An emulsifiable concentrate containing 41.6 g/litre (4 % w/w) epoxiconazole and 41.6 g/litre (4 % w/w) fluxapyroxad and 66.6 g/litre (6.4 % w/w) pyraclostrobin. A systemic fungicide for use in winter wheat, spring wheat, durum wheat, winter barley, spring barley, triticale, rye and oats.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Ceriax is a systemic fungicide with protectant and curative properties for use in winter wheat, spring wheat, durum wheat, winter barley, spring barley, triticale, rye and oats.
 
Restrictions/Warnings
This product may cause damage to broad-leaved plant species.
Extreme care must be taken to avoid drift onto nearby crops.
When applied to barley intended for malting, refer to the latest timing restrictions for epoxiconazole given by the British Beer and Pub Association.
No more than two applications of any QoI fungicide may be made to crops of wheat, barley, oats, rye or triticale.
Wash equipment thoroughly after use.
 
Disease Control
Ceriax is a systemic fungicide with protectant and curative properties for the control of a range of diseases in winter wheat, spring wheat, durum wheat, winter barley, spring barley, triticale, rye and oats.
In addition, when applied for disease control this product may increase green leaf area retention of wheat, barley, rye and triticale.
 
Resistance
Ceriax should be used in accordance with the instructions for use for the target diseases at the specific growth stages indicated. Use Ceriax as part of an Integrated Crop Management (ICM) strategy incorporating other methods of control.
Ceriax contains pyraclostrobin, a member of the QoI cross resistance group. Ceriax should be used preventatively and should not be relied on for its curative potential. You must not apply more than two foliar applications of QoI containing products to any cereal crop.
When curative activity is needed apply QoI fungicides in mixture with a suitable dose of a curative fungicide from a different cross-resistance group. Ceriax meets this requirement as it contains epoxiconazole and fluxapyroxad. To ensure the effectiveness of the epoxiconazole and fluxapyroxad components as a partner, Ceriax should always be applied at the full recommended rate.
Ceriax contains epoxiconazole, 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.
Strains of barley powdery mildew resistant to QoI’s are common in the UK.
Ceriax contains fluxapyroxad which belongs to the SDHI (carboxamide) group of fungicides. To minimise the risk of resistance occurring, apply a maximum of two SDHI fungicide sprays per cereal crop.
 
 
Crops
Ceriax is a systemic fungicide with protectant and curative properties for use in winter wheat, spring wheat, durum wheat, winter barley, spring barley, triticale, rye and oats.
 
Time of Application
Apply Ceriax 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 optimum effect against eyespot with Ceriax apply between the leaf sheaths erect and second node detectable stages of the crop.
For protection against Fusarium ear blight and sooty mould on the ears of winter and spring wheat, and durum wheat apply Ceriax during ear emergence.
 
Rate of Application
Apply 3 litres of Ceriax per hectare in 150 to 300 litres of water per hectare.
 
Qualified recommendation
Ceriax may be applied at 3.0 litres per hectare in 100 litres 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.
 
Following crops
After treating a cereal crop with Ceriax, cabbage, carrot, clover, dwarf French beans, field beans, lettuce, maize, oats, oilseed rape, onions, peas, potatoes, ryegrass, sugar beet, sunflower, winter barley and winter wheat may be sown as the following crop. The effect of Ceriax on other following crops has not been assessed.
 
Mixing and Spraying
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.
Thoroughly rinse application equipment three times with water immediately after use.
