Using Escolta on Fodder and Sugar Beets

Diseases: Beet rust, powdery mildew, Cercospora and Ramularia leaf spot

Rate: 350 mL/ha

Water rate:
Ground application – apply in 200 litres of water
Aerial application – apply in 80 litres of water

Apply at the onset of disease. Escolta will give most effective disease control when applied as the disease first becomes 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. Do not use more than 2 applications per season.

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.

Withholding period: 42 days
