Fital 25 g

Packaging: 25 g.

A systemic fungicide belonging to the phosphorous acid derivatives class. The main distinguishing feature of systemic fungicides is that they penetrate the plant and act from within. Within the plant, they move translaminarly from the upper surface to the lower (abaxial) surface of the leaf and from there—in an acropetal movement—to the plant’s oreal zones. Every systemic fungicide possesses these modes of penetration to some degree, but only Fital (aluminum phosphites) exhibits basipetal transport, meaning it penetrates the lower parts of the plant (roots, tubers), protecting them from pathogens. This, for example, explains the improved storage of potatoes, the more vigorous development of the root system in cereals and other crops, and other positive effects of Fital on a given crop. Even a small amount of aluminum phosphite, by disrupting the integrity and permeability of the pathogen’s cell membranes, completely blocks spore germination on the leaf surface and inhibits hyphal germination and mycelial growth (curative and preventive action). In addition, phosphorous acid derivatives significantly activate the plant’s own immune system, sharply enhancing the fungicidal effect (redox enzymes are activated, in particular peroxidase, which participates in defense reactions). The product penetrates the plant 30 minutes after spraying, spreads rapidly throughout the plant, and begins to take effect.

The preparation contains up to 2% copper sulfate. Copper, in turn, is a component of oxidative enzymes (polyphenol oxidase, ascorbate oxidase, lactase, dehydrogenase), which play a significant role in the oxidative processes occurring in plants. This element enhances the intensity of plant respiration. Additionally, this additive is intended to enhance the preventive action of Fital (copper inhibits spore germination and suppresses vital proteins of pathogens). However, as has been demonstrated in practice, a synergistic effect (enhancement of action) occurs between copper and aluminum ions when they are present together in the plant, which enhances the therapeutic effect of the preparation. All of the above factors confirm the multifunctional action of Fital, which explains its uniqueness and significant difference from preparations of other classes. Thus, Fital belongs to the class of inorganic compounds, unlike, for example, Alettu and its analogues, which are distinct organophosphorus compounds. Fital is a compound in which the hydrolysis of the active ingredient occurs several times faster than in organophosphorus pesticides.

Phosphorous acid, a component of Fital, is released from its salts as a result of hydrolysis directly within the plant. In soil and water, aluminum phosphites hydrolyze very rapidly, with the products of hydrolysis being aluminum hydroxide and phosphorous acid. Aluminum compounds are naturally present in the soil in the form of aluminosilicates and other compounds; that is, these substances are inherent to the environment itself. With the participation of soil microorganisms, phosphorous acid is oxidized to phosphoric acid, which is bound by soil colloids or used as plant nutrition, that is, it is converted into a substance inherent to the soil as a natural substrate.

It is also important to note that aluminum phosphites are a phosphorus-based complex compound. Thus, the phosphorus in the preparation is in an easily accessible water-soluble form, meaning it is more readily available to plants than in mineral fertilizers. Due to more optimal phosphorus nutrition, Fital stimulates the plant’s uptake of hard-to-access nitrogen, thereby increasing the “efficiency” of nitrogen fertilizers.

Thus, the use of Fital significantly reduces the environmental impact on the agrobiocenosis, thereby improving plant growth conditions and ensuring phosphorus nutrition for plants.

Protective action period: 14–21 days.

Fital is effectively used in vineyards against mildew, powdery mildew, and other diseases; on fruit and vegetable crops against the most common diseases; on cereals, soybeans, rapeseed, sugar beets, and other crops against the most harmful diseases.

Application rate of working solution: from 200 L/ha to 2000 L/ha depending on the crop.

Early morning or late evening spraying with standard sprayers is recommended at temperatures not exceeding +20°C. Do not apply less than one hour before rainfall.

The working solution is prepared by dissolving the product in water immediately before application. To prepare the working solution in tank mixtures, fill the sprayer tank 2/3 full with water, add the required amount of products while the sprayer agitator is running, and then add the remaining water. Working solution application rate: field crops—200–400 L/ha; for vegetable crops and potatoes—400–600 L/ha; for vineyards and fruit crops—800–1,500 L/ha; for hops—800–2,000 L/ha. First application: potatoes—when plants begin to close the rows; tomatoes—5–7 days after transplanting seedlings into the ground; other crops—preventive treatment at the beginning of the growing season. Subsequent applications—at the first signs of disease.
