A suspension concentrate containing 160 g/L penthiopyrad and 80 g/L picoxystrobin for disease control in wheat, barley, oats, rye and triticale and oilseed rape.

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
Avoid application 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.

Disease Control
FRELIZON contains penthiopyrad (a succinate dehydrogenease inhibitor (SDHI)) and picoxystrobin (a QoI fungicide) and controls a range of cereal and oilseed rape diseases
Disease control is generally more effective if FRELIZON is applied as a protectant treatment or during the earliest stages of disease development.

Dose
Wheat,Barley, Oats, Rye and Triticale: 1.25l/ha
Oilseed rape: 1.0l/ha

Crops
FRELIZON can be used on all winter and spring crops of wheat, barley, oats, rye, triticale and oilseed rape. It may also be applied to barley undersown with grass/clover. Apply FRELIZON under good growing conditions with adequate soil moisture. Avoid poor growing conditions which may give less reliable results.

Timing
FRELIZON can be applied from the beginning of stem elongation (GS 30) on cereals and from the 2-leaf stage (GS12) on oilseed rape. FRELIZON controls diseases most effectively when diseases are at low levels and before they spread to new growth. On cereals, a second application can be repeated after 3-4 weeks if necessary

Resistance
FRELIZON contains penthiopyrad, an SDHI fungicide and picoxystrobin, a QoI fungicide.
Use FRELIZON 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. Disease control may be reduced if strains of pathogens less sensitive to penthiopyrad develop.
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 the recommended dose and timing, under normal weather conditions. Development of resistance within a pathogen can be avoided or delayed by alternating or mixing products having a different mode of action. The Fungicide Resistance Action Group has produced guidelines on the management and avoidance of fungicide resistance. Details of these can be obtained from your supplier or DuPont.
Resistance to QoI 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, contact your agronomist or specialist advisor and visit The Fungicide Action Committee (FRAC). You must not apply more than two foliar applications of Qol containing products to any cereal crop.
For control of Septoria leaf blotch, FRELIZON must always be used in mixture with another product recommended for its control, and that contains a fungicide from a different cross resistance group to SDHIs and QoIs and is applied at a dose that will give robust control.
Do not apply more than two foliar applications of either SDHI or QoI containing products to any cereal crop. Users should refer to current FRAC guidelines for SDHI and QoI compounds

Volume and Application
Apply in 200 litres/ha of water using spraying equipment to give good even coverage of the crop. 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 FRELIZON 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).

Compatibility
Products should only be tank-mixed if each product can be applied within the label recommendations for its use. For further information contact your DuPont distributor.

Sprayer cleaning
Thoroughly wash out sprayer according to manufacturer’s guidelines and dispose of washings and clean containers according to the Good practice guide for empty pesticide containers and local water authority guidelines.
