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.
AFFIX contains azoxystrobin, a broad-spectrum fungicide from the strobilurin group. It has systemic, translaminar and protectant properties. Azoxystrobin inhibits fungal respiration. To reduce the risk of the development of resistance AFFIX should always be used in tank mixture or as part of a programme with other fungicides which have a different mode of action. AFFIX shows good crop safety, disease control and maintenance of green leaf area which result in significant yield benefits.
Apply as a preventative treatment when predictive tools indicate the likelihood of disease development or at the first sign of disease in the crop.
AFFIX is best used as a protective treatment or during early stages of disease establishment.
In cereals, the length of disease control is generally about four to six weeks during the period of active stem elongation, but can be more when applied at flag leaf/ ear emergence.

CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION
WINTER & SPRING WHEAT, WINTER & SPRING
BARLEY
AFFIX can be used for control of the following diseases in wheat and barley crops:

Wheat
• Glume Blotch (Leptosphaeria (syn. Septoria nodorum)
• Yellow Rust (Puccinia striiformis)
• Brown Rust (Puccinia recondita)
• Ear Diseases (Cladosporium, Alternaria)
• Can reduce the severity of Take-all (Gaeumannomyces graminis var. Tritici)

Barley
• Net Blotch (Pyrenophora teres)
• Brown Rust (Puccinia hordei)
• Leaf Blotch (Rhynchosporium secalis) – reduction
• Can reduce the severity of Take-all (Gaeumannomyces graminis var. Tritici)

Timing
Always inspect crops to assess disease development immediately before spraying. Best results will be achieved from applications made in the earliest stages of disease development or as a protectant treatment following a disease risk assessment or the use of appropriate decision support systems.
For protection against ear disease (Cladosporium and Alternaria) apply AFFIX at ear emergence.
When used to control the listed foliar diseases, AFFIX applied at the first or second node stage of the crop can reduce the severity of Take-all infection.
Application to wheat should be between BBCH 30-69 and application to barley should be between BBCH 30-59.

Rate of Use
1.0 litre per hectare.
