Disease Control in wheat, barley and triticale: For the reduction of leaf spot (Mycosphaerella graminicola) in winter and spring wheat and triticale and leaf blotch (Rhynchosporium secalis) in winter and spring barley and triticale.
FREEDOM may be applied in a programme of 2 suitably timed sprays.
Dose rate: 1.5 L/ha per application
Septoria leaf spot (Mycosphaerella graminicola) in winter and spring wheat and triticale
As FREEDOM is a protectant fungicide with contact activity, it is important to apply the first spray before the disease becomes established in the crop (normally GS 30-33). A second spray should be timed to protect new growth from disease and therefore needs to be applied prior to further infection. This is normally 3 weeks after the first application, but may be sooner under conditions of rapid growth and high disease pressure. Where disease infection or reinfection has occurred prior to application, FREEDOM should be mixed with alternative chemistry to provide curative activity (see Compatibility section).

Water volume: Apply FREEDOM in a water volume of 200-400 L/ha.
As FREEDOM has contact activity, it is important to achieve a good coverage of the crop when spraying.
