T0 rust control in wheat

The problem

• Many popular wheat varieties are susceptible to yellow or brown rust or both.
• Fungicides, such as Folicur, that are rapidly taken into the leaf are the most effective at controlling early infections.
• Once established in a crop, rust infections are much more difficult to eradicate requiring higher rates and inevitably greater cost.
• Plus early rust control allows effective targeting of T1 and T2 sprays at more damaging diseases such as Septoria.

What to do

• Check at risk varieties regularly in early spring for disease symptoms.
• If rust is found apply 0.5 L/ha Folicur with your T0 spray.
• Tank-mix with 0.5-1.0 L/ha Bravo 500, if required, to reduce early Septoria infection.
• If mixing with herbicides or PGRs check recommendations carefully.

Folicur - key benefits

• Extremely effective against all rust diseases plus excellent rate flexibility.
• Patented, advanced formulation allows rapid uptake into the leaf; vital for rust control.
• Plus no blocked filters.
• More flexible than formulated mixtures. Only add chlorothalonil, if needed, at the right rate for each field.
