GENERAL INFORMATION

Benzovindiflupyr is an orthosubstituted pyrazole carboxamide fungicide belonging to the sub-class of the benzonorbornenes.
Benzovindiflupyr is an SDH inhibitor (FRAC group #7 carboxamides). Benzovindiflupyr is predominantly protectant substance.
Prothioconazole is a triazole (DMI) fungicide. Prothioconazole is a systemic fungicide with protectant and curative properties.
ELATUS Era should be used as a protectant treatment or in the earliest stages of disease development.
Consult processor before using on crops for processing.

CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION
Crops and growing conditions
ELATUS ERA can be used on all varieties of winter and spring wheat, winter and spring barley, rye, oats, triticale, combining peas, field beans and linseed/flax. Apply ELATUS ERA under good growing conditions with adequate soil moisture. Avoid poor growing conditions which may give less reliable results. Effectiveness using three star drift reduction technology may be reduced.

Timing
Always inspect crops to assess disease development immediately before spraying. This product should be used as a protectant treatment or in the earliest stages of disease development following a disease risk assessment or the use of appropriate decision support systems. ELATUS Era is accepted by BBPA (British Beer and Pubs Association) for use on malting barley provided application is made before the beginning of flowering (GS 61). Latest timing in malting barley is therefore up to and including complete ear emergence (GS 59).

Rates of use
Apply ELATUS Era at 1.0 litres per hectare on cereals.
Apply ELATUS Era at 0.66 litres per hectare on pulses and linseed/flax.

MIXING AND SPRAYING
Mixing Procedure
Make sure the sprayer is set to give an even application at the correct volume. Fill the spray tank with half the required volume of water and begin agitation. Add the required amount of ELATUS Era to the spray tank and allow to disperse before adding any other product. Add the rest of the water and continue to agitate the mixture thoroughly. Always agitate during spraying.

Spray Volume and Application
Apply ELATUS Era in a recommended 100 - 400 litres of water per hectare through conventional crop spraying equipment. 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 maybe compromised by reducing water volumes, where good spray coverage is difficult to achieve.
A spray pressure of 2-3 bars is recommended. Effectiveness may be reduced using three star drift reduction technology
