7. RELATED PESTICIDES:
Azoxystrobin 200g/L + cyproconazole 80g/L
8. GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
A systemic fungicide for control of a range of fungal leaf diseases in cereals. It has preventative, antisporulant and early curative action with leaf disease control for up to 6 weeks.
9. APPLICATION METHODS AND TIPS:
Best results when applied to actively growing crops in fine weather at least 2 hours before rain.
Ensure thorough coverage of leaves and stems. Apply at first sign of disease or as a protectant when disease risk is high.
Use mixed spray within 24 hours.
Application to stressed crops may give unreliable results.
10. ADJUVANTS, WETTERS, OILS:
None required.
11. EQUIPMENT:
Boom spray with flat fan nozzles at 100-400 kpa producing a fine to medium droplet.
12. SPRAYER WASH OUT AND DECONTAMINATION:
Thorough decontamination is required before using equipment on Apples as trace quantities may cause phytotxicity.
13. WATER OR CARRIER DATA:
50-100 L/ha water recommended.
14. WEATHER:
Apply in fine weather at least 2 hours before rain. Frosts before or after spraying may reduce disease control.
15. RAINFASTNESS:
2 hours
16. SOIL:
No specific effect of soil type but if plant growth is reducded by waterlogging or dry soils conditions then results may be unreliable. reducing
17. PLANT HEALTH and OTHER EFFECTS:
Good crop safety on cereals.
Some Apple varieties are very sensitive to azoxystrobin. Avoid drift onto Apples. Thoroughly decontaminate equipment before using on Apples. Treace amounts may cause significant phytotoxicity
