Escolta

Escolta is a co-formulation fungicide for the control of foliar diseases in fodder and sugar beets.

Resources

Broad spectrum control – Escolta controls the four most important foliar diseases in beet crops – rust, powdery mildew, Cercospora and Ramularia leaf spots
Escolta provides long lasting protectant activity.
Escolta maximises green leaf retention
Escolta provides direct physiological effects giving improved crop greening
Escolta increases yields
Co- formulation provides in-built resistance management
Flexibility – Escolta can be ground or aerially applied

Crop	Fodder beet, sugar beet
Diseases Controlled	Rust, powdery mildew, cercospora, ramularia leaf spot
Product Type	Fungicide
Active Ingredient	Cyproconazole 160 g/L Trifloxystrobin 375 g/L
Formulation Type	Suspension concentrate
Pack Size	5 litres
Application Rate/Timing	Apply 0.35 L/ha. Apply at the onset of disease. Escolta will give most effective disease control when applied as the diseases first become active in the crop and before disease becomes established. It will give prolonged protection from re-infection, but a second spray may be applied 3-4 weeks later if crops are at risk from later attacks. TECHNICAL UPDATE: In 2018/19, Cercospora resistance to Qol fungicides was found in beet crops in a small number of NZ locations. If Cercospora resistance is present in your crop, and conditions favour disease development, Escolta may not always provide control, but it will continue to control other important diseases, leading to profitable yield increases.
Water Rate	Ground: Apply at least 200 litres of water per hectare Aerial: 80 L/ha
Withholding Period	Fodder Beet/Sugar Beet: 42 days
No. Applications/Season	Maximum two per season
