New fungicide well received by barley market last season


Published on 06/08/2025


Ross McCallum, territory sales manager for Syngenta based in Ashburton, reports excellent feedback on this powerful and flexible formulation.
 
"The solo formulation of Miravis
Flexi has been particularly appreciated," Ross notes.

 
"It offers growers and field
representatives the flexibility to choose the best fungicide mix partner for their specific conditions and needs.

 
“Growers understand that diseases
such as Ramularia leaf spot and Scald can both cause significant yield losses if not properly controlled.

 
“The powerful, long lasting and
consistent control of these diseases was evident with Miravis Flexi this season.

 
“Miravis Flexi has excellent
compatibility with a range of other fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, and plant growth regulators tested in our comprehensive crop safety trials.

 
“This made my job easy to
recommend different tank mix combinations, appropriate for any given situation, giving growers added peace ofmind.”

 
Miravis Flexi can also be flexibly
applied from GS 32-49 depending on the disease risk present at the time.

 
A minimum interval of 14 days must
be observed if two consecutive Miravis Flexi applications are made.
 
Ross says it is also important that
resistance management guidelines, designed to delay the onset of resistance are strictly followed.

 
Therefore, a maximum of two Miravis
Flexi or any Group 7 SDHI fungicides applications should be made per season.

 
“Miravis Flexi should always be
applied preventatively at a rate of 1.2 litres per hectare and in mixture with another approved, non-cross resistant fungicide recommended to control the same target diseases.

 
“The addition of an approved triazole
fungicide is recommended,” he says.

 
Syngenta has a deep investment in the
NZ cereal industry and provides excellent stewardship to the products registered in cereals.

 
These include some well-known
brands: Amistar, Elatus Plus and Moddus Evo and Twinax Xtra.

 
With continued industry support from
growers and distributors we look forward to bringing new products to the market in the future.

 
Growers are reminded that purchases
of Miravis Flexi and other Syngenta products help them qualify for free nozzles.
