Proline²⁷⁵ product summary

Proline²⁷⁵ in Oilseed Rape Overview

On oilseed rape Proline²⁷⁵ can be used throughout your disease control programme and gives you outstanding performance on Phoma and light leaf spot in the autumn, as well as providing cost-effective activity against Sclerotinia at flowering.

Find out more about using Proline²⁷⁵ on wheat.

Why Proline²⁷⁵?

Proline²⁷⁵ consistently delivers the best levels of Phoma and light leaf spot control. Autumn programmes of Proline²⁷⁵ have been shown to produce better yield than those based on flusilazole+carbendazim, metconazole or difenoconazole.

Key Features and Benefits

• Flexible product that can be used on all oilseed rape diseases but also on wheat
• Delivers ultimate control of Phoma and light leaf spot
• Offers effective knock-down of established Phoma infections
• Also effective against Sclerotinia at flowering
• All varieties of oilseed rape will benefit
• Easy-to-use liquid formulation

Getting the best from Proline²⁷⁵

Follow this guidance to get the best out of Proline²⁷⁵ on oilseed rape.

For Phoma control

During prolonged infection periods, a two-spray programme has been shown to give the best control of Phoma. Apply 0.32 L/ha when the threshold of 10% plants infected is reached, followed by a repeat application four to six weeks later. For single applications, where spraying has been delayed use a rate 0.46 L/ha.

For Light Leaf Spot control

Use a split approach. Treat crops with 0.32 to 0.46 L/ha once the first traces of disease are detected on leaves placed in polythene bags at 10-15°C for three days. Follow up with a further treatment of Proline²⁷⁵ at the same rate in March, or Folicur at 0.5 to 0.75 L/ha. Higher rates may be needed where there is a history of light leaf spot with reduced azole sensitivity.

For control of Sclerotinia

Source: 4 BCS trials 2007-2010 average disease level in untreated 37.4%. Yield in untreated 3.78 t/ha.

Again a two spray programme has been shown to give the best protection against flowering diseases, especially when disease pressure is high, or during extended flowering periods.  The first spray will have the most impact on final yield and Proline²⁷⁵ has been shown to be more effective at this timing.

Apply Proline²⁷⁵ at 0.32 to 0.46 L/ha at early to mid-flower and repeat within 3 weeks if flowering continues.  If using a single application at mid flowering then use Proline²⁷⁵ at 0.46 to 0.63 L/ha.

Proline²⁷⁵ as part of a programme

Proline²⁷⁵ should be used as part of a programme.  Remembering that the maximum total dose that can be applied to any one crop is 1.26 L/ha

For Phoma control, two applications may be made in the autumn, followed by Folicur at stem extension and two further treatments at flowering.

For light leaf spot, Proline²⁷⁵ can be applied in November and early spring, followed by an application of Folicur at stem extension and two applications of Proline²⁷⁵ at flowering.

Proline²⁷⁵ in Wheat Overview

Proline²⁷⁵ is a flexible fungicide that can be used on cereals – wheat, rye, barley and oats – and on oilseed rape. On wheat it gives you long-lasting and effective Septoria tritici control, integrated activity against all key stem base diseases – helping to minimise mycotoxin risk on the ear – along with excellent control of yellow rust and moderate control of brown rust.

Why Proline²⁷⁵?

Proline²⁷⁵ gives you impressive control from stem base to leaf tip of all major T1 diseases (GS 31-32). Independent wheat trials have shown that Proline²⁷⁵ consistently delivers 0.25t/ha average extra yield even when there is very low disease pressure. It is the only product which combines leading Septoria control with suppression of the stem base diseases true and sharp eyespot, Microdochium nivale and true Fusarium species. Proline²⁷⁵ at T1 helps to minimise mycotoxin risk later in the season, by reducing the inoculum of true Fusarium.  Proline²⁷⁵ is the T3 mycotoxin reduction standard.

Key Features and Benefits

• Flexible product that can be used on wheat, rye, barley and oats but also oilseed rape
• Provides yield increases even when disease pressure is low
• Tried and tested Septoria, yellow rust, mildew and eyespot control at T1
• Excellent activity on Microdochium nivale and true Fusarium species at T1 and T3
• Impressive independently verified* mycotoxin suppression credentials at both spray timings

Getting the best from Proline²⁷⁵

For you to get the best out of Proline²⁷⁵ on wheat, timing and rate is critical. Proline²⁷⁵ should be used as part of a programme with a first application at T1. Levels will depend on disease pressure:

• Low risk Septoria, yellow rust and eyespot: Proline²⁷⁵ at 0.36 L/ha + CTL at 1.0 L/ha.
• Medium risk Septoria, yellow rust and eyespot: Proline²⁷⁵ at 0.55 L/ha +/- CTL at 1.0 L/ha.
• High risk Septoria and eyespot with medium risk yellow rust: Proline²⁷⁵ at 0.72 L/ha.

To control Fusarium ear blight and the reduce the risk of mycotoxins, Proline²⁷⁵  should also be applied at T3 at a rate between 0.46 and 0.72 L/ha depending on the mycotoxin risk.

Proline²⁷⁵ as part of a programme

Proline²⁷⁵ should be used as part of a programme. To ensure early protection against Septoria and yellow rust, you can use Folicur + CTL at T0. T2 sprays that can be used following T1 Proline²⁷⁵ are Firefly¹⁵⁵ or Aviator²³⁵ Xpro. Click here for more details of a programmed approach to wheat disease control.
