Boosting ramularia control with ARIZONA® at T2

T2 is the key timing for the control of ramularia and to provide continued protection against net blotch and rhynchosporium. It is therefore the perfect opportunity to include the multi-site fungicide, ARIZONA® (500g/l folpet) as a tank mix partner to products such as Revysol.

The addition of ARIZONA® at T2 provides a distinct improvement in ramularia control and extends the crop’s green leaf area duration resulting in better crop yields and improved grain quality.

The addition of ARIZONA® also plays an important role in resistance management: there is increasing concern for the continued development of ramularia and net blotch resistance to at-risk single site chemistries including even the most recently introduced and highly effective products such as adepidyn. Including ARIZONA® in mixture with products such as this will extend the effective lifetime of this important SDHI fungicide against both ramularia and net blotch.

Why add ARIZONA?

Including ARIZONA® (500g/l folpet) at the T2 timing provides five clear benefits:

• Enhances disease control by providing additional activity against ramularia, net blotch and rhynchosporium
• Extends green leaf area and duration
• Works with partner products to boost disease control
• ADAMA’s ARIZONA® is the only multi-site fungicide which has been proven to extend the effective lifetime of at-risk single site fungicides by delaying the development of resistance
• Delivers a reliable return on investment by enhancing crop yield and improving grain quality

Improved disease control = better yields

As the charts below illustrate, the inclusion of ARIZONA® as a tank mix partner with other chemistries enhances disease control, resulting in better yields.

Above: The inclusion of ARIZONA® at T2 reduces ramularia infections in Leaf 1 and Leaf 2.

Above: The addition of ARIZONA® at T2 provides a valuable uplift in yield.

Greener for longer

Trials have also shown that the inclusion of ARIZONA® at T2 helps plants to stay greener for longer, with results clearly visible in the field.
