IN BRIEF

&#8226 NEW fungicides to outperform and outlast strobilurin fungicides will prompt a rethink of disease control programmes, says Mike Read of manufacturer AgrEvo. New cereal fungicides based on fluquinconazole will be launched early next year under the Vista brand name. Prolonged Septoria and rust control and good crop safety, are claimed. Novel formulation technology will see advanced fluquinconazole formulations offering enhanced curative control, a wider disease spectrum and greater dose flexibility the year after, claims Mr Read.n
