A suspo-emulsion containing 150 g/litre (14.4% w/w) kresoxim-methyl plus 300 g/litre (28.8% w/w) fenpropimorph.

Avoid spray drift onto neighbouring crops.

Wash equipment thoroughly after use.

Ensign is accepted by BBPA (British Beer and Pubs Association) for use on malting barley as recommended.

 

Ensign is a fungicide with protectant and systemic properties for the control of powdery mildew in winter and spring barley, rye, oats and triticale.

Ensign also provides reduction of Septoria tritici in winter and spring wheat and triticale and moderate control of Rhynchosporium secalis in winter and spring barley, rye and triticale.

 

Ensign contains kresoxim-methyl a member of the QoI cross resistance group. Ensign should be used preventatively and should not be relied on for its curative potential.

When curative activity is needed apply QoI fungicides in mixture with a suitable dose of a curative fungicide from a different cross-resistance group. Ensign meets this requirement as it contains fenpropimorph. To ensure the effectiveness of the fenpropimorph component as a partner, Ensign should always be applied at the full recommended rate.

Use Ensign as part of an Integrated Crop Management (ICM) strategy incorporating other methods of control, including where appropriate other fungicides with a different mode of action. You must not apply more than two foliar applications of QoI containing products to any cereal crop.

There is a significant risk of widespread resistance occurring in Septoria tritici populations in the UK. Strains of barley powdery mildew resistant to QoI‘s are common in the UK. Failure to follow resistance management action may result in reduced levels of disease control.

Ensign is a fungicide for use in winter and spring wheat, barley, rye, oats and triticale.

Apply Ensign at the start of foliar disease attack. A maximum of two applications can be made up to and including emergence of ear just complete in winter and spring barley and oats and up to and including flowering just complete in winter and spring wheat, rye and triticale. Optimum control of barley mildew will be obtained where treatment is applied at the earliest stages of disease development.

Apply 0.7 litre Ensign in a minimum of 200 litres of water per hectare. Increase the water volume where the crop is dense.

 

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.
