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” he 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 leafspot 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 of mind.”
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 applications are made.
McCallum 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 the 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.
