Rate: 1L/ha

WINTER OATS, SPRING OATS
Diseases: Eyespot, Powdery mildew, Crown rust.
Rate: 1L/ha

Critical comments: Maximum number of applications 2per crop. Latest time of application: up to beginning of flowering, (GS 61). 

Method of application: Tractor mounted sprayer.
A spray pressure of 2-3 bar is recommended.
Apply Mandarin Xpro in 100-300 litres per hectare water.
Apply as a medium spray quality.

CROPS
Mandarin Xpro may be used on all commercial varieties of winter and spring barley and oats.

APPLICATION TIMING
CEREALS
Eyespot (Oculimacula spp.)
Spray in the spring at the first sign of disease, from when the leaf sheaths begin to become erect until the 2nd node is detectable (GS 30-32).
Powdery Mildew (Blumeria graminis)
Apply Mandarin Xpro at the first signs of disease. Where disease pressure remains high application may be repeated.
Yellow Rust (Puccinia striiformis)
Apply Mandarin Xpro at the first signs of disease. A second application may be made 2-3 weeks later if re-infection occurs. Applications made to established infections are likely to be less effective.
Brown Rust (Puccinia hordei)
Apply Mandarin Xpro at the first signs of disease.
A second application may be made 2-3 weeks later if re-infection occurs. Applications made to established infections are likely to be less effective.
Crown Rust (Puccinia coronata)
Apply Mandarin Xpro at the first signs of disease.
Mandarin Xpro controls crown rust in winter and spring oats. A second application may be made 2-3 weeks later if re-infection occurs. Applications made to established infections are likely to be less effective.
Ear Disease Complex
Apply Mandarin Xpro soon after ear emergence up to the beginning of flowering (GS 61) for moderate control of Fusarium ear blight and reduction of sooty moulds in barley. Control of ear diseases can result in cleaner, brighter ears.
Leaf Blotch (Rhynchosporium secalis)
Apply Mandarin Xpro in spring at the first signs of disease.
For severe infections a second application may be necessary 2-3 weeks later.
Net Blotch (Pyrenophora teres)
Apply Mandarin Xpro at the first signs of disease in spring/early summer. For severe infections, a second application 2-3 weeks later will give most effective control when conditions remain favourable for disease development.
Ramularia (Ramularia collo-cygni)
Apply Mandarin Xpro at the first signs of disease.
Applications made to established infections are likely to be less effective.

RESISTANCE STRATEGY
Tank-mixtures or alternation with fungicides having a different mode of action against the diseases present have been shown to protect against the development of resistant forms of disease.
No more than two applications of SDH inhibitors must be applied to the same cereal crop.
