting by 2-3 weeks. This is a unique remedy that is not prohibited from being used during the harvest period. Moreover, using it immediately before harvesting fruits significantly increases their safety in cellars and storages. Quadris is completely non-toxic to bees and the environment.

Features of using the drug
So, how to use the Quadris fungicide? The instructions for use recommend adding other fungicides per 10 liters of water. What is it for? The fact is that there are a lot of diseases today, and not every summer resident can determine what exactly the plant is suffering from. Therefore, it is recommended to prepare a solution with the widest possible spectrum of action. An additive to this drug can be the systemic fungicide "Alyette", as well as "Dzherelo", "Defender" and a number of others. Consider this point when preparing the medicinal solution.
If you have large crop areas, then you will definitely have to repeat the treatment to prevent an outbreak of the disease. Therefore, after two successive treatments with Quadris, it is necessary to change the active substance and use fungicides with a mechanism of action different from strobilurins.
Be sure to check the weather forecast and do not apply the product to wet foliage or when thunderclouds are gathering and it may rain in the next few hours.
Active ingredient of the drug Kvalris and analogues
Fungicide Quadris, an extract pre-diluted with water, intended for spraying plants in the morning and evening, on a windless day, so that the chemical does not get on neighboring plants. The substance of the drug, due to its translaminar action, penetrates through the leaf blade to the plant, thereby protecting it from all sides from infection attacks due to its pronounced antisporulation effect. Its ability to inhibit the spread of infection, destroys the spread of fungus. The drug helps to destroy the development of the disease at an early stage of its occurrence, acts prophylactically, reducing the likelihood of infection already during the first treatment of the plant.
To spray tomatoes and potatoes in greenhouse conditions, a special type of Fungicide is used - Grimme (Germany), Kverneland (Norway), Ekengards (Netherlands), intended for treating the soil before planting.
The consumption of the drug should be such that during spraying the entire surface of the plant is wetted. To achieve a good result, before processing, you need to adjust the sprayer to a fine spray.
Under no circumstances should you use the same sprayer to treat apple trees that was used when using fungicides to treat other plants. Due to sensitivity to the drug, some varieties of apples may die.
But as for spraying grain crops, it does not matter what substance the previous treatment of the plants was carried out with. Here the main task is to adjust the speed of supply of the solution so that the drug is evenly distributed throughout the plant.
The sprayer is adjusted taking into account the type of plant and the consumption rate of the solution for treating the crop.
In one season, the crop must be processed at least three times.
The best analogues of the drug, which are the most effective means of fighting infection:
- Phoenix;
- Derosal;
- Vmal Trust.
Drug consumption
It is very important to know in advance how to distribute the Quadris fungicide. Instructions for use for 10 liters recommend adding 5 ml of the drug, however, it is important to understand that the resulting concentrated solution should be sprayed only on the leaves, without dripping onto the ground. Therefore, use the finest spray and do not overdo it: a small amount of the drug can solve the problem just as well. But apple orchards are very sensitive to this drug, so it is not recommended to use even the equipment through which the Quadris treatment was carried out on apple trees, since the remnants of the drug can cause great harm.
Precautionary measures
The use of Quadris requires special clothing with a protective waterproof coating. The drug belongs to hazard class 2, but is not fatal to humans. The maximum harm that can be caused by a substance is poisoning.
Work clothes should cover mucous membranes and hands. The drug is able to penetrate the body through pores. All containers for diluting the working mixture are stored separately from food and other chemical and organic mixtures. All work related to diluting the working fluid must be carried out in a separate room.
Preparation of the solution
Let's dwell a little more on how to prepare a working solution of the drug "Quadris". Fungicide (100 ml) instructions for use suggest diluting in parts, depending on the size of your garden. The sprayer is filled with water a third, then the drug is added to it and the mixer is turned on. After this, you can add water and begin processing. The working solution must be consumed immediately on the day of preparation.
Use in vineyards
Those who have grown vines know well how prone they are to fungal diseases. That is why gardeners enthusiastically accepted the appearance of the drug “Quadris” (fungicide). Instructions for use for grapes suggest performing the treatment three times per season, and make sure that the last one is no later than 25 days before harvest. In this case, Quadris is used only together with other fungicides. Spraying is carried out during the growing season, during and after flowering, on green berries. Consumption – 1,000 liters per hectare. After treatment with Quadris, it is necessary to use a fungicide with an excellent mechanism of action. Vineyards are treated against mildew and oidium, gray rot, black spot, and infectious drying out.
Description of the fungicide Quadris
Quadris is a Swiss-made fungicide. Used against fungal diseases. Available as a suspension concentrate in ampoules of 5 and 6 ml. You can also find Quadris on sale in 1 liter bottles.
Important!
Quadris fungicide does not contain sulfur, phosphorus and metal ions, as is the case with many other fungicides. So it has no negative effect on crops or the environment, and does not accumulate in the crop.
Photo of fungicide Quadris
The main active substance is azoxystrobin. It destroys the fungus and prevents it from spreading. After the disease is eliminated, azoxystrobin breaks down into nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen and carbon - completely safe components.
Growing strawberries
The most common ailments of strawberries are white and brown spots and gray rot. The diseases are quite serious; they can completely destroy the entire crop. Preventive treatment of these ailments is not only desirable, but also necessary. How is “Quadris” (fungicide) used in this case? The instructions for use for strawberries emphasize that a number of measures must be taken to ensure that your harvest is abundant and of high quality. In the spring, when the temperature rises to 10 degrees, it is necessary to treat with the fungicide “Horobi” or “Strobi”. This will provide protection against gray and white rot. After (about 10 days) it is very good to treat with the “Switch” fungicide. Just before flowering, it is necessary to spray the bushes with Quadris. But after flowering and during the ripening of the berries, it is better not to use any chemicals. Now, after harvesting, it is worth repeating the treatment with Quadris to ensure the health of the bushes for the next season. Judging by the reviews from gardeners, this fungicide is an excellent protection for your garden, a safe and very convenient drug to use.
