This fungicidal drug has long been known to gardeners and gardeners. There are a lot of myths about Tilt’s actions that are often mistaken. To understand when it is most useful, we study this tool in more detail.
Active ingredient and release form
The fungicide that is marketed is a concentrated emulsion. Its basis is propiconazole, which is part of a 25% fraction. The tool can also be offered in the form of a wettable powder (then the concentration reaches 37%). Chemists include the drug among triazoles.
Consumers can buy Tilt in a 5-liter canister or prepackaged in granules (1 ml).
What is Tilt used for?
Used in the manufacture of propiconazole has a mechanism of action that is effective for combating diseases of the stems and leaves. When entering the plant, it fairly quickly stops the action of the pathogen (most often it is a fungus) and does not allow its disputes to develop further.
Important! In the Russian Federation, this drug is prohibited for use in household plots. Before using it, it is better to think once again or at least calculate a safe dose.They use it to combat powdery mildew, rust, septoria and other diseases. True, peronosporovye fungi that cause false dew, the solution is not able to remove.
The main crops for which this tool is used are cereals, clover and rapeseed. Tilt in moderate concentration is also useful for grapes (oidium cures). Yes, and moniliosis of fruit trees is easily amenable to the action of the solution.
Did you know? Fight against fungal plant diseases began in ancient Greece. In the X - IX centuries BC. sulfur was used for this.
Among merits This product is worth highlighting:
- The possibility of application at any stage of the growing season;
- Long acting;
- A large list of pathogens that can be eliminated;
- Stimulation of growth after treatment;
- Moisture resistance;
- In the heat, the effect only increases;
- Low consumption;
- The possibility of preparing a mixture with other drugs.
There are also minuses. For example, pronounced resistance - Tilt in its pure form is addictive in plants, so it is better to mix it with other fungicides. Many agronomists note that by itself such a composition is intended primarily for large farms, and not for the backyard, therefore its use in the country house requires special care.
Fungicides also have a systemic effect: "Skor", "Titus", "Fundazol".
How to use the drug: method of use
For prophylactic use, 0.2-0.3 ml of concentrate per liter of water is taken. If the symptoms of the disease have already appeared, the rate increases to 0.4-0.5 ml / 1 l.
When making the solution, start with a small amount of water in which you have to dilute the emulsion. Then bring the water up to 1 liter.
For large-scale processing, the scheme is the same: you need 10 liters - we take 2-3 g for prophylaxis or 4 g in case of illness, dilute it with a small volume of water, then add liquid until it reaches 10 liters.
The treatment is carried out in calm weather, the heat for Tilt will only help (although it is better to spray in the evening when the temperature drops below + 30 ° C).
Tilt, harvested for tomatoes and cucumbers, interfere in the same doses. It is necessary that the spraying is uniform, yet it is a strong composition, and its excessive use can destroy vegetables.
Summer residents better refrain from re-use of the above-mentioned drug. There is another caveat: before the harvest, there should be at least 40 days. Late processing can harm - first of all, people who will eat products for food.
Important! When preparing the mixture with other drugs, Tilt is first poured into the container, and only then other means are mixed in.Farmers do not face a similar problem. It is possible to process large areas occupied by grain, and twice a season. But here there are moments that relate to work. with different cultures:
- Wheat, rye and winter oats are sprayed for prevention for the first time. Medical "approach" is done in a month, while the consumption of the working substance is 20-30 ml / 1 sq. M (that is, 0.05 ml of fungicide);
- The same doses and terms are used for spring and winter barley. Only prevention begins with the advent of the 5th process;
- For rape try to take 20-40 ml of propiconazole per "square" (the same 0.05 ml). The second treatment is done only when absolutely necessary;
- Meadow clover requires twice as much fungicide (0.1 ml / 1 square meter) with the same amount of the main substance.
Impact speed and period of protective action
The drug begins to work within 2-3 hours after contact with the plant. If after an hour and a half after its introduction it began to rain, then do not worry. In 45-50 minutes Tilt manages to be absorbed into the stem and leaves.
The standard period of validity for the garden is 20-25 days (in the field this figure will be 30-40 days). During this time, the plants will accelerate a little growth. Fighting pathogenic fungi takes different times. So, rust pathogens will be “extinguished” within 2 days, and powdery mildew - in 4 days. The septoria type can resist 4-5 days.
Compatibility with other pesticides
It can be used to prepare tank mixes with other mineral fertilizers, growth stimulants and pesticides.
For tank mixes it is very convenient to use liquid fertilizers: sodium humate, potassium humate, biohumus. Of solid fertilizers, urea is often used.
The only exceptions are strong alkaline compounds rich in nitrogen compounds. About such "antagonists" can be obtained from the seller, and on the label they usually place a list of them.
Security measures
Tilt has a safety class 3 (moderately hazardous substance). Contact with skin or respiratory tract causes irritation. If the drug gets into your eyes, the damage will be much more serious. Therefore. Be sure to use closed, tight-fitting clothing, a respirator and safety glasses.
Important! Handling is prohibited in case of strong wind (speed of 5 m / s). Yes, and a slight rush can be dangerous.For poultry, the drug is non-toxic, whereas it may slightly affect the bees. As for the fish, then for it the solution will be a real poison, therefore it is impossible to drain the remains or wash the container in ponds and reservoirs (as well as into the sewage system). The first time after spraying on the site do not let the cattle.
First aid for poisoning
If you feel skin burning or vomiting, you should immediately do the following:
- In case of skin contact, gently wipe off the composition with a cotton swab or gauze. At the same time try not to rub the liquid. Then everything is washed off with water;

Term and storage conditions
Standard storage period is 3 years. In order for the product to retain its useful properties during this time, it is kept in dry, dark rooms at temperatures from –10 ° C to + 35 ° C.
Did you know? In 1705 it was proved that chlorine mercury keeps grapes healthy. A little bit later, arsenic and lime began to be used to process wheat. And only after a century and a half these radical methods were abandoned.
Note that the three-year warranty period applies to drugs that are in an unopened container. If the canister has already been opened, then this interval is somewhat reduced.
Now you know about Tilt everything you need for safe use. We hope that this is useful when processing the site. Good yields!
