CPM finds out more. The reality is, if we’re not careful with products, we’ll break them. By Charlotte Cunningham As resistance to single-site fungicides continues to wreak havoc with curative strategies and diminish the protectant activity of existing chemistry, formulating a crop protection programme that encompasses a diverse range of active ingredients has become a fundamental part of ensuring disease control programmes offer effective, long-term protectant activity on septoria.

Though folpet has been available to growers for a number of years, CTL had traditionally dominated the market, meaning it’s likely that many will have never experienced the benefits of products such as Adama’s folpet-based product Arizona. One of the trials compared the effects of leading products Ascra and Revystar…
