AMBER is a broad-spectrum systemic fungicide for control of Septoria, yellow and brown rust, eyespot, net blotch, Rhynchosporium, powdery mildew, fusarium and sooty moulds in barley, wheat, triticale, rye and oats.
RESTRICTIONS
Avoid drift onto neighbouring crops, as damage may occur, particularly to broad-leaved plants.
Malting barley
AMBER is accepted by the Brewers and Licensed Retailers Association to be used on Malting barley.
Application should be before the start of ear emergence.
Avoid overlapping spray swaths.
Resistance
AMBER contains a DMI fungicide. Resistance to some DMI fungicides has been identified in Septoria leaf-blotch (myzosphaerella 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 Fungicide Resistance Action Group (FRAG) – UK website.
The efficacy of this product may be affected if strains of disease pathogens resistant or less sensitive occur at any time. As such occurrences cannot be predicted no responsibility can be accepted for the results obtained.
Strains of wheat powdery mildew with decreased sensitivity to triazoles are common in the UK.
Where these occur or develop, AMBER may not give satisfactory control.
CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION
AMBER can be safely used on all varieties of wheat, barley, oats, rye and triticale.
For best disease control, apply as soon as disease is seen. Some specific recommendations can be seen below.
Rate of Use
Apply 1.0 l/ha in 200-400 l water/ha. Use the higher volume of water for dense crops, or for the second application.

MIXING AND APPLICATION
Half fill the spray tank with clean water and begin agitation. Add the required quantity of AMBER and add the remainder of the water.
