For professional use only. For use by tractor mounted/trailed sprayers only. Avoid spray drift on to neighbouring crops. This product may cause damage to broad-leaved plant species. Effects on baking have not been fully tested. Consult the grain merchant or processor before use.

2. Disease Control
ESCAPADE is a broad spectrum fungicide for use in winter and spring wheat, winter and spring barley, oats, rye and triticale for disease control

2.1 Resistance Management
Use ESCAPADE 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.
ESCAPADE contains epoxiconazole, a DMI fungicide. Resistance to some DMI fungicides has been identified in Septoria leaf blotch (Mycosphaerella graminicola) which may seriously affect the performance of some products. For further advice on resistance management in DMIs contact your agronomist or specialist advisor, and visit the FRAG-UK website
ESCAPADE contains boscalid which belongs to the SDHI (carboxamide) group of fungicides. To minimise the risk of resistance occurring, apply a maximum of two SDHI fungicide sprays per cereal crop.

3. Crops
ESCAPADE is a fungicide for use in winter wheat, spring wheat, durum wheat, winter barley, spring barley, oats, rye and triticale

4. Mixing & Application
4.1 Time of Application
Apply ESCAPADE at the start of foliar or stem based disease attack

A maximum of two applications can be made up to and including flowering (anthesis) just complete (GS69) in winter wheat, spring wheat, durum wheat, rye & triticale, and up to and including emergence of ear just complete (GS59) in winter barley, spring barley and oats

4.2 Rate of Application
Apply 1.5 litres ESCAPADE per hectare

4.3 Mixing
Three quarters fill the tank with clean water and start the agitation. To ensure thorough mixing of the product,shake the container several times before opening. Add the required quantity of ESCAPADE to the spray tank while recirculating. Add the remainder of the water and continue agitation until spraying is complete.
On emptying the container, rinse thoroughly by using an integrated pressure rinsing device or by manually rinsing three times. Add washings to the spray tank at time of filling and dispose of container safely, according to local regulations

4.4 Application
Apply ESCAPADE in 200 l/ha water volume as a MEDIUM spray.
ESCAPADE may be applied at 1.5 litres per hectare in 100 litres of water per hectare although efficacy at this reduced volume has not been evaluated. Therefore application at 100 litres of water per hectare is at user’s risk with regard to biological efficacy. Reducing the water volume is not recommended where control of stem base diseases is required
To ensure optimum spray coverage and minimize spray drift, adjust the spray boom to the appropriate height above the crop, according to guidance provided by the sprayer and/or nozzle manufacture.

4.5 Sprayer cleaning
Wash sprayer thoroughly immediately after use, using clean water and following the sprayer cleaning guidance provided by the equipment manufacturer
