- Powdery mildew
- Fusarium head blight
- Alternaria spp.
- Cercospora leaf spot
- Leaf blotch
- Sclerotinia stem rot
Recommended Application Guidance
| Crop | Target Disease | Application Guidance |
|---|---|---|
| Wheat | Rusts, Fusarium head blight | Anthesis is the key window for Fusarium don’t miss that narrow stage. |
| Oilseed rape | Sclerotinia stem rot | Match spray timing to bloom, adjusting for wet-weather forecasts. |
| Soybean | Cercospora leaf spot | Make sure spray reaches deep into a closed canopy, not just the top layer. |
For specific ml/ha dosage rates and local dilution guidelines across registered crops, please refer to the registered product label or consult local agronomic specialists.
Application Instructions
1. Critical Timing for Anthesis & Bloom
In wheat, apply precisely during the anthesis (flowering) window to manage Fusarium head blight. For oilseed rape, time applications around the bloom stage, taking wet weather forecasts into account.
2. Canopy Penetration & Coverage
In dense or closed-canopy crops like soybeans, ensure equipment setup drives spray droplets deep into the lower leaf layers to protect against Cercospora leaf spot.
Safety & Environmental Care
Always wear proper personal protective equipment (gloves, goggles, mask, protective suit) during handling, mixing, and application. Toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects; prevent chemical drift or runoff into streams, ponds, and drainage ditches. Store in original sealed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from foodstuffs and animal feed.
