DIRECTIONS FOR USE
IMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the product label. All instructions within this section must be read carefully in order to obtain safe and successful use of this product.

GENERAL INFORMATION
FARMCO AZOXY SC contains azoxystrobin, a broad-spectrum fungicide from the strobilurin group. It has systemic, translaminar and protectant properties. Azoxystrobin inhibits fungal respiration. Its mode of action is different from the action of other fungicidal groups. It should always be used in mixture with fungicides with other modes of action.
FARMCO AZOXY SC shows good crop safety, disease control and maintenance of green leaf area that result in significant yield benefi ts.
FARMCO AZOXY SC is best used as a protective treatment or during early stages of disease establishment.
In cereals, the length of disease control is generally about four to six weeks during the period of active stem elongation, but can be more when applied at flag leaf/ear emergence.
FARMCO AZOXY SC is approved for application to wheat, barley, oats, rye and triticale before the early milk stage (GS 73). It is also approved for application to peas, leeks, bulb onions and carrots.
After spraying, wash out sprayer thoroughly and dispose of washings according to local regulations.

RESTRICTIONS
Certain apple varieties are highly sensitive to FARMCO AZOXY SC. As a precaution FARMCO AZOXY SC should not be applied when there is a risk of spray drift onto neighbouring apple crops. Spray equipment used to apply FARMCO AZOXY SC to other crops should not be used to treat apples.
Apply FARMCO AZOXY SC under good growing conditions with adequate soil moisture. Avoid poor growing conditions, which may give less reliable results.

PEAS
FARMCO AZOXY SC gives a moderate control (MC) of Leaf and Pod Spot (Ascochyta pisi).

CARROTS
FARMCO AZOXY SC controls (C) Alternaria leaf blight (Alternaria dauci) and Powdery mildew (Erysiphe polygoni) (C).

LEEKS
FARMCO AZOXY SC controls (C) Leaf rust (Puccinia pori) and gives a moderate control (MC) of purple blotch (Alternaria porri) (MC).

BULB ONIONS
FARMCO AZOXY SC controls (C) Downy mildew (Peronospora destructor).

CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION
WINTER & SPRING WHEAT, WINTER & SPRING BARLEY, RYE, OATS & TRITICALE
Always inspect crops to assess disease development immediately before spraying. Best results will be achieved from applications made in the earliest stage of disease development or as a protectant treatment following a disease risk assessment or the use of appropriate decision support systems.
Rate of use
1.0 litre per hectare.
The maximum number of applications to any cereal crop is two per crop.

Water volume
Apply in at least 200 litres of water per hectare. In dense crops, increase the water volume to 250–300 litres per hectare to improve coverage. FARMCO AZOXY SC must always be used in mixture with another product, recommended for control of the same target disease that contains a fungicide from a different cross resistance group and is applied at a dose that will give robust control.

PEAS (COMBINING AND VINING)
FARMCO AZOXY SC should always be used at the fi rst sign of disease infection or when a predictive assessment shows conditions favourable for disease development. Always inspect crops to assess disease development immediately before spraying. For optimum disease control apply FARMCO AZOXY SC before infection or as soon as disease is fi rst seen in the crop.
Rate of use
1.0 litre per hectare. A second treatment may be required if disease pressure remains high – especially in combining peas. To avoid the likelihood of resistance developing, application of FARMCO AZOXY SC should be made with due regard to current FRAC guidelines for Qol compounds. Do not make more than two applications of FARMCO AZOXY SC to crops of combining and vining peas.

BULB ONIONS, LEEKS AND CARROTS
For optimum disease control FARMCO AZOXY SC should be used at the fi rst sign of disease infection or preferably preventatively when a predictive assessment shows conditions favourable for disease development. Always inspect crops to assess disease development immediately before spraying. For optimum downy mildew control in bulb onions, a 7 to 10 days spray interval should be maintained (applications to established downy mildew in fection are unlikely to give reliable control).
Rate of use
1.0 litre per hectare.
FARMCO AZOXY SC should be used as part of an overall spray programme with due regard to current FRAC guidelines. Use FARMCO AZOXY SC 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.

MIXING AND SPRAYING
Apply through conventional crop spraying equipment using a medium quality spray (BCPC) at a pressure of at least 2 bar. Apply in at least 200 litres of water per hectare. In dense crops, increase the water volume to 250-300 litres per hectare to improve coverage.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
FARMCO AZOXY SC contains azoxystrobin a member of the Qol cross-resist ance group. FARMCO AZOXY SC should be used preventatively and should not be relied on for its curative potential. Disease control may be reduced if strains of pathogens less sensitive to azoxystrobin develop. Use FARMCO AZOXY SC 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. You must not apply more than two foliar applications of Qol-containing products to any cereal crop. Failure to follow resistance management action may result in reduced levels of disease control. Disease control may be reduced if strains of other pathogens less sensitive to azoxystrobin develop.
