Fungicide "Ordan" [instructions for use, reviews, safety]

Reviews of the fungicidal drug Ordan, produced by August (avgust crop protection), Russian Federation, are contradictory: some do not praise it enough, while others criticize it. Let's say right away: the scolders themselves are to blame. At least in the fact that they didn’t look closely at what they were buying and/or didn’t really read the instructions. Ordan is a good fungicide, especially for small private plots, where crop losses hit the family budget particularly hard. But technologically, Ordan is quite strict, and you need to use it with knowledge of at least the basic properties of the drug and the features of its use. This is what this article is intended to help the reader with.

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.

The most attractive analogues in terms of breadth of application and price are highlighted in green; the most unattractive ones are highlighted in red.

Drug name	Description of the drug (breadth of application)	Price for Yandex. Market
HOM – copper oxychloride ⊕ how to use	Contact fungicide, the action of which is limited, compared to "Ordan"	50 rub. for 20 years
Oxychom ⊕ how to use	A contact-systemic drug, in addition to HOM, there is oxadixil, directed against fungi of the oomycete class. The causative agent of late blight belongs to them.	70 rubles for 10 g.

These and other similar products have one common property - preventive protection . This is explained by the contact action of copper oxychloride. The compound does not have a therapeutic effect; it does not allow the infection to develop in the initial stage of infection. If the disease is started, “Ordan” and its analogues will not be able to cope with the problem.

"Abiga Pik" is one of the agalogues of the fungicide "Ordan".

Consumption rates

Ordan is used for various crops. In order for the drug to start working in the shortest possible time, you need to know how much working solution is required for a specific type of vegetables and shrubs.

Potatoes planted in beds are susceptible to a disease called tuber spot. It attacks the potato pulp, causing it to rot. Preventive spraying is carried out during the growing season.

Infected bushes are treated no later than two days after the infection is detected. The interval between therapeutic sprays is two weeks. Five liters of working solution is enough to treat one hundred square meters of plantings.

Ordan eliminates late blight from tomatoes. The pathogen affects the leaves and fruits of the vegetable. Covered with whitish mold, they quickly die, leading to the death of the entire bush. Disease prevention is carried out at the beginning of the season, when 4 true leaves are formed on the trunk.

To cure a diseased plant, you need to spray at intervals of several weeks. One hundred squares of plantings will require 8 liters of working solution. Ordanum is very popular, along with traditional fungicides.

Ordan is effective for grapes. This crop is susceptible to fungal diseases such as mildew or downy mildew. It damages shoots, inflorescences, leaves, tendrils and berries of grapes during the period of fruit set. Upon examination, you can notice oily spots of various shapes. The berries turn brown and dry out in a short time. The consumption rate for grapes is 6 liters per hundred square meters.

If you do not treat in time, the infected bush will die over time. Ordan is used as a prophylactic against the development of rot. One hundred square meters will require 5 liters of working solution. Tillage around strawberries is allowed.

Fungal diseases can destroy lush bushes of garden flowers. The fungicide works well on roses. This plant is threatened by rust: bright orange spores appear on the wood and leaves on the undersides. Infected areas thicken and dry out. At the first signs of disease, rose bushes should be treated with Ordan or another fungicide containing copper. You will need a sprayer with a finely dispersed injection so that the solution covers the leaves with a thin layer of the working solution. For floriculture, 5 g of the product is diluted in a liter of water.

Reviews

Andrey: This is not the first time I’ve bought Ordan. I use it for prevention and medicinal purposes on plants in the garden and greenhouse. I was very worried about late blight: last year, due to weather conditions, it bloomed wildly. But with the help of Ordan, he managed to reason with this dirty trick. I processed the tomatoes in the greenhouse every two weeks.

Nikolaev: I have been using the drug for a long time. I use it both for the prevention and destruction of fungal infections on coniferous plants. I have a lot of them. As soon as the needles began to turn brown, I treated the plants with Ordan, then repeated the treatment two weeks later. Ordan managed to stop the process. Now every spring I spray my Christmas trees for preventive purposes.

Svetlana: the drug is very good, reliable, but poisonous. I treated greenhouse tomatoes for late blight without a respirator, and then I felt sick because I inhaled the fumes. But thanks to Ordan, I defeated late blight.

Tamara Igorevna: all season she protected her tomatoes with Ordan. Why is it good: after processing, you only need to wait 5 days before harvesting the fruits. However, those who hope to defeat the infection in one swoop may be disappointed. You need to spray the vegetables at least three times if you don’t want the disease to return.

Purpose

The fungicidal drug Ordan acts in three directions: it destroys fungal spores, restores the cells of garden crops, and is also used for preventive purposes. Fungi can affect fruit trees, vegetables, berry bushes, and flower beds. It is to combat them that fungicides are used (from fungus, i.e. mushroom and caedo - to kill). There are a huge variety of fungi, and, depending on their type, garden crops develop one or another disease. Ordan instructions for use:

Vineyards

Grapevines are susceptible to mildew and late blight. Ordan is an excellent choice for a gardener to combat these diseases. For prevention the drug is used during the growing season ; in the spring, each vine should be treated with a three percent solution; in the autumn, after harvesting, the treatment is repeated. If the vines are already infected, it is necessary to treat them at least three times with a break of ten days.

Brown rot is a type of fungal disease that can affect young tomatoes. To avoid infection, it is enough to follow simple rules: when the tomato seedlings have already taken root in the greenhouse or open ground (about twenty days after planting), you need to spray the seedlings with Ordan's solution.

The second time the treatment is done in August, since rains and temperature differences (night and day) can lead to a recurrence of brown rot. If the plant is already infected, you can try to cure it by spraying it at least five times, about once a week. If the tomato cannot be cured, the plant should be removed and destroyed, and the soil should be disinfected.

Powdery mildew is a dangerous disease that can destroy cucumber seedlings. The spores of these fungi are very persistent and can persist in the soil for several years. Mildew affects cucumbers regardless of the development phase. The reasons are high humidity, cold precipitation , temperature differences between day and night, a large amount of condensation on the greenhouse film, incorrectly applied fertilizers, etc. As soon as signs of this disease appear, the following measures should be applied:

Stop fertilizing and greatly reduce watering
In cold weather, provide cucumbers with additional insulation with film or other material
When the humidity is reduced, the plants should be treated with Ordan's solution, and this spraying should be carried out at least three times, an interval of seven days.
When the harvest is harvested, spray the plants well, and after a day remove them with the rhizomes and disinfect the ground.

Flower crops

Garden flowers can be affected by rust. It is easy to identify - orange spots appear on the stem and leaves, the leaves dry out and fall off . In this case, Ordan will also help. It is necessary to treat each bush with the working solution of the drug at least three times, the interval is ten days.
