Adexar =

Clayton Index
Apex
Cougar (just your kind of thing)
Morex (less SDHI)
Pexan (less SDHI)
Standon Coolie

BASF products in bold type. The others are paralells.
they just love to confuse the issue which makes it difficult to compare and a bit less flux = a few pennies less for the basf almost look a likes, looking at the pestcide register there is no direct basf product that has the same formulation

So not actually Adexar, what about the Librax?

Yes it IS actually adexar - made by same company in the and factory with the same ingredients and put in the same cans

Librax is branded but I could have got Clayton Tardis which would have been a perfectly fine alternative

A late 'T1' went on 10 days ago, was Mantra and Clayton Roulette (cyflufanid) because the disease was mildew, flag now out, ear emerging, very clean. Dry weather forecast, agronomist reckons leave it till the end of next week and call it an earwash.

There are lookalikes, parallel imports and fakes

The difference is important - the parallel being exactly the same product made by same company with same actives but labeled for a different market

I've used Standon Coolie in the past which comes in a BASF can with the same level of ingredients. But if I had had an issue with it if I rang BASF to complain they wouldn't be interested because although it is in their can it is not there product.

Great prices BTW

zoro is not the same as adexar it only has 59.4 flux not 62.5, I agree it is a bit cheaper per gram of active tho at the price you quoted
Just to confuse matters further there is Zoro and ZORO one has 62.5g flux the other as you say has 59.4g flux. Now that is the way to muddy the waters!

Aviator + azoxystrobin. Robust rates of both. £40/ha. Remind me of this when I am cursing the straw not dying quickly enough. Will be done early next week.

yes your right just looked it up, anyone would think they are trying to confuse their customers :banghead::banghead:

From what I'm told the confusion is at the request of distribution NOT manufactures who would much rather just put one product in one can that sold at one price - it would be a lot simpler / cheaper for them that way

distributors don't like us comparing prices though (wonder why that might be !) so insist on exclusive products, then they get greedy (or find themselves over committed) and start selling them off via buying groups and independent distributors and become a little less "exclusive"

keep saying it but ag inputs is a price fix cartel near as dam it, controlled by distribution, I'm not sure half of what goes on to keep prices at the levels we all pay is even legal frankly !

don't blame the manufactures IMO - it's the distributors that control the markets in the UK

Sorry for late reply , yes kerrin looks good but only got a small amount in some "growy" fields, zyatt looks really good on some "ok" fields - seems to have tillered - and kept them in the drought !!

My fav to replace Diego would be Dickens or evolution?

What makes you lean towards Dickens or Evolution if you don't mind my asking, I've only got the recommend list to go by atm till I see some Kerrin in the field. But from the rec list Kerrin has considerably better disease scores, yields and is OWBM resistant when compared to Diego. Whereas Dickens and Evolution are only marginally better.
 
Dickens & evolution proven and perform consistently well (here anyway), despite some "iffy" scores for certain things?
kerrin looks good on paper yes but yet to see it go through the combine so judgement reserved at mo!- same with zyatt to be fair but it looks good at mo?
Look at that bloody reflection stuff last year- all the scores were good for that, but it didn't grow v well here & led to other issues like black grass & slugs taking over - & silly fung bills!! - won't be grown here again!! Hence why I've gone back to evolution this time!
