Description and mechanism of action

This substance is a fungicide with acaricidal properties for controlling mites. It is used for the treatment and prevention of garden trees, vegetables, berries, and other crops. The product was developed in Switzerland but manufactured in the Russian Federation, so its pricing is based on the average consumer's budget. Thiovit Jet is available in granules, hermetically sealed in a thick shell. If you are offered powder or tablets, it is definitely counterfeit.

The product contains high-quality sulfur, which is the main active ingredient. It reacts with bacteria, inhibiting their growth and destroying cells, preserving the plant's microflora. Sulfur granules dissolve easily in water. After combining the components, a homogeneous liquid mass is formed.

Due to the density of the substance, it makes excellent contact with any surface and does not run off like water. A fungicide is not an organic compound. It is a medicine containing active ingredients. Therefore, it is effective against diseases such as:

oidium;
acaricides;
mushrooms.

Powdery mildew isn't just powdery mildew, it's a true colony of bacteria. They promote the growth of powdery mildew fungi, which cause ash. Grapevines are particularly vulnerable to this microorganism. Despite its composition, Thiovit Jet is non-toxic to other crops. Using it in gardening ensures that the produce grown remains environmentally friendly.

The product has not only a therapeutic but also a preventative effect, providing reliable long-term protection. The number of treatments required depends on the severity of the plant's damage. Weather also plays a significant role. During rainy periods, the product's effectiveness decreases. It can be stored for three years from the date of production.

Instructions for use

To protect your garden from diseases, annual preventative treatment is essential. The Thiovit Jet package contains instructions for using the fungicide on various plants, including grapes. Before use, dissolve the capsules in a small amount of water. Then, gradually stirring, add liquid to the desired volume and mix again. It takes 5-7 minutes to reach the desired consistency. Afterward, begin treatment immediately, as the prepared solution cannot be stored. To protect grapes from spider mites, prepare a solution consisting of 40 grams of powder and 10 liters of water. Apply the solution once per season.

Powdery mildew prevention involves applying 50 grams per 10 liters of solution. The frequency of treatment is five times per season, depending on weather conditions and the severity of the disease. Grapes should be sprayed well before and after flowering. On average, three liters of emulsion are used per standard-sized bush. It is best to apply the solution in the morning or evening, when there are no strong gusts of wind. Spread the solution evenly over all sides of the plant. It is not recommended to apply it after rain. This product helps stop the infection in soil in areas of high humidity, especially in greenhouses or hotbeds.

Precautionary measures

Overall, Thiovit Jet is considered non-toxic. However, precautions are still necessary. It should not be mixed with other chemicals, as this will cause various reactions. The product is classified as a Class 3 hazard, meaning it has moderate effects on the body. Life can be tricky, so it's best to protect your loved ones and spray the grapes when no one else is around. This is especially true for children, who are always curious about what adults are doing.

It is also better to remove animals from the area where the procedure is being performed.

Among the standard precautions that are mandatory are:

protective clothing;
mask;
prohibition of consumption of food and water during spraying.

Ignoring these precautions puts you at risk. Avoid contact with exposed skin, hair, and mucous membranes. Care is key to good health. Side effects are not serious, but unpleasant. Redness and irritation may occur on the skin. Simply wash the affected area thoroughly with soap. If the fungicide accidentally gets into your eyes, rinse immediately with clean water.

There are cases where someone accidentally drinks the emulsion, mistaking it for water, juice, or compote. In this case, prompt action is crucial. The faster you flush the stomach, the greater the chance of reducing the negative impact of the chemical. When transporting the product, take precautions and observe hygiene rules for transporting pesticides and agrochemicals. It's important to keep your surroundings clean.

Do not pour the remaining solution into a pond or body of water; keep animals away from the area where the procedure is being performed.

Pros and cons

One of the main advantages of this product is its short-lasting effect after treatment. The waiting period is only one day, after which the berries are ready to eat. The working solution is quick and easy to prepare. It is suitable for many garden produce.

The fungicide has no detrimental effect on crop growth and is spray-free. It is not classified as a flammable or combustible chemical. It is safe for bees, but it is still best to spray grapes before flowering. A drawback of Thiovit Jet is that it is easily washed away by rain and has a strong sulfur smell, which can irritate the respiratory tract.
