JOULES contains chlorothalonil, a non-systemic broad spectrum protectant fungicide for use on wheat and barley. Best results are obtained by treatment before disease enters the crop or at the first sign of attack.

JOULES controls the following diseases:

Winter and spring wheat Protection against Leaf spot (Septoria tritici) and Glume blotch (Leptosphaeria (syn. Septoria nodorum)

Winter and spring barley Rhynchosporium secalis (moderate control). Barley spotting control is also achieved when used as part of a programme with other fungicides.

It is very important to achieve a good spray coverage of all foliage.

 

2.0 l/ha.

Growth stage 30–32 Applied once up to maximum individual dose of 2.0 l/ha if Septoria is evident and/or conditions are favourable for the spread of the disease. This may give protection against the spread of Septoria.

Growth stage 33–65 Provides protection against Septoria on the flag leaf and ear and should normally be applied between the third node detectable stage (GS 33) and the mid-flowering stage (GS 65). For best results apply up to 2.0 l/ha between the third node detectable stage (GS 33) and the flag leaf fully emerged stage (GS 39). Water volume Minimum 160 l/ha.

 

2.0 l/ha.

Apply as soon as disease is first detected in the crop. A second application may be made up to GS 49 if severe Rhychosporium pressure occurs or if there is a risk of leaf spotting.

Minimum 160 l/ha.

JOULES should be used as part of an integrated fungicide programme.

 

Ensure that the sprayer is clean and correctly set to give even application at the required volume. Use a MEDIUM spray (as defined by BCPC) at a pressure of at least 2.0 bar.

Half fill the spray tank with clean water and start agitation. Slowly invert the container several times and add the required amount of JOULES to the sprayer using a filling device (e.g. induction hopper) or by direct addition to the spray tank. Rinse the container clean. Preferably use an integrated pressure rinsing device or manually rinse three times. Add washings to the sprayer at the time of filling. Agitate during completion of filling and while spraying. Do not leave in spray tank for long periods without using.

 

Please consult your Nufarm distributor.

Before using any tank mixture also consult and comply with the recommendations of the partner product. Each product should be added separately to the bulk of water in the spray tank and thoroughly mixed before adding the next chemical. Agitate during completion of filling and spray immediately.
