DIRECTIONS FOR USE

IMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the Product Label. All instructions within this section must be carefully read in order to obtain safe and successful use of this product.

GENERAL INFORMATION

QUADRIS contains azoxystrobin, a broad spectrum fungicide from the strobilurin group. It has systemic, translaminar and protectant properties.
Azoxystrobin inhibits fungal respiration. Its mode of action is different from the action of other fungicidal groups. It should always be used in mixture with fungicides with other modes of action.
QUADRIS shows good crop safety, disease control and maintenance of green leaf area which result in significant yield benefits.
QUADRIS is best used as a protective treatment or during early stages of disease establishment. In cereals, the length of disease control is generally about four to six weeks during the period of active stem elongation, but can be more when applied at flag leaf/ear emergence.
QUADRIS is approved for application to wheat, barley and triticale.

CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION
CROPS
QUADRIS is approved for application to wheat, barley and triticale.
WINTER & SPRING WHEAT, WINTER AND SPRING BARLEY & TRITICALE

Timing
Always inspect crops to assess disease development immediately before spraying. Best results will be achieved from applications made in the earliest stages of disease development or as a protectant treatment following a disease risk assessment or the use of appropriate decision support systems.
Winter and spring wheat and triticale can be treated from BBCH 30 -69.
Winter and Spring barley can be treated from BBCH 30-59.
For protection against ear disease (Cladosporium and Alternaria) apply QUADRIS at ear emergence.
When used to control the listed foliar diseases, QUADRIS applied at the first or second node stage of the crop can reduce the severity of Take-all infection.

Rate Of Use
1.0 litre per hectare.
The maximim number of applications to any cereal crop is two per crop

Tank Mixing
On cereal crops, QUADRIS must always be used in mixture with another product, recommended for control of the same target disease that contains a fungicide from a different cross resistance group and is applied at a dose that will give robust control.

Resistance Management
Use QUADRIS 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 applications of Qol-containing products to any cereal crop.
Disease control may be reduced if strains of other pathogens less sensitive to azoxystrobin develop.
On cereal crops, QUADRIS must always be used in mixture with another product, recommended for control of the same target disease that contains a fungicide from a different cross resistance group and is applied at a dose that will give robust control.
Users should refer to current FRAG-UK guidelines for Qol compounds.

MIXING AND SPRAYING
Ensure that the sprayer is clean and correctly set to give an even application at the required volume.
Half-fill the spray tank with clean water and start agitation. Shake the container and add the required amount of QUADRIS to the sprayer using a filling device (e.g. induction bowl or closed transfer unit) or by direct addition to the sprayer tank.
Wash out containers thoroughly, preferably using an integrated pressure rinsing device, or manually rinse three times. Add washings to the sprayer at the time of filling. Complete filling to the required volume and continue to agitate throughout the spraying operation.
Do not leave the spray liquid in the sprayer for long periods (such as during meal breaks or overnight).
