Suppression of fusarium head blight
(Fusarium spp.)
Control of leaf rust (Puccinia triticina),
stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis), stem
rust (Puccinia graminis), powdery
mildew (Erysiphe graminis f. sp. tritici),
tan spot (Pyrenophora tritici-repentis),
septoria leaf blotch (Septoria tritici);
suppression of spot blotch (Cochliobolus
sativus)
Application Timing:
400 mL Apply when the crop is between silking
and silk browning stage for maximum
suppression. Ensure silk coverage for
optimum efficacy.
200 to 280 mL Apply prior to disease development or at the
onset of disease.
400 mL Apply prior to development of the disease
when environmental conditions are
favourable for disease development. Apply
within the time period when at least 75%
of the heads on the main stem are fully
emerged to when 50% of the heads on the
main stem are in flower.
200 to 280 mL Apply prior to disease development or at the
onset of disease.
*A case can treat 40 acres after heading (suppression of FHB) or 60 to 80 acres before heading (leaf disease). A drum
can treat 320 acres after heading (suppression of FHB) or 460 to 640 acres before heading (leaf disease).
*Corn includes field corn, sweet corn, popcorn and seed production corn.
Application Information:
• Water Volume:
• Ground: minimum 40 L per acre.
• Aerial: minimum 20 L per acre.
• Consult nozzle manufacturers for specific nozzle and pressure recommendations.
How it Works:
The active ingredient, metconazole, is a broad spectrum triazole demethylation inhibitor (DMI) fungicide with systemic
activity. For more information refer to “Fungicide Modes of Action” on page 435.
