Boogie XproPlant Protection Product ComparisonPlant Protection Product ComparisonReport inaccuraciesReport inaccuracies

Xpro is a foliar fungicide formulation with exactly the right combination and ratio of active ingredients to control septoria tritici in cereals. It’s a unique combination of two best-in-class greening fungicides with an impressive leafshield formulation system. Xpro technology doesn’t just ensure clean crops for longer, it stimulates crops to work harder and build more yield.

A fungicide for the control of stem-base, foliar and ear diseases in winter and spring wheat, triticale and winter rye.

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.
Boogie Xpro is a mixture of bixafen (a SDH Inhibitor), prothioconazole (a triazolinthione fungicide) and spiroxamine (a spiroketoalamine) fungicides recommended for control of a wide range of diseases on winter and spring wheat, triticale and winter rye.
PROTECT FROM FROST

CROPS
Boogie Xpro may be used on all commercial varieties of winter and spring wheat, triticale and winter rye.

RATE OF USE
Apply Boogie Xpro at 1.5 litre per hectare in cereals. The maximum number of applications is two per crop.

APPLICATION
Water volume
Apply Boogie Xpro in 100-300 litres water per hectare. The higher spray volumes are recommended where the crop is dense or disease pressure / risk is high to ensure good
penetration to the lower leaves and stem bases. Disease control may be compromised by reducing water volumes, where good spray coverage is difficult to achieve. A spray pressure of 2-3 bar is recommended.

Spray quality
Apply as a MEDIUM spray quality (as defined by BCPC).

Latest Permitted Timing
Boogie Xpro may be applied at any stage before grain milky ripe stage.

Mixing
Thoroughly shake the pack before use. Add the required quantity of Boogie Xpro to the half-filled spray tank with the agitation system in operation and then fill to the required level. Continue agitation at all times during spraying and stoppages until the tank is completely empty. Spray immediately after mixing.

General
Sprayers should be thoroughly cleaned with water and detergent after use, and filters and jets checked for damage and blockages.
Boom height should be adjusted to ensure even coverage of the crop, particularly at later growth stages. The correct height is one at which the spray from alternate nozzles meets just above the crop, In dense crops, at later growth stages, higher water volumes should be used.

DISEASES CONTROLLED
WHEAT and TRITICALE
Eyespot (reduction of the incidence and severity in wheat), Septoria (leaf and glume blotch), powdery mildew, yellow rust, brown rust, tan spot (in wheat), ear disease complex
(Fusarium ear blight) and reduction of sooty moulds).

RYE
Powdery mildew, brown rust, Rhynchosporium.

APPLICATION TIMING
In cereal crops Boogie Xpro can increase chlorophyll content/photosynthesis in treated plants, and extend duration of green leaf area retention, for yield increases above that resulting from disease control alone. There must be a 14 day interval between treatments.

CEREALS
Eyespot (Oculimacula spp.)
Spray in the spring at the first sign of disease, from when the leaf sheaths begin to become erect until the 2nd node is detectable (GS 30-32).

Septoria Leaf Blotch and Glume Blotch (Mycosphaerella graminicola and Stagonospora nodorum)
Apply before disease is established in the crop. To protect the upper leaves and ear apply Boogie Xpro at full flag leaf emergence (GS 37) up to mid-flowering (GS 65). Where disease pressure remains high application may be repeated.
Applications to upper leaves where S. tritici symptoms are present are likely to be less effective.
Boogie Xpro 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 DMI’s contact your agronomist or specialist advisor, and visit the FRAG-UK website.

Powdery Mildew (Blumeria graminis)
Apply Boogie Xpro at the first signs of disease. Where disease pressure remains high application may be repeated.

Yellow Rust (Puccinia striiformis)
Apply Boogie Xpro at the first signs of disease. A second application may be made 2-3 weeks later if re-infection occurs. Applications made to established infections are likely to be less effective.

Brown Rust (Puccinia triticina, P. recondita)
Apply Boogie Xpro at the first signs of disease. A second application may be made 2-3 weeks later if re-infection occurs. Applications made to established infections are likely to be less effective.

Tan Spot (Pyrenophora tritici-repentis)
Apply Boogie Xpro at the first signs of disease in spring or early summer. Where disease pressure remains high application may be repeated.

Ear Disease Complex
Apply Boogie Xpro soon after ear emergence until the end of flowering (GS59-69) for control of Fusarium ear blight in wheat and reduction of sooty moulds. Control of ear diseases can result in cleaner, brighter ears.

Leaf Blotch (Rhynchosporium secalis)
Apply Boogie Xpro in spring at the first signs of disease. For severe infections a second application may be necessary 2-3 weeks later.

RESISTANCE STRATEGY
Tank mixtures or alternation with fungicides having a different mode of action against the diseases present have been shown to protect against the development
of resistant forms of disease.
No more than two applications of SDH inhibitors must be applied to the same cereal crop.
Bixafen is a SDH inhibitor and prothioconazole is a triazolinthione (triazole).

CAUTION: The possible development of disease strains resistant to Boogie Xpro cannot be excluded or predicted. Where such resistant strains occur, Boogie Xpro is unlikely to give satisfactory control.
