CERATAVO PLUS contains benzovindiflupyr for the control of a range of fungal diseases in winter and spring wheat, winter and spring barley, rye,triticale and oats.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Benzovindiflupyr is an orthosubstituted pyrazole carboxamide fungicide belonging to the sub-class of the benzonorbornenes.
Benzovindiflupyr is an SDH inhibitor (FRAC group #7 carboxamides). Benzovindiflupyr is predominantly protectant substance.
CERATAVO PLUS should be used as a protectant treatment or in the earliest stages of disease development.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT

CERATAVO PLUS must always be tank mixed with another fungicide(s) from different cross resistance group(s) /different mode(s) of action which when used alone, gives effective control of the same target disease(s). Products should be applied at robust rates. In any tank mix the SDHI should be applied in a balanced mixture.
CERATAVO PLUS should be used in accordance with the instructions for use for the target diseases at the specified growth stages indicated. Use CERATAVO PLUS as part of an Integrated Crop Management (ICM) strategy incorporating other methods of control, including where appropriate other fungicides with a different mode of action. For further advice on resistance management contact your agronomist or specialist advisor, and visit the FRAG-UK website.
You must not apply more than two foliar applications of products containing SDH inhibitors to any cereal crop. Reduced application rates and split applications of SDHI products must not be used. Mixtures of two or more SDHI fungicides do not provide an anti-resistance strategy. Each application of such a mixture counts as one SDHI application. Users should refer to current FRAC guidelines for SDHI compounds.
Isolates of Septoria leaf blotch with reduced sensitivity to SDHI fungicides have been detected.
Disease control may be reduced if strains of pathogens less sensitive to CERATAVO PLUS develop.

CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION

Crops and growing conditions
CERATAVO PLUS can be used on all varieties of winter and spring wheat, winter and spring barley and triticale. Apply
CERATAVO PLUS under good growing conditions with adequate soil moisture. Avoid poor growing conditions which may give less reliable results. Effectiveness using three star drift reduction technology may be reduced.

Timing
Always inspect crops to assess disease development immediately before spraying. Best results will be achieved from applications made as a protectant treatment or in the earliest stages of disease development following a disease risk assessment or the use of appropriate decision support systems. CERATAVO PLUS is accepted by BBPA (British Beer and
Pubs Association) for use on malting barley provided application is made before the beginning of flowering (GS 61). Latest timing in malting barley is therefore up to and including complete ear emergence (GS 59).

Rates of use
Apply CERATAVO PLUS at 0.75 litres per hectare.
