The main remedy in the fight against the ubiquitous fungus and rot is timely seasonal treatment. Fungicide Topaz will become your faithful assistant in an effort to keep your garden healthy. But remember that this is a strictly specialized drug, so it is important to strictly follow the instructions for use. We have collected all the key information in one description!
How the fungicide works
If most fungicides strive for universal action, then Topaz does not have such a task - it is deliberately highly specialized. The active ingredient is penconazole in liquid form, in small bottles or ampoules. It suppresses the infection right in the bud, before it penetrates the leaf tissue.
If you use the drug when watering, it fills the structure of the plant even faster and protects all its parts from the roots. Topaz reaches the youngest shoots, but it is quite safe. It belongs to a narrow group of fungicides that can be used fearlessly in an apartment.
Application of Topaz
With all the diversity of the modern market, Topaz has no competitors against powdery mildew. It is used alone or with other pesticides in a complex tank mix. It demonstrates good performance against spotting, scab, gray and fruit rot, cercosporellosis, septoria, oidium.

Advantages
Topaz shows amazing performance and is suitable for most crops. It has a very variable application time and number of treatments. It is neutral in relation to other pesticides and does not give unexpected reactions, so it is suitable for complex integrated schemes.
Topaz is almost independent of weather conditions and is equally good in a garden or a room. The main effect appears in a day, but the protective effect lasts up to 2 weeks. It is one of the few fungicides that does not lose its effectiveness outdoors in early spring.

Flaws
Topaz has almost no flaws other than its limited scope. It has a benchmark against powdery mildew, but it is not as effective against other diseases, so we recommend using multiple drugs.
Over time, Topaz accumulates in the soil, and the decay period slowly increases with each treatment. Therefore, experts do not recommend bringing it in for several years in a row. The drug is toxic to some fish and moderately hazardous to birds with bees.
Topaz dosage
Considering that Topaz is a specialized drug, the dosage hardly changes, 2 ml per bucket. Just to fight rust, it needs to be doubled - this does not affect the condition and growth of plants.
For trees you need 2-5 liters, for bushes - up to 2 liters, for beds - up to 5 liters per hundred square meters. For berries and stone fruits, up to 2 sprays are allowed for the first time and up to 3-4 in the future. Indoor plants are treated as symptoms appear.

Preparation of fungicide solution
Dilute Topaz in a bucket or immediately in a tank, and use a syringe for indoor flowers. Then the Topaz, which remains in it, can be tightly closed and stored in a dark place until the next time.
When using Topaz, be sure to wear gloves and then wash your hands and face thoroughly. If the fungicide gets on the skin or mucous membranes, immediately rinse this place intensively and, if you feel well, consult a doctor.
