1. Restrictions/Warnings
This product may cause damage to broad-leaved plant species. Avoid spray drift onto neighbouring crops. Wash equipment thoroughly after use.

2. Disease Control
VENTURE JEWEL is a broad spectrum fungicide for the control of a range of diseases in winter and spring wheat, winter and spring barley, rye and triticale.

2.2 Resistance management
Strains of certain diseases with decreased sensitivity to triazole fungicides are known to exist. Where these occur or develop, VENTURE JEWEL may not give satisfactory control. VENTURE JEWEL contains the DMI fungicides epoxiconazole and metconazole. Resistance to some DMI fungicides has been identified in Septoria leaf blotch (Mycosphaerella graminicola) which may seriously affect the performance of some products. For further advice on resistance management with DMIs contact your agronomist or specialist advisor, and visit the FRAG-UK website. Use VENTURE JEWEL 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. A strategy for managing resistance should be adopted. Guidelines have been produced by the Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC) and copies are available from your distributor, crop adviser or product manufacturer.

Apply VENTURE JEWEL at the start of disease attack. Applications can be made up to the end of flowering (GS 69) in wheat, rye and triticale and up to and including emergence of ear just complete (GS 59) in barley. For optimum effect against eyespot with VENTURE JEWEL apply between the leaf sheaths erect and second node detectable stages of the crop.
