THE BENEFITS OF ASCRA IN WHEAT

Ascra continues to be the most effective all-round fungicide in wheat, offering proven protection from key wheat diseases Septoria, Yellow Rust, Brown Rust, Mildew, Eyespot, and Fusarium.

Ascra’s flexibility allows you to adjust dose rates to suit the circumstances at T1 and T2, including disease levels in the crop, varietal resistance, weather, drilling date and spray timings. 

At T1 Ascra offers the broadest range of activity on key diseases, particularly Septoria, Yellow rust and Eyespot and can reduce the need for a mildewicide, while at T2 Ascra’s curative activity helps to clear up disease in leaf 2, protecting the flag leaf. At T2, Ascra also provides persistency to protect crops through to grain fill.

The Xpro formulation with LeafShield provides improved coverage, leaf penetration and rain-fastness.
