An oil-in-water emulsion containing 250 g/l (23.8% w/w) tebuconazole.
A broad-spectrum triazole fungicide for control of a range of diseases in numerous agricultural and horticultural crops.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
FUNGICIDE RESISTANCE
RIZA is a triazole fungicide. It is advisable to alternate the use of RIZA with a fungicide with a different mode of action (e.g. a piperazine or morpholine fungicide) to avoid the build-up of resistant strains of disease.
Disease control may be reduced if strains of a disease less sensitive to RIZA develop.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE IN CEREAL CROPS
As a general rule, disease control and yield benefit will be optimal when treatment is made at an early stage of development.
Rate of Application: 1.0 litre/ha
Volume of Water: Use at least 200 litres of water/ha. Increase the water volume to 300 litres/ha in very dense crops or susceptible varieties.
Crops: RIZA can be applied to all varieties of winter and spring barley, winter and spring wheat (except Durum wheat) and rye, but only on the following varieties of oats:

Winter oats:
Aintree, Chamois, Craig, Emperor, Gerald, Kynon, Mirabel, Pennal, Solva
Spring oats:
Aberglen, Cabana, Commander, Dula, Melys, Rhiannon, Ripon

Diseases Controlled and Application Timing
RIZA can be applied to cereal crops up to the ‘Grain Milky Ripe’ stage (ZGS 75). Do not apply more than 2.0 litres/ha of RIZA per crop.
1. Control of Powdery Mildew (wheat, barley, oats and rye) Apply RIZA at the first signs of disease. In wheat, barley and rye, when treating established infestations or varieties that are particularly susceptible, tank-mixing with a morpholine fungicide may improve control. Repeat if necessary if disease pressure remains high.
2. Control of Septoria Leafspot and Septoria Glume Blotch (wheat) To protect the flag leaf, apply RIZA from the ‘flag leaf emerged’ stage (ZGS37) up to the ‘ear fully emerged’ stage (ZGS 59). If there is a high risk of Septoria leaf spot, apply when the disease is active but before it appears on the upper leaves. Applications made when foliar symptoms are already present on the upper leaves will be less effective.
3. Control of Yellow Rust and Brown Rust (wheat, barley and rye). Apply as soon as the disease is seen. Applications made to established infestations will be less effective. Repeat after 2-3 weeks if re-infestation occurs.
4. Control of Fusarium Ear Blights, Sooty moulds (wheat) An application of RIZA shortly after ear emergence will give a good reduction of Fusarium ear blight and ‘Sooty moulds’ (Alternaria and Cladosporium).
5. Control of Rhynchosporium Leaf Blotch (barley and rye) Apply RIZA at the onset of disease. A second application may be necessary 2-3 weeks later.
6. Control of Net Blotch (barley) Apply at the first sign of disease in the spring or early summer. If conditions remain favourable for disease development, a second application should be made 2-3 weeks later. If the disease develops after flag leaf emergence, a single application should provide good protection.
7. Control of Crown Rust (oats) Apply RIZA on first appearance of the disease. Applications made to control mildew on oats will reduce Crown Rust infections occuring at the same time.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE IN OILSEED RAPE
As a general rule, disease control and yield benefit will be optimal when treatment is made at an early stage of development.
Rate of Application: 0.5 to 1.0 litre/ha (see below)
Volume of Water: Use at least 200 litres of water/ha. Increase the water volume to 400 litres/ha in very dense crops.
Crops: RIZA can be applied to all varieties of winter and spring oilseed rape.

Diseases Controlled and Application Timing
RIZA can be applied to oilseed rape at any time up to the ‘most seeds green’ stage.
Do not apply more than 2.5 litres/ha of RIZA per crop

1. Control of Light Leaf Spot Apply 0.5 litres/ha in the autumn to prevent early development of the disease. One or two follow-up sprays at 1.0 litre/ha may be needed in the following spring or summer depending on disease development. If an autumn/winter application has not been made and disease develops over winter, an application in the early spring may be made from the onset of stem extension, at 1.0 litre/ha. An application of 1.0 litre/ha either before or after flowering will control late development of disease on the leaves and pods. This treatment will also give some reduction of ringspot if present in the crop.
2. Control of Phoma Leaf Spot / Stem Canker Apply 0.5 litre/ha in late autumn/early winter when the disease is first seen, followed by a further application of 0.5-1.0 litre/ha in late winter/early spring. The treatment regime for Light leaf spot (1 above) will also give a useful reduction of leaf spot and stem canker.
3. Control of Dark Leaf Spot/ Pod Spot (Alternaria) Apply 1.0 litre/ha when the black pin-head spots first appear on the pods. Applications for control of light leaf spot after flowering may give useful control of Alternaria.
4. Sclerotinia Stem Rot (reduction) Apply 1.0 litre/ha at early to full flower. Do not mix RIZA with any other product when applying during the flowering period of oilseed rape.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE IN CABBAGES
Rate of Application: 1.0 litre/ha

1. Control of Powdery Mildew Apply 1.0 litre/ha at the first signs of disease. A second spray may be needed if the disease has developed very early and disease pressure continues

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE IN CARROTS AND PARSNIPS
Rate of Application: 1.0 litre/ha
Volume of Water: Use at least 200 litres of water/ha. Increase the water volume to 600 litres/ha in very dense crops. Good coverage of the foliage is extremely important

1. Control of Alternaria and Sclerotinia Apply in early to mid-August (or earlier if signs of Alternaria appear, but not before GS15). Up to 2 further applications may be made at 3- week intervals. This treatment regime will also give useful reduction of Sclerotinia infections.
2. Powdery Mildew Apply when the disease is first seen in the crop. Up to 2 follow-up applications can be made if necessary, at 14-21 day intervals.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE IN LEEKS

MIXING AND APPLICATION
Shake the container thoroughly before opening and use.
Half-fill the sprayer tank with clean water and begin agitation. Add the correct amount of RIZA using a filling device (e.g. an induction hopper) or by direct addition to the tank, followed by the rest of the water. Rinse the container clean, preferably with an integrated pressure rinsing device, otherwise manually 3 times. Add the washings to the spray tank at the time of filling. Apply without delay. Maintain agitation while travelling and throughout the spraying operation.
Apply as a ‘Medium’ spray at a pressure of 2-3 bar. Do not apply in frosty weather or within 3 hours of rainfall. Apply to dry foliage.
Thoroughly clean the sprayer after use

COMPATIBILITY
RIZA is physically compatible with a wide range of agricultural chemicals. Consult your distributor for the latest recommendations.
