An emulsifiable concentrate containing 200 g/litre tebuconazole.

A broad spectrum systemic fungicide for use in winter and spring wheat, barley, rye and oats, oil seed rape, cabbages, swedes, turnips, field beans, carrots, horseradish, parsnips, leeks and linseed.

 

Fathom is a triazole fungicide. It is advisable to alternate the use of Fathom with a fungicide with a different mode of action (e.g. a piperazine or morpholine fungicide) to avoid the build-up of resistant strains of disease.

Disease control may be reduced if strains of a disease less sensitive to Fathom develop. Fathom contains 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 fungicide Resistance Action Group (FRAG) U.K.  web-site

 

Half-fill the sprayer tank with clean water and begin agitation. Add the correct amount of Fathom using a filling device (e.g. an induction hopper) or by direct addition to the tank, followed by the rest of the water.

Rinse the container clean, preferably with an integrated pressure rinsing device, otherwise manually 3 times. Add the washings to the spray tank at the time of filling. Apply without delay. Maintain agitation while travelling and throughout the spraying  operation.

Apply as a ‘Medium’ spray at a pressure of 2-3 bar. Do not apply in frosty weather. Apply to dry foliage.

Thoroughly clean the sprayer after use.
