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 a protectant substance.
ELATUS Plus is best used as a protectant treatment or in the earliest stages of disease development.

CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION

Crops and growing conditions
ELATUS Plus can be used on all varieties of winter and spring wheat, winter and spring barley, rye and triticale. Apply ELATUS Plus under good growing conditions with adequate soil moisture. Avoid poor growing conditions which may give less reliable results.

Timing
Always inspect crops to assess disease development immediately before spraying. Best results will be achieved from applications made 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 Plus 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 Plus at 0.75 litres per hectare.
FOLLOWING CROPS
There are no restrictions on succeeding crops in a normal rotation.

MIXING AND SPRAYIING
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 Plus 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 Plus 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 using three star drift reduction technology may be reduced.
