Septoria tritici - Makhteshim-Agan

CORTEZ – Danish Trials
CORTEZ has been widely tested to demonstrate equivalence
with standards.
At the Danish Institute of Agricultural Sciences, the world
renowned plant pathologist Dr Lise Nistrup Jørgensen has
tested CORTEZ alongside the leading brand of epoxiconazole..
The new formulation of epoxiconazole, CORTEZ, from MAuk
was screened for efficacy on cereal diseases.
According to Dr Jorgensen, both products gave similar control of
the diseases present in the trials which were Septoria tritici and
yellow rust in wheat, and net blotch in barley.
“The yield responses from the two products were also similar and
were not significantly different,” she says.

3 wheat trials and 4 barley trials were carried out by Aarhus
University, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences. Flakkebjerg, Denmark.
The trials evaluated the efficicacy of three doses (full, half and
quarter)
