GENERAL INFORMATION

This package contains VELTYMA, a broad-spectrum fungicide. The active ingredients in VELTYMA belong to two classes of fungicides; mefentrifluconazole belongs to the triazole (DMI) group and pyraclostrobin belongs to the strobilurin (QoI) group of fungicides.
VELTYMA inhibits spore germination, mycelial growth and sporulation of the fungus on the leaf surface. VELTYMA can be applied in either pre- or post-infection situations. However, optimum disease control is achieved when VELTYMA is applied preventatively in a regularly scheduled spray program and is used in a rotation program with other fungicides.
