GENERAL INFORMATION

VERTIPIN is a foliar fungicide applied in post-emergence to control powdery mildew in winter and spring wheat, winter and spring oats and winter and spring barley. The product should be used from beginning of stem elongation (BBCH 30) to flowering (BBCH 59).

WARNINGS AND RESTRICTIONS
DO NOT APPLY under windy conditions.

DISEASE CONTROLLED
VERTIPIN is a post-emergence fungicide used to control powdery mildew. Sulphur can give partial control of powdery mildew on cereals. However, results may be variable especially in showery weather. Active established mildew may not be adequately controlled by sulphur.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
Sulphur belongs to the FRAC (Fungicide Resistance Action Committee) group M2 (Multiple site contact activity). Sulphur is a mineral active substance with multisite mode of action. Sulphur affects numerous biochemical reactions implicated in cell respiration. As the resistance risk to sulphur is considered low, no specific resistance management strategy is considered to be required, beyond adhering to the instructions on the proposed label. In addition, sulphur could be used in fungicide programs in resistant management of unisite fungicides.

APPLICATION
Do not interrupt the application of VERTIPIN. Maintain agitation during application and transport. In case of spraying in high disease pressure, use water volumes ≥ 150 L/ha with a pressure > 1,5 bar.

MIXING
Fill the sprayer tank up to three quarter with clean water and begin gentle agitation. Add the required quantity of product into the sprayer tank and allow to disperse fully. If necessary, add the other plant protection products and continue agitation. Fill up the tank with clean water to the required level whilst still maintaining agitation.

TANK MIXTURES
Perform a compatibility test before mixing. Do not mix VERTIPIN with oils or products containing mineral oil. VERTIPIN® does not require the addition of adjuvant.
