DIRECTIONS FOR USE

IMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the Product Label. All instructions within this section must be carefully read in order to obtain safe and successful use of this product.

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 protectant substance.
Prothioconazole is a triazole (DMI) fungicide. Prothioconazole is a systemic fungicide with protectant and curative properties.
TACANZA Era should be used as a protectant treatment or in the earliest stages of disease development.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT

TACANZA ERA should be used in accordance with the instructions for use for the target diseases at the specified growth stages indicated. Use TACANZA ERA 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, and visit the FRAG-UK website.
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.
TACANZA ERA contains a DMI fungicide. Isolates of certain cereal diseases with decreased sensitivity to DMI fungicides are known to exist. Where these occur or develop TACANZA ERA may not give satisfactory control. Resistance to some DMI fungicides has been identified in Septoria leaf blotch (Zymoseptoria tritici) which may seriously affect the performance of some products.
Disease control may be reduced if strains of pathogens less sensitive to TACANZA ERA develop.

CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION

Crops and growing conditions
TACANZA ERA can be used on all varieties of winter and spring wheat, winter and spring barley, rye, triticale, oats, combining peas, field beans and linseed/flax. Apply TACANZA ERA under good growing conditions with adequate soil moisture. Avoid poor growing conditions which may give less reliable results. Effectiveness using three star drift reduction technology may be reduced.

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.
TACANZA ERA is accepted by BBPA (British Beer and Pubs Association) for use on malting barley provided application is made before the beginning of flowering (GS 61). Latest timing in malting barley is therefore up to and including complete ear emergence (GS 59).

Rates of use
Apply TACANZA ERA at 1.0 litres per hectare on cereals.
Apply TACANZA ERA at 0.66 litres per hectare on combining peas, field beans and linseed/flax.
