    Adama launches three new formulations

    Adama has launched three new fungicide co-formulations in the UK. All three products contain the active ingredient prothioconazole, with two also incorporating the company’s Asorbital formulation technology to provide faster protection against cereal and oilseed rape diseases.

    Maganic

    The first of the three new products, Maganic, contains a combination of prothioconazole (175 g/l) and difenoconazole (125 g/l) in an emulsifiable concentrate (EC) formulation.

    “Maganic provides strong protection against a range of wheat, barley, rye, triticale and oilseed rape diseases, and is the ideal tebuconazole-free option for the T3 timing in wheat,” explains Andy Bailey, fungicides technical specialist.

    Avastel

    The second new product provides protection against a broad spectrum of foliar and stem base diseases thanks to a combination of prothioconazole (150 g/l) and fluxapyroxad (75 g/l).

    Avastel is also manufactured using Asorbital technology and boasts a flexible label in terms of when it can be applied, and to which crops: in wheat it can be applied at T1, T2 or T3, and in barley at T1 or T2.

    “Avastel combines two complimentary modes of action to deliver robust and long-lasting protection in wheat and barley as well as in rye and triticale,” Andy adds.

    Maxentis

    The third new product, Maxentis, offers a combination of two broad spectrum active ingredients: azoxystrobin (200 g/l) and prothioconazole (150 g/l).

    “Maxentis is very flexible in terms of its application rate and timing and is suitable for use with a wide array of partner products,” Andy continues. “Its co-formulation of two broad spectrum fungicides gives effective control of a range of foliar and ear diseases including septoria, fusarium, rusts, ramularia, net blotch and powdery mildew in cereals, and sclerotinia and alternaria in oilseed rape.”

    For the control of foliar diseases in wheat and triticale, Maxentis can be applied from BBCH30 (stem elongation) through to and including BBCH69 (end of flowering). In barley and rye, it can be applied from BBCH30 (stem elongation) through to and including BBCH65 (mid-flowering). Maxentis is also registered for crown rust control on winter and spring oats.

    For the control of fusarium on the ear of wheat, it can be applied after ear emergence until the end of flowering (BBCH59-69), with the optimum timing being early flowering (BBCH61-63).

    To control sclerotinia in oilseed rape, Maxentis can be used as a protectant spray at flowering, with the optimum timing for application being at the mid-flowering stage (GS60-65). For the control of alternaria, Maxentis can be used as a protectant spray from full flowering (BBCH65) to and including 30% of pods at their final size (BBCH73).
