For the control of a range of foliar and head diseases in wheat and barley, plus the suppression of take-all and septoria tritici blotch in wheat and blackleg in canola.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Maxiflo is a novel quinazoline-based triazole fungicide for the protection of wheat against the root disease, take-all and protection of canola against blackleg.
When Maxiflo is applied as a seed treatment to wheat, the development of take-all is suppressed. Suppression of take-all with Maxiflo is characterised by reduced root lesions and a reduced number of whiteheads.
Maxiflo also provides season long control of common bunt, seed- and soil-borne flag smut and loose smut in wheat. In addition Maxiflo provides early season control of leaf rust, stripe rust and suppression of Septoria tritici blotch in wheat. Suppression of Septoria tritici blotch with Maxiflo results in a reduction in the visible symptoms of this disease.
When applied to barley Maxiflo provides early season control of powdery mildew and scald, with good suppression of both diseases for an extended period. In order to provide adequate control of loose smut and covered smut in barley, Maxiflo must be applied in tank mixture with a full label rate of Proguard T Seed Treatment as indicated in the ‘Application Rate’ section of the Directions for Use Table.
When Maxiflo is applied as a seed treatment to canola, the development of blackleg disease is suppressed. Suppression of blackleg with Maxiflo is characterised by reduced leaf infection, reduced plant lodging and increased plant survival.
Maxiflo is applied to wheat and canola seed prior to sowing. The Iow water solubility of the active ingredient, fluquinconazole, allows extended uptake for long lasting protection of the plant, thus reducing the yield decline commonly associated with the above-mentioned root, grain and foliar diseases.
Maxiflo contains a red pigment so that treated grain can be easily identified.

APPLICATION
Maxiflo is applied to seed prior to sowing. It may be applied alone or in mixture with certain other seed treatment products, depending on the crop being treated and the target diseases (see below). For treatment of wheat and barley seed, Maxiflo may also be diluted with water prior to application. Application must be conducted with a seed treatment machine suitable for flowable seed dressings, with an adjustable output. The equipment must be calibrated for the flow rate of the seed, to ensure even coverage and correct application rates. For best results, Maxiflo should be used to treat only undamaged, cleaned seeds of high viability.

Wheat
Maxiflo is a water based flowable product that can be applied neat or diluted with water. When applying the diluted product, prepare sufficient solution for the quantity of grain to be treated. Do not store diluted product. Do not dilute Maxiflo with water such that greater than 6L dilute product per tonne of seed is applied.

Barley
Maxiflo must be mixed with Proguard prior to application. This mixture may be applied neat or diluted with water. Do not dilute the mixture of Maxiflo and Proguard with more than 2.0 litres of water for each tonne of barley seed to be treated. Prepare sufficient solution only for the quantity of grain to be treated. Do not store diluted product.

Canola
Apply Maxiflo neat to canola seed. Do not add water
