RESTRICTIONS PROTECT FROM FROST
Resistance Management
To avoid resistance do not apply repeated applications of AGATE alone on the same crop against the same disease. In such situations use an appropriate tank mix or alternate with another fungicide with a different mode of action. Where resistance occurs, AGATE may not give adequate disease control. Consult the latest advice from FRAG UK and FRAC regarding disease resistance strategies.
AGATE contains DMI fungicides. 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 in DMI’s contact your agronomist or specialist advisor, and visit the FRAG-UK website.
CEREALS
AGATE may be applied at any time up to before milky ripe stage and 6 weeks before harvest. AGATE controls or gives protection against the following diseases when applied as recommended.
Adequate protection of winter cereals throughout the season against all the diseases listed below will usually require a programme of at least two fungicide treatments.
Eyespot (Wheat, barley, rye)
Spray in the spring at the first sign of eyespot, from when the leaf sheaths begin to become erect until the 1st node is detectable. Any over-wintering eyespot and mildew (rye, wheat or barley) or Rhynchosporium (barley, rye) will be controlled by AGATE applied at this time and protection will be given against Septoria (wheat, rye) or net blotch (barley). If weather conditions continue to favour eyespot development after treatment, a second spray may be necessary 4 to 6 weeks later but before the third node detectable stage in wheat, barley or rye.
When AGATE is applied for eyespot control, protection will be given against new infections of mildew, brown rust and yellow rust, (wheat, barley, rye), Septoria (wheat, rye), Rhynchosporium (barley, rye) and net blotch (barley).
Septoria Leaf Spot and Glume Blotch (Spetoria tritici and S. nodorum)(Wheat)
To protect the flag leaf and ear from Septoria tritici and S. nodorum apply AGATE from flag leaf emergence (GS 37) until just before milky ripe stage (GS 75) and 6 weeks before harvest. Earlier application may be necessary where there is a high risk of S. tritici and AGATE should be applied when the disease is active, but before it is visible on the upper leaves. Applications made once foliar symptoms of S. tritici are already present on the upper leaves will be less effective since symptoms only develop several weeks after initial crop infection has taken place.
Yellow Rust and Brown Rust (Wheat, barley and rye)
Apply AGATE at the first signs of disease. Applications made to established infections are likely to be less effective. A second application may be made 2-3 weeks later if re-infection occurs.
Ear Disease Complex (Wheat)
AGATE applied soon after the ear emergence can give a good reduction of Fusarium ear blight and a reduction of sooty moulds (Alternaria and Cladosporium) and can result in cleaner, brighter ears.
Powdery Mildew (Wheat, barley and rye)
AGATE should be applied at first signs of disease.
Applications made to established infections or to particularly disease susceptible varieties are likely to be less effective.
When disease pressure remains high application may be repeated if necessary - see ‘Resistance Strategy’
Rhynchosporium (leaf blotch) (Barley and rye)
Apply AGATE at the onset of disease. For effective control of moderate to severe infections a second application may be necessary 2-3 weeks later.
Applications made to disease susceptible varieties in high risk situations are likely to be less effective.
Net Blotch (Barley)
Apply AGATE at the very first signs of disease in spring/early summer. A second application 2-3 weeks later will give most effective control when conditions remain favourable for disease development. When disease develops after flag leaf emergence, a single application of AGATE will generally provide good protection.
Occasionally, some transient leaf speckling may occur after application of AGATE to wheat crops, but this has not been shown to adversely affect yield responses occuring from the benefits of disease control
OILSEED RAPE
Sclerotinia Stem Rot
Application of 1.5 l/ha of AGATE at early flower to first petal fall will give control of Sclerotinia stem rot.
AGATE may be applied at any time up to and including most seeds are green stage.
RATE OF USE
Apply AGATE at 1.5 litres/ha. Maximum individual dose: 1.5 litres per hectare. Maximum total dose per crop: 3 litres per hectare.
WATER VOLUME
Cereals
Most crops: 200 litres/hectare
Dense crops after the first node is detectable: 250 litres/hectare
Large crops, varieties highly susceptible to disease: 300 litre/hectare
Oilseed Rape
AGATE should be applied in 200-400 l/ha of water, using the higher volume in dense crops.
