Jockey

A seed treatment containing 167 g/l (15.5% w/w) Fluquinconazole and 31.2 g/l (2.87% w/w) Prochloraz. Controls foliar and seed-borne diseases and can increase yield through reduction of take-all in winter wheat and winter barley.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Restrictions/Warnings

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

Check drill calibration before drilling seed treated with Jockey.

Delayed emergence may result when Jockey 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 Jockey to cracked, split or sprouted seed.

Jockey 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.

Jockey 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.

This container must be handled by mechanical meens.

Resistance Management

Certain diseases may develop resistance to BASF products.

Where these occur or develop Jockey may not give satisfactory control. Since such circumstances are beyond our control, BASF can accept no liability for any loss or damage whatsoever.

Jockey 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 DMI‘s, contact your agronomist or specialist adviser, and visit the Fungicide Resistance Action Group (FRAG)-UK website.
