Planting fruit trees is just the first step to growing them and getting a quality crop. It is known that every plant in any garden needs care and maintenance. A mandatory procedure in the care of the garden is to spray.
This event will save the trees from pests, in addition, will avoid many diseases. Effective prophylaxis against diseases and plant pests is the treatment of them with special preparations - insecticides and fungicides. The most effective of them is the fungus "Dnok".
Reviews
The first thing to say about this drug: it is approved for use exclusively in industrial gardens and vineyards. The tool is strictly not recommended for use in summer cottages and in home viticulture.
Virtual space is teeming with indignation of users directed against the owners of specialized sites advertising the drug and containing information on how plants are treated with the help of fungicide "Dnok". The reviews “appeal” to the conscience of manufacturers and sellers, demand to refuse to sell the drug, since people are etched with it, and threaten to contact the prosecutor's office if there is no reaction.
According to other users, this tool can be used, but with caution. Some gardeners provide information that they learned from the literature describing the "bottom":
· The use of funds is permitted at a distance of at least 1 km;
· You can use it once every 3 years.
Still others emphasize that the name “Dnok” is not included in the list of drugs for retail trade, and ask how amateur gardeners should be, should they use this product or not?
"Bottom": processing plants, instructions, reviews
There is another category of users. Many gardeners are loyal to this drug. They willingly argue on the networks that the fungicide “Dnok” is really poisonous, the treatment of plants with the drug should be done with great care and exclusively in large farm gardens (formerly state and collective farms), which are located outside the villages. But it’s no secret that now all kinds of pests and pathogens of diseases (thyroid gland, pseudoscutis, moniliosis, kleasterosporiosis, coccomycosis) have bred more than ever. In order to protect trees from diseases, as well as the devastating effects of pests and to preserve the crop, it is necessary to use, due to its undeniable effectiveness, the fungus “Dnok”.
Processing plants with this tool should be carried out exclusively in industrial gardens. Fortunately, the instruction is always in the public domain.
Users acknowledge that the situation with fungicide is rather twofold: on the one hand, everyone understands that it is very toxic, on the other - what about the owners of home gardens? Apply this poison, at least periodically, to those who have no desire to lose crops and the trees themselves.
In general, honestly warning fellow hobbyists about danger, gardeners provide everyone with a decision to make. Many are ready to share their experience of using the Dnok fungicide in private gardens: plant treatment, instructions, reviews are presented in exhaustive quantities. Users agree on one thing: in some cases, failure to use the drug may entail certain death of the garden. Mention of a more effective means of pest control in the reviews there.
Networks recommend
For those who nevertheless dared to use it and want to know how the plants are treated with the help of the fungicide “Dnok”, the instructions should be carefully studied.
· Gardeners recommend in order to prevent poisoning of the microflora of the soil before treatment, cover it with plastic wrap. This will preserve the life of bacteria, microbes, worms and other beneficial inhabitants of the soil, stimulating the formation of humus and increasing the fertility of the earth.
· Some reviewers dispute this method, since the topsoil is the wintering spore of many fungal diseases, and it is advised to replace “Dnok” with “B” or iron and copper sulfate.
· Users also mention a new drug - it is Brunka insecto-acaracid fungicide, an analogue of Dnok, which is approved for use in household plots and summer cottages in the CIS countries.
According to reviews, the "bottom" effectively helps from pests and tree diseases. Gardeners talk about how the plants were treated using the "Dnok" tool. How to breed? Be sure to consider this, but a little later. In the meantime, let's talk about the time and processing methods.
· It is necessary to mix fungicide and “Preparation No. 30” - the mixture will not be washed off by precipitation for a long time, which helps in the fight against scab and scabies.
· Apply "bottom" in the fall should be after leaf fall.
· It is noted that the use of nitrogen compounds in the processing of plants in autumn reduces their frost resistance. Using the drug in the spring, you can get the effect of abundant fertilizing with nitrogen fertilizers. At the same time, gardeners noticed that all the forces of the plant go not to pest control, but to the development of foliage and shoots. Therefore, users are advised to treat the plants with Fufanon or Plus Actara ash solution first. After leaf fall, treat with urea, and the use of the drug "Dnok" and "Preparation No. 30" to postpone until spring.
· It is also advised to treat the fallen leaves with urea, bury it in trenches with a depth of one and a half bayonet. With the advent of spring, apply “Dnok” together in “Preparation No. 30”, and urea in the spring of next year.
Convinced supporters of the drug
Some gardeners are categorically determined to use the drug - those who have had to survive significant crop losses from pests. They willingly share information about how plants were processed with the help of the "Dnok" tool. The manual was studied very carefully. For this category of users there is no alternative to this tool. As an argument in his favor, they put forward the claim that the composition of fertilizers is much more harmful to the health of both children and adults.
Even more categorical reviews contain the authors' belief that with this tool nothing else can be compared at all - they characterize its effect on pests and pathogens as eradicating. Regarding its toxicity, the authors advise doubters to look around and pay attention to household chemicals that are used in every bathroom and kitchen, and take an interest in the composition, as well as the characteristics of the effect on the human body. The authors recommend that users carefully study the information on how the treatment of plants is carried out with the fungicide "Dnok". The instruction (in autumn or spring, the product is used - it does not matter) contains detailed information about this process. When using a toxic drug, the necessary precautions should be observed.

How to apply fungicide "Dnok"? Instruction:
Typically, the drug is used in early spring before buds are opened in order to resist fungal diseases and pests in the wintering phase.
For this:
· Dissolve the drug (50-100 g) in water (10 l). Water (1-2 l) is cast into a separate container. The measured part of the chemical is dissolved in it.
· The concentrated solution is poured into the prepared water, stirring vigorously.
· Consumption recommended by the manufacturer: 10-20 kg / ha (for trees), 8-15 kg / ha (for shrubs);
· The optimal indicator of air temperature for the use of the drug is plus 13-20 degrees. Lower temperatures decrease its pesticidal activity. Higher (25-27 degrees Celsius) contributes to its evaporation.
· It is not advisable to use Dnok in a mixture with other chemicals.
· Processing young trees at rest can cause burns to the bark and inhibition of growth.
Spring processing
It is recommended to treat the trees using the “Dnoka” in the early spring (before the budding of the buds) or in the late fall (provided there is no sap flow and air temperature is up to 5 degrees).
In early spring, plantations suffering from severe infection by aphids or other pests are sprayed with 1% of the drug "Dnok".
Spraying should be flushing. The aboveground parts of the trees are especially carefully processed; carefully, thin branches should be moistened with working fluid - on them the aphid eggs winter in bulk.
In order to destroy the eggs of red-headed aphids wintering on the trunks of apple trees, it is necessary to rinse the trunks especially carefully. Spraying is carried out using protective equipment.
Consumption rates
The tool is used in volumes:
10 l / 100 sq. m - to protect apricot, peach, cherry, plum from the wintering stages of ticks, scale insects, aphids, moths, leafworms, tinnitsa, as well as from diseases: klyasterosporiosis, coccomycosis, spotting, moniliosis, curly.
15 l / 100 sq. m - to protect the apple tree, pear, quince from the wintering stages of leaf-sheaths, mothworms, moths, honeypots, moths, leafworms, aphids, ticks, scale insects, as well as diseases such as scab, moniliosis, etc.
8 l / 100 sq. m - to protect grapes from the wintering stages of pests and parasites (ticks, worms, etc.), as well as from anthracnose, cercosporosis, oidium, spotted necrosis and other diseases.
15 l / 100 sq. m - to protect currants and gooseberries from the wintering stages of scale insects, pseudoscapules, copperfish, moths, aphids, leafworms, insects, ticks. And also from powdery mildew, anthracnose, septoria, rust.
Autumn processing
"Dnok" is a pesticide of a complex, contact-eradicating action. It provides for the simultaneous manifestation of insecticidal, acaricidal, fungicidal and herbicidal activity. Precipitation and high humidity are favorable conditions for penetration into the bodies of shrubs and fruit trees of pests and pathogens.
Conditions of humidity and low soil temperature contribute to the penetration of the working solution into the soil to a depth of 7 cm, where they have a pesticidal effect. With increasing temperature and drying of the soil, the drug shifts to the upper layer.
Autumn is considered the period of effective use of the drug "Dnok". Processing of plants in the fall provides for the termination after any introduction of any operations with the soil. They must be performed before using the drug.
In autumn, an eradicating spray is usually carried out with a 0.5-1% solution in the period after the leaves fall. The drug is exposed to the soil with fallen leaves in order to destroy the infectious principle contained in them.
In view of the increased toxicity of the product, it is necessary to first study all the information supplied by the manufacturer about the Dnok fungicide (plant treatment, instructions, safety measures and the like).
In autumn, as in spring, using a chemical, all necessary precautions should be observed.
Personal Protective Measures
When working with the “Base”, it is necessary to carefully protect the skin and respiratory organs.
To do this, use clothing made of dustproof fabric, a gas mask, gloves, rubber boots, which are removed after a preliminary wash.
After spraying, first, without removing, wash the gloves and gas mask. Do not use your bare hands to touch protective equipment and clothing that has been exposed to the drug during operation.
High guaranteed effectiveness, a wide range of actions, providing increased yield of the treated plants, as well as a relatively affordable price, make the drug unique and popular among consumers.
