Better disease control in barley

With the arrival of longer days and rising temperatures, winter barleys are rapidly progressing through their growth stages and will soon be at the T2 timing (GS39-59) when the flag leaf appears, and ear emergence begins.

This is a crucial stage in the crop’s development, with T2 treatments critical to protecting yield potential from diseases such as ramularia and rhynchosporium – according to the AHDB, approximately 40% of fungicide yield response comes from this timing.

The addition of ARIZONA® (500g folpet) to programs at T2 is crucial in order to reduce ramularia risk whilst supporting single site actives on rynchosporium and net blotch. Whether you're using older chemistry like Revystar and Ascra or newer chemistry such as Miravis Plus, the benefit of adding ARIZONA® is clear, reinforced by trials data. Always include ARIZONA as a tank mix partner at T2.

Including ARIZONA® at T2 in winter barley offers the follow benefits:

  • Enhances disease control by providing additional activity against ramularia, net blotch and rhynchosporium
  • Works with partner products (including triazole) to provide long-lasting protection
  • Delivers a reliable return on investment by extending green leaf area duration, resulting in better crop yields and improved grain quality
  • Protects other ‘at-risk’ modes of action (including recent additions such as Miravis Plus) from the threat of resistance.

The inclusion of ARIZONA® as a tank mix partner with other chemistries at T2 improves ramularia control in Leaf 1 and Leaf 2.

ARIZONA: when margins matter, choose performance that pays

ARIZONA® (folpet 500 g/l) is a unique multi-site fungicide that provides valuable protection against key diseases in wheat and barley. ARIZONA® delivers a reliable return on investment through enhanced disease control and safeguards the efficacy of partner products as part of an anti-resistance strategy.

  • ARIZONA® enhances septoria control in wheat and can also provide a useful reduction of yellow and brown rusts. It also offers intrinsic activity against mildew.
  • ARIZONA® also safeguards barley against ramularia, net blotch and rhynchosporium.
  • Seven years of trials data has proven that ARIZONA delivers an average yield benefit of 0.31t/ha.
