A suspension concentrate containing 500 g/L chlorothalonil and 25 g/L proquinazid, for disease control in wheat and barley.

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.
Restrictions
- FIELDER SE should not be applied to any crop suffering from stress as a result of drought, waterlogging, low temperatures, nutrient or lime deficiency or other factors reducing crop growth.
- Avoid application in either frosty or hot, sunny weather conditions.
- Up to 2 treatments may be applied per crop, however FIELDER SE should be tank-mixed with an alternate mode of action fungicide when applied in the presence of heavy disease infestations or when applying a sequential application
- There is a possibility that some crops may suffer adverse effects from FIELDER SE, care should therefore be taken to avoid drift onto non-target crops.

Disease Control
FIELDER SE controls Powdery mildew in wheat and barley and gives suppression of Septoria in wheat and Rhynchosporium in barley. Applications after GS37 may result in reduction of control if severe disease pressure continues. Application should be made preventatively before disease has established in the crop. If disease has actively spread to new growth FIELDER SE should be tankmixed with a curative, alternate mode of action fungicide.

Resistance
FIELDER SE contains a quinazolinone group fungicide and must be considered to be in the same group for resistance management purposes as quinolines.
When fungicides with the same mode of action are used repeatedly over several years in the same field, naturally occurring less sensitive strains may survive, propagate and become dominant in that field. A pathogen is considered resistant to a fungicide if it survives a correctly applied treatment at a recommended dose and timing, under normal weather conditions. There is a significant risk of widespread disease resistance occurring in the UK and Ireland. Failure to follow resistance management action may result in reduced levels of disease control. Development of resistance can be avoided or delayed by alternating or mixing products having an alternate mode of action (see Timing). Use FIELDER SE as part of an Integrated Crop Management Strategy (ICM) incorporating other methods of control, including where appropriate other fungicides with a different mode of action.

Volume and Application
Apply in 200 - 300 litres/ha of water using spraying equipment to give good even coverage of the crop. The higher volumes are recommended when the crop is dense. A spray pressure of 2 – 3 Bar is recommended.

Mixing
Ensure that the sprayer is clean and correctly set to give an even application at the required volume. Half-fill the spray tank with clean water and start agitation. Shake the container and add the required amount of FIELDER SE to the sprayer using a filling device (e.g. induction bowl or closed transfer unit) or by direct addition to the sprayer tank. Wash out containers thoroughly, preferably using an integrated pressure rinsing device, or manually rinse three times. Add washings to the sprayer at the time of filling. Complete filling to the required volume and continue to agitate throughout the spraying operation. Do not leave the spray liquid in the sprayer for long periods (such as during meal breaks or overnight).

Crops
FIELDER SE can be used on all varieties of wheat and barley.

Dose
Apply FIELDER SE at 2 L/ha

Timing
FIELDER SE can be applied at any time before full flowering (GS 65) on winter wheat or before first awns visible (GS 49) on barley. Up to a maximum of 2 treatments may be made.
The first treatment should be applied preventatively at the onset of disease development before its spread to new growth. If a second treatment is required, this may be applied after 4 – 6 weeks and must be tankmixed with an alternate mode of action mildewicide.
