An emulsifiable concentrate formulation containing 400 g/l (38% w/w) prochloraz in xylene.
MIRAGE 40 EC is a broad-spectrum fungicide for the control or reduction of a range of stem, leaf and ear diseases in wheat, barley, winter rye and foliar diseases in oilseed rape.
 
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
RESTRICTIONS
Do not spray wheat once the crop has reached the early milk stage (GS 73).
Do not spray barley and winter rye once the crop has reached the watery ripe stage (GS 71).
Do not spray oilseed rape later than the most seeds green stage.
Rainfall: A period of at least 3 hours without rain should follow spraying otherwise results may be reduced.
Drift: Avoid drift - do not spray in windy weather.
 
DISEASE CONTROL
Wheat, Barley and Winter Rye
MIRAGE 40 EC controls, or gives protection against, the following cereal diseases, when applied in a programme of foliar sprays: Apply in water volumes of 200-400 l/ha.
 
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
The efficacy of this product may be affected if strains of disease pathogens resistant or less sensitive occur at any time. As such occurrences cannot be predicted - no responsibility can be accepted for the results obtained.
To reduce the risk of development of resistance, do not apply more than two prochloraz based treatments to any crop.
MIRAGE 40EC 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 information on resistance management in DMI’s contact your agronomist or specialist advisor, and visit the FRAG-UK website.
 
CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION
Cereals
Timing
First Spring treatment: Spray in the spring at the first sign of any of the above diseases. Apply from when the leaf sheaths begin to become erect (GS 30) until the first node is detectable (GS 31). Any over-wintering eyespot will be controlled at this time.
If weather conditions continue to favour eyespot development after treatment, a second spray may be necessary 4 to 6 weeks later, but no later than the third node detectable stage in wheat (GS 33) or flag leaf emergence in winter barley (GS 39).
