[QUOTE="Brisel, post: 3373012, member: 166"] What did you have in mind [USER=307]@richard hammond[/USER] ? An online database not unlike Farmade/Farmplan's Sentinel? [ATTACH=full]456948[/ATTACH] Part of the problem with distributor products is that the ingredient levels are different so comapring like with like is harder. I'll take the example of Boogie, Skyway and Aviator. All 3 contain bixafen and prothioconazole. Skyway has tebuconzole as well and is only sold by Frontier I think. Boogie also has spiroxamine but not teb. Sold by Agrii. Both are better than straight Aviator as the extra ingredients improve rust control but dilute the septoria activity/ How do you really compare them? That's market segmentation for you. For those of us in buying groups, we get mailings about which particular generics are being supported that year thanks to negotiations between the group and a distributor. For example, Rover 500 has been the preferred generic chlorothalonil for years from Anglia Farmers via Zantra. We rely on the group to give us a nudge towards a generic that is actually safe not just cheap. When Cortez first came out after epoxiconazole's patent protection ended, Makhteshim Agan were struggling to formulate it well enough so we were advised not to use it. As it turned out it worked fine and now it's all sorted. Where are we going to get that kind of information from otherwise? A note on this database website as to something dodgy is tantamount to libel. Sorry to be a party pooper - it's a great idea (y) [/QUOTE]
