Resistance

PHOENIX contains folpet, a protectant fungicide from the phthalimide chemical group with multisite contact activity. It’s mode of action is classified as M4 under the FRAC* code which indicates low-risk without any signs of resistance or cross-resistance developing.

Disease control in wheat, barley and triticale

For the reduction of leaf spot (Septoria tritici/ Mycosphaerella graminicola) in winter and spring wheat and triticale and leaf blotch (Rhynchosporium secalis) in winter and spring barley and triticale. PHOENIX may be applied in a programme of 2 suitably timed sprays.

Dose rate
1.5 L/ha per application 

Septoria leaf spot (Septoria tritici/Mycosphaerella graminicola) in winter and spring wheat and triticale
As PHOENIX is a protectant fungicide with contact activity, it is important to apply the first spray before the disease becomes established in the crop . A second spray should be timed to protect new growth from disease and therefore needs to be applied prior to further infection. This is normally 3 weeks after the first application, but may be sooner under conditions of rapid growth and high disease pressure. Where disease infection or reinfection has occurred prior to application, it should be mixed with alternative chemistry, e.g. epoxiconazole, to provide curative activity.

Water volume
Apply this product in a water volume of 200-400 L/ha.

Qualified recommendation:
Lower water volumes of 100 L/ha may also be used, however these have not been supported by effectiveness or crop safety data. As PHOENIX has contact activity, it is important to achieve a good coverage of the crop when spraying.

Mixing and spraying
For use by tractor mounted/trailed sprayer only. Before spraying it is important to check all hoses, filters and nozzles, and to ensure that the sprayer is clean and correctly calibrated to give an accurate application at the correct volume. Half-fill sprayer tank with clean water. Add the needed amount of PHOENIX to the water and commence agitation. On emptying the container, RINSE CONTAINER THOROUGHLY by using an integrated pressure rinsing device or manually rinsing three times. Add washings to sprayer at time of filling and dispose of container safely. Add the remaining water whilst continuing to agitate the mixture until spraying is complete. Apply it as a medium spray in cereals. Thoroughly clean the sprayer and measuring equipment after using PHOENIX.
