CPM investigates. The addition of Kantor can ensure fungicide coverage is optimised. By Lucy de la Pasture Over the past few seasons chlorothalonil has underpinned cereal fungicide programmes – providing good protectant activity at a reasonable price, with the added benefit of its multisite mode of action to help protect the single-site actives it’s mixed with. From May 20 this year all that will change as CTL takes its final bow, leaving folpet or mancozeb as the only multisite alternatives. Folpet has an extensive trials history of good efficacy on a range of diseases, according to Adama, including septoria in wheat and rhynchosporium in barley. Interagro suggests fungicide mixes may be enhanced by the addition of Kantor, based on the results of 49 trials (over seven years) which have recorded an average yield boost of 0.27t/ha with a range of fungicide partners, including folpet. Where Kantor has been added to folpet in barley fungicide trials, control of rhynchosporium has surpassed that achieved with CTL as the multisite partner. This spring…
