Systemic cereal fungicide for the control of diseases in barley, wheat and ryegrass seed crops

GENERAL INFORMATION
Stellar Fungicide is a broad spectrum contact and systemic fungicide with protectant and eradicant activity. Stellar Fungicide is taken up via the stem and foliage and is translocated upwards and outwards to provide some protection to new growth. Thorough coverage of the crop is necessary for best results. Stellar Fungicide has curative activity against early stages of infection but optimum results are obtained from application prior to the onset of infection.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Rainfall: DO NOT apply if rainfall is likely within 2 hours of treatment.

BARLEY AND WHEAT
Disease: Eyespot 
Rate: 1.0 L/ha in a minimum of 150 litres of water/ha by ground or 60 litres/ha by air
Comments: Apply to at risk crops from mid-tillering through to flat leaf visible.

BARLEY
Disease: Powdery mildew Leaf rust Net blotch (spot & net forms) Scald
Rate: 1.0 L/ha in a minimum of 150 litres of water/ha by ground or 60 litres/ha by air
Comments: Apply as a preventative spray on susceptible cultivars and where conditions favour disease. Otherwise apply at the first appearance of disease. Continued disease pressure or reinfection may require a further treatment 3- 5 weeks later. Apply up to the end of flowering (Zadok GS 69).

WHEAT
Disease: Powdery mildew Leaf rust Stripe rust Speckled leaf blotch
Rate: 1.0 L/ha in a minimum of 150 litres of water/ha by ground or 60 litres/ha by air
Comments: Apply as a preventative spray on susceptible cultivars and where conditions favour disease. Otherwise apply at the first appearance of disease. Continued disease pressure or reinfection may require a further treatment 3- 5 weeks later. Apply up to the end of flowering (Zadok GS 69). Note: Application may be required early in the season at mid-tillering to control Speckled leaf blotch.

Disease: Glume blotch
Rate: 1.0 L/ha in a minimum of 150 litres of water/ha by ground or 60 litres/ha by air
Comments: Apply as a preventative spray around flat leaf emergence. For continued protection of the ear a further treatment may be applied up to the end of flowering (Zadok GS 69).

Disease: Ear disease complex
Rate: 1.0 L/ha in a minimum of 150 litres of water/ha by ground or 60 litres/ha by air
Comments: For protection of the ear, application should be made to fully emerged ears up to the end of flowering (Zadok GS 69).

RYEGRASS SEED CROPS INCLUDING TURF SPECIES
Disease: Crown Rust Stem rust
Rate: 1.0 L/ha in a minimum of 150 litres of water/ha by ground or 60 litres/ha by air
Comments: Apply as a preventative spray on susceptible cultivars and where conditions favour disease. Continued pressure or reinfection may require a further treatment 2- 4 weeks later.

WITHHOLDING PERIODS
Do not graze or feed treated wheat and barley grain crops within 42 days after application.
DO not harvest ryegrass seed crops for 21 days after the last application.
Do not graze or feed treated ryegrass seed crops for 35 days after the last application.

MIXING
Add the required amount directly into partly filled spray tank with agitation operating. Complete filling and maintain agitation until spraying is complete.

COMPATIBILITY
Stellar Fungicide is compatible, where appropriate, in two and three-way mixtures with Terpal† , Cycocel† , Perfekthion† S, Duplosan† KV, Duplosan Super, ADAMA Chlorsulfuron and Foliar Nitrophoska† Stellar Fungicide can also be used in wheat in three and four-way mixes with Cycocel, Puma† S and D-C-Trate† . Care must be taken to ensure recommendations for all products are followed. No phytotoxic effects have been observed on available cultivars of wheat and barley. It is recommended to limit use of mixtures to small experimental areas on new cultivars to test plant compatibility before extensive use. Mixtures should be applied immediately after preparation.
