An emulsifiable concentrate containing 83 g/litre (8 % w/w) epoxiconazole.

A systemic fungicide for use in winter wheat, spring wheat, durum wheat, winter barley, spring barley, triticale, rye and oats.

This product may cause damage to broad-leaved plant species.

Avoid spray drift on to neighbouring crops.

Consult processor before use.

When applied to barley intended for malting, refer to the latest timing restrictions for epoxiconazole given by the British Beer and Pub Association Wash equipment thoroughly after use.

Strains of certain cereal diseases with decreased sensitivity to triazole fungicides are known to exist in the UK. Where these occur or develop Bassoon EC may not give satisfactory control.

Bassoon EC contains a DMI fungicide. 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 DMIs contact your agronomist or specialist advisor, and visit the FRAG-UK website.

Bassoon EC is a systemic fungicide for use in winter wheat, spring wheat, durum wheat, winter barley, spring barley, triticale, rye and oats.

Apply Bassoon EC at the start of foliar disease attack. A maximum of two applications can be made up to and including flowering just complete in winter and spring wheat, durum wheat, rye and triticale and up to and including emergence of ear just complete in winter and spring barley and oats.

For protection against Fusarium ear blight and sooty mould on the ears of winter and spring wheat and durum wheat, apply Bassoon EC during ear emergence.

For control of Septoria tritici and Septoria nodorum , treatment should normally be made after the third node detectable stage when disease is present and when weather favouring disease development has occurred. A follow-up treatment may be necessary if conditions continue to favour disease development.

Apply 1.5 litre Bassoon EC in a minimum of 150 to 300 litres of water per hectare.

Bassoon EC may be applied at 1.5 litres per hectare in 100 litres of water per hectare although efficacy at this reduced volume has not been evaluated. Therefore application at 100 litres water per hectare is at user’s risk with regard to biological efficacy.

After treating a cereal crop with Bassoon EC, oilseed rape, cereals, sugar beet, maize, clover, dwarf French beans, field beans, peas, carrots, potatoes, lettuce, cabbage, sunflower, ryegrass and onions may be sown as the following crops.

The effect of Bassoon EC on other crops has not been assessed.

Apply as a MEDIUM spray, as defined by BCPC.

Half fill the spray tank with clean water and start the agitation. SHAKE THE CONTAINER WELL before use and pour in the required amount of product. Rinse any empty containers thoroughly and add rinsings to the spray tank. Add the remainder of the water and continue agitation until spraying is completed.

When tank mixes are to be used, each product should be added separately to the spray tank, taking due note of any instructions given as to the order of mixing.

Contact your loal distributor or BASF representative.
