DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Restrictions/Warnings
This product may cause damage to broad-leaved plant species.
Avoid spray drift on to neighbouring crops.
Consult processor before use.
When applied to barley intended for malting, refer to the latest timing restrictions for epoxiconazole given by the British Beer and Pub Association.
Wash equipment thoroughly after use.
Strains of certain cereal diseases with decreased sensitivity to triazole fungicides are known to exist in the UK. Where these occur or develop Ignite® may not give satisfactory control.
Ignite® 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 FRAG-UK website.

Crop
Ignite is a systemic fungicide for use in winter wheat, spring wheat, durum wheat, winter barley, spring barley, triticale, rye and oats.
Time of Application
Apply Ignite
at the start of foliar disease attack. A maximum of two applications can be made up to and including flowering just
complete in winter and spring wheat, durum wheat, rye and triticale and up to and including emergence of ear just complete
in winter and spring barley and oats.
For protection against Fusarium ear blight and sooty mould on the ears of winter and spring wheat and durum wheat, apply Ignite® during ear emergence.
For control of Septoria tritici and Septoria nodorum, treatment should normally be made after the third node detectable stage when disease is present and when weather favouring disease development has occurred. A follow-up treatment may be necessary if conditions continue to favour disease development.
Rate of Application
Apply 1.5 litre Ignite in a minimum of 150 to 300 litres of water per hectare.
Qualified recommendation
Ignite® may be applied at 1.5 litres per hectare in 100 litres of water per hectare although efficacy at this reduced volume has not been evaluated. Therefore application at 100 litres water per hectare is at user’s risk with regard to biological efficacy.
