For the control of Fusarium foot rots and bunt, and moderate control of leaf spot (

Septoria tritici), yellow rust and brown rust in winter wheat.

Epona is a seed treatment for use in winter wheat for control of bunt and Fusarium

foot rot, and moderate control of leaf spot (Septoria tritici), brown rust and yellow rust.

 

Seed treatment will provide moderate early control of leaf spot, brown rust and yellow rust, but may require foliar treatment for control of later infection.

Check drill calibration before drilling seed treated with Epona.

Delayed emergence may result when Epona treated seed is drilled into heavy or poorly drained soils which then become wet or waterlogged for any significant period. Once emerged, crops should grow away normally with no lasting effects.

Do not apply Epona to cracked, split or sprouted seed.

Epona can be used through all seed treatment machines.

It is important to achieve good even coverage on the seed to obtain reliable disease control. Agitate the product before use. This is best achieved by recirculating through the pump for 15 minutes before application. If this is not possible, carefully lie the pack on its side and roll gently for 3–5 revolutions.

Epona should not be mixed with any other products.

Store treated seed in a cool dry place until drilling.

Treated seed should be drilled soon after treatment and should not be kept from one season to the next.

Treated seed must be labelled with the appropriate precautions using printed sack, labels and bag tags.

Certain diseases may develop resistance to BASF products. Where these occur or develop Epona may give unsatisfactory control. Since such circumstances are beyond our control, BASF can accept no liability for any loss or damage whatsoever.
