New Fungicides from Bayer CropScience
Bayer CropScience is delighted to confirm that following a review of the new
data generated by BCS, the ACP have recommended UK Approval for Prothioconazole
(coded JAU) and are also making a positive recommendation that Prothioconazole
is considered for Annex 1 listing in the EU registration process.
Fluoxastrobin (coded HEC) received UK registration early this year, and will
only be sold in combination with prothioconazole.
Subject to approval being received from PCS(Pesticide Control Service) Bayer
CropScience plan to market these exciting new fungicide products in Ireland in
Spring 2005.
Products based on the two active ingredients have been developed to simplify
approaches to disease control problems currently concerning farmers.
Prothioconazole offers the grower a number of key benefits which ensure
ultimate yield security at a time where this is more important than ever. It
belongs to a new class of azoles called triazolinthiones, which bring new levels
of activity and spectrum of disease control.
Fluoxastrobin is a new leaf systemic strobilurin, which apart from non disease
yield-boosting activity, sets new standards in broad spectrum wheat and barley
disease control including; Take-all, Microdochium, sharp eyespot, rusts,
Septoria nodorum, Rynchosporium, net blotch plus some activity on true Fusaria.
The mixture with prothioconazole is a particularly effective resistance
management strategy for barley, since both products have similar disease
profiles and unlike other mixtures, move together inside the leaf to protect
each other.
