GENERAL INFORMATION

PATEL 300 EC is an emulsifiable concentrate formulation containing 300 g/L prothioconazole. It is a triazolinthione fungicide for the control of stem-base, foliar and ear disease in winter and spring wheat, durum wheat, winter and spring rye, winter and spring barley, winter and spring triticale and for disease control in winter and spring oilseed rape.

Septoria Leaf Blotch (Mycosphaerella graminicola) and Glume Blotch (Stagonospora nodorum) Apply before disease is established in the crop. To protect the upper leaves and ear apply PATEL 300 EC from BBCH 25 (5 tillers detectable) up to beginning of flowering (BBCH 61). Where disease pressure remains high application may be repeated.

Yellow rust (Puccinia striiformis)
Apply PATEL 300 EC at the latest at the first signs of disease (BBCH 25-61). 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 recondita) and Dwarf leaf rust (Puccinia hordei)
Apply PATEL 300 EC at the latest at the first signs of disease (BBCH 25-61). 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.

Tan spot (Pyrenophora tritici-repentis), Powdery mildew (Blumeria graminis)
Apply PATEL 300 EC at the latest at the first signs of disease in spring/early summer (BBCH 25-61).
Where disease pressure remains high application may be repeated.

Fusarium sp.
Apply PATEL 300 EC soon after ear emergence until the end of flowering (BBCH61-69) for moderate control of Fusarium sp. without exceeding the maximum total dose per crop. Control of ear diseases can result in cleaner, brighter ears. Through the reduction of ear blight, PATEL 300 EC effectively reduces the level of the Fusarium mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON) in wheat grain. However, where
Fusarium levels are high, the reduction achieved may not always be sufficient to ensure that DON levels fall below the statutory limit.

Net Blotch (Pyrenophora teres)
Apply PATEL 300 EC at the latest at the first signs of disease in spring/early summer (BBCH 25-61).
For severe infections, a second application 2-3 weeks later will give most effective control when conditions remain favourable for disease development.
Leaf Blotch (Rhynchosporium secalis)
Apply PATEL 300 EC in spring at the latest at the first signs of disease (BBCH 25-61). For severe infections a second application may be necessary 2-3 weeks later.

CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION

PATEL 300 EC may be used on all commercial varieties of winter and spring wheat, durum wheat, winter and spring rye, winter and spring barley, winter and spring triticale and for disease control in winter and spring oilseed rape.

Cereals
Method of application: Tractor mounted/trailed sprayer.
Apply PATEL 300 EC at 0.65 L product/ha in 200-400 L water/ha. Maximum total dose per crop is 1.3 L/ha.
A minimum interval of 14 days must be observed between applications.
Apply as a MEDIUM spray quality.

Oilseed rape (Winter and Spring):
Method of application: Tractor mounted/trailed sprayer.
Apply PATEL 300 EC at 0.6 L product/ha in 200-400 L water/ha. Maximum total dose per crop is 1.2 L/ha.
A minimum interval of 21 days must be observed between applications.
The minimum interval between one autumn and one spring application is 86 days.
Apply as a MEDIUM spray quality.
The higher spray volumes are recommended where the crop is dense or disease pressure / risk is high to ensure good penetration to the lower leaves and stem bases. Disease control may be compromised by reducing water volumes, where good spray coverage is difficult to achieve.

RESISTANCE

Repeated application of PATEL 300 EC alone should not be used on the same crop against a high risk pathogen. Tank-mixtures or alternation with fungicides having a different mode of action (e.g. morpholines) have been shown to protect against the development of resistant forms of disease. The possible development of disease strains resistant to PATEL 300 EC cannot be excluded or predicted. Where such resistant strains occur, PATEL 300 EC is unlikely to give satisfactory control. To avoid development of resistance apply product protectively in response to disease forecasts.
