(C = Control MC = Moderate Control R = Reduction GR = Good Reduction
# Application of Morex to ears of wheat can lead to reduction of the levels of the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON) associated with Fusarium ear blight infection, but this level of effect may not necessarily lead to reduction of DON below the statutory limit in wheat grain.)
 
Resistance
Morex should be used in accordance with the instructions for use for the target diseases at the specific growth stages indicated.
Use Morex as part of an Integrated Crop Management (ICM) strategy incorporating other methods of control.
You must not apply more than two foliar applications of products containing complex II inhibitors to any cereal crop.
Strains of certain cereal diseases with decreased sensitivity to triazole fungicides are known to exist in the UK.
Where these occur or develop Morex may not give satisfactory control.
Morex contains epoxiconazole, 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.
 
Crops
Morex is a systemic fungicide with protectant and curative properties for use in winter wheat, spring wheat, durum wheat, winter barley, spring barley, triticale, rye and oats.
Time of Application
Apply Morex after growth stage BBCH 25 (tillering). 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.
Rate of Application
Apply 2 litres Morex per hectare in 100 to 300 litres of water per hectare.
 
 Following crops
After treating a cereal crop with Morex, cabbage, carrot, clover, dwarf beans, field beans, lettuce, maize, oats, oilseed rape, onions, peas, potatoes, ryegrass, sugar beet, sunflower, winter barley and winter wheat may be sown as the following crop.
 
 
Mixing and Spraying
Apply as a MEDIUM spray, as defined by BCPC. Half fill the spray tank with clean water and start the agitation. SHAKE THE CONTAINER WELL before use and pour in the required amount of product. Rinse any empty containers thoroughly and add rinsings to the spray tank. Add the remainder of the water and continue agitation until spraying is completed. Spray solution MUST be used on the day of mixing and must NOT be left overnight.
When tank mixes are to be used, each product should be added separately to the spray tank, taking due note of any instructions given as to the order of mixing.
