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.
Phyton is a fungicide recommended for the protection of winter and spring wheat and winter and spring barley against a range of diseases in accordance with the statutory conditions. For the best results, Phyton must be applied in advance of the disease according to a planned programme of disease control. Established infections are not controlled. Phyton should be used as part of an integrated fungicide management programme with alternative fungicides to give comprehensive disease control.

Crop Winter wheat, spring wheat, durum wheat, rye & triticale
Disease
Septoria Leaf Blotch (Mycosphaerella graminicola) 
Rate of use 1-2 l/ha in 200 l/ha water 
Method and timing In the period 1st -2nd node GS30-32, apply immediately disease appears. 
Disease Glume blotch (Phaeosphaeria nodorum), Septoria Leaf Blotch (Mycosphaerella graminicola) 
Method and timing Normally apply from third node detectable to mid flowering stage (GS33-65). However if disease is present at GS33, it is essential to spray early. Apply within the period GS33-39 for best results. Otherwise apply as soon as disease is anticipated or shows signs of spreading. Late application has a reduced effect. Powdery mildew, if present or likely to occur, should be controlled with a specific mildewicide in a tank-mixture otherwise control of Septoria spp. is likely to be reduced.
Rate of use Early (from GS33) disease from 1 l/ha High risk situations 2 l/ha in 200 l/ha water 

Crop Winter and spring barley
Disease Leaf scald Rhychosporium secalis – moderate controlMethod and timing
Method and timing For best results apply as soon as disease is seen. Repeat once before the beginning of heading (GS59) if there is severe disease pressure or if there is a risk of leaf spotting.
Rate of use 2 l/ha in minimum 200 l/ha water per application
