Formulation:
A broad spectrum systemic fungicide containing 250 g/l azoxystrobin.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Important: The information in this leaflet 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.
Apply AZAKA under good growing conditions with adequate soil moisture. Avoid poor growing conditions which may give less reliable results.
 
RESISTANCE  MANAGEMENT
Azoxystrobin is a Quinone outside inhibitor (QoI) fungicide. Strains of Septoria tritici resistant to the QoI's are widespread in the UK and strains of barley powdery mildew resistant to QoI’s are common in the UK.
To avoid the likelihood of resistance developing, application of AZAKA should be made with due regard to current FRAG-UK guidelines for Qol compounds. Do not make more than two applications of AZAKA to crops of oilseed rape
Use Azaka as part of an Integrated Crop Management (ICM) strategy incorporating other methods of control. Always use in mixture with another product recommended for control of the same target disease that contains a fungicide from a different cross-resistance group and is applied at a dose that will give robust control. No more than two foliar applications of any QoI.
 
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE IN CEREAL CROPS
On cereal crops, AZAKA must always be used in mixture with another product, recommended for control of the same target disease that contains a fungicide from a different cross resistance group and is applied at a dose that will give robust control.
As a general rule, disease control and yield benefit will be optimal when treatment is made at an early stage of development. AZAKA is 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 AZAKA at ear emergence. When used to control the listed foliar diseases, AZAKA applied at the first or second node stage of the crop can reduce the severity of Take-all infection.
Rate of Application: 1.0 litre/ha Volume of Water:
Use 200 - 300 litres of water/ha.
 
Application Timing and Diseases Controlled
AZAKA can be applied up to and including watery ripe stage (BBCH 71). The maximum number of applications to any cereal crop is two per crop, with a minimum of 10 days between applications. 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.
 
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE IN OILSEED RAPE
Before applying AZAKA, ensure the crop is free from any stress caused by environmental or agronomic effects. Best results will be achieved from applications made as a protectant treatment following a disease risk assessment or the use of appropriate decision support systems. A second treatment may be required if disease pressure remains high.
 
Application Timing and Diseases Controlled
AZAKA can be applied up to full flowering: 50% flowers on main raceme open, older petals falling, (BBCH 65). The maximum number of applications to any crop is two per crop, with a minimum of 10 days between  applications.
Sclerotinia stem rot (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum) – AZAKA should be applied as a protectant spray during flowering. The optimum timing is early flowering to mid flowering (GS60–GS65).
Dark leaf and pod spot (Alternaria spp.) – Apply AZAKA as a protective spray at early pod formation when the first ten pods are longer than 4 cm, before they become knobbly and not later than the time the first spots are seen on the pods.
Note: an application of AZAKA against Sclerotinia will significantly limit the development of Alternaria.
 
COMPATIBILITY
Azoxystrobin is compatible with most insecticides, acaricides and fungicides commonly used. It is advisable to do a compatibility test before doing tank mixtures.
