Crop Suitability & Usage

Resources
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 |
