Provides control of Septoria Leaf Blotch (Zymoseptoria tritici), Brown rust, Yellow rust and Glume blotch (Septoria nodorum) in winter and spring wheat; moderate control of Net blotch and Ramularia collo-cygni, the control of Brown rust and reduction of Leaf Blotch (Rhynchosporium secalis) on winter and spring barley; control of Septoria Leaf Blotch (Zymoseptoria tritici), Brown rust, Yellow rust and Glume blotch (Septoria nodorum) and reduction of Rhynchosporium secalis on triticale; control of Brown rust and reduction of Rhynchosporium secalis on rye and the moderate control of Crown rust on oats.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Benzovindiflupyr is an orthosubstituted pyrazole carboxamide fungicide belonging to the sub-class of the benzonorbornenes.
Benzovindiflupyr is an SDH inhibitor (FRAC group #7 carboxamides). Benzovindiflupyr is predominantly a protectant substance.
KAVATUR Plus is best used as a protectant treatment or in the earliest stages of disease development.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT

KAVATUR PLUS must always be tank mixed with another fungicide(s) from different cross resistance group(s)/different mode(s) of action which when used alone, gives effective control of the same target disease(s). Products should be applied at robust rates. In any tank mix the SDHI should be applied in a balanced mixture.
KAVATUR PLUS should be used in accordance with the instructions for use for the target diseases at the specified growth stages indicated. Use KAVATUR PLUS 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. For further advice on resistance management contact your agronomist or specialist advisor.
You must not apply more than two foliar applications of products containing SDH inhibitors to any cereal crop. Reduced application rates and split applications of SDHI products must not be used. Mixtures of two or more SDHI fungicides do not provide an anti-resistance strategy. Each application of such a mixture counts as one SDHI application. Users should refer to current FRAC guidelines for SDHI compounds.
Isolates of Septoria leaf blotch with reduced sensitivity to SDHI fungicides have been detected.
Disease control may be reduced if strains of pathogens less sensitive to KAVATUR PLUS develop.

CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION

Crops and growing conditions
KAVATUR Plus can be used on all varieties of winter and spring wheat, winter and spring barley, rye, triticale and oats. Apply KAVATUR Plus under good growing conditions with adequate soil moisture.
Avoid poor growing conditions which may give less reliable results.

Timing
Always inspect crops to assess disease development immediately before spraying. Best results will be achieved from applications made as a protectant treatment or in the earliest stages of disease development following a disease risk assessment or the use of appropriate decision support systems.

Rates of use
Apply KAVATUR Plus at 0.75 litres per hectare.
