(Yield response may be obtained in the absence of visual disease. C = Control MC = Moderate Control GR = Good Reduction R = Reduction
# Application of Nebula XL to ears of wheat can lead to reduction 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 Management
Nebula XL contains pyraclostrobin, a member of the QoI cross resistance group. Nebula XL should be used preventatively and should not be relied upon for its curative potential.
When curative activity is needed apply QoI fungicides in mixture with a suitable dose of a curative fungicide from a different crossresistance group. Nebula XL meets this requirement as it contains epoxiconazole and boscalid. To ensure the effectiveness of the epoxiconazole and boscalid component, Nebula XL should always be applied at the full recommended rate. 
Use Nebula XL as part of an Integrated Crop Management (ICM) strategy incorporating other methods of control, including where appropriate other fungicides with a different mode of action. You must not apply more than two foliar application of QoI containing products to any cereal crop.
There is a significant risk of widespread resistance to QoI cross resistance group fungicides occurring. Failure to follow resistance management action may result in reduced levels of disease control.
Nebula XL 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.
Nebula XL contains boscalid which belongs to the SDHI (carboxamide) group of fungicides. To minimise the risk of resistance occurring, apply a maximum of two SDHI fungicide sprays per cereal crop.
 
Crops
Nebula XL is a broad spectrum fungicide with protectant and curative properties for use in winter wheat, spring wheat, winter barley, spring barley, oats, rye and triticale.
Time of Application
Apply Nebula at the start of foliar or stem based disease attack. A maximum of two applications can be made up to and including flowering (anthesis) just complete (GS69) in winter wheat, spring wheat, rye and triticale, and up to and including emergence of ear just complete (GS59) in winter and spring barley and oats.
Rate of Application
Apply 2.5 litres Nebula in 150 to 300 litres of water per hectare.
Qualified recommendation
Nebula may be applied at 2.5 litres per hectare in 100 litres 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.
 
Following crops
After treating a cereal crop with Nebula, onions, oats, sugar beet, oilseed rape, cabbages, carrots, sunflowers, barley, lettuce, ryegrass, dwarf French beans, peas, potatoes, clover, wheat, field beans and maize may be sown as the following crop.
 
Mixing and Spraying
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.
On emptying the container, rinse container thoroughly by using an integrated pressure rinsing device or manually rinsing three times. Add washings to sprayer at time of filling and dispose of container safely.
