GENERAL INFORMATION
GLOBAZTAR 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. GLOBAZTAR SC shows good crop safety, disease control and maintenance of green leaf area which result in signifi cant yield benefi ts. GLOBAZTAR 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 fl ag leaf/ear emergence. GLOBAZTAR 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 GLOBAZTAR SC. As a precaution GLOBAZTAR SC should not be applied when there is a risk of spray drift onto neighbouring apple crops. Spray equipment used to apply GLOBAZTAR SC to other crops should not be used to treat apples. Apply GLOBAZTAR SC under good growing conditions with adequate soil moisture. Avoid poor growing conditions which may give less reliable results.

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. GLOBAZTAR 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)
GLOBAZTAR 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 GLOBAZTAR 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 GLOBAZTAR SC should be made with due regard to current FRAC guidelines for Qol compounds. Do not make more than two applications of GLOBAZTAR SC to crops of combining and vining peas.

BULB ONIONS, LEEKS AND CARROTS
For optimum disease control GLOBAZTAR 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 day spray interval should be maintained (applications to established downy mildew infection are unlikely to give reliable control). Rate of use 1.0 litre per hectare. GLOBAZTAR SC should be used as part of an overall spray programme with due regard to current FRAC guidelines. Use GLOBAZTAR 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
GLOBAZTAR SC contains azoxystrobin a member of the Qol cross resistance group. GLOBAZTAR 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 GLOBAZTAR 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.
