Bayer has received regulatory authorisation for Plaxium, its first three-way formulation fungicide containing Iblon (isoflucypram).
In a mixture with fluopyram and prothioconazole, Plaxium will be available for use in a range of winter and spring sown cereals this season.
The company says it offers robust broad-spectrum activity in the convenience of a co-formulation. “Plaxium is the latest fungicide from Bayer to contain Iblon, the proven and highly effective active substance that has shown dependable broad-spectrum activity against the principal foliar threats of cereal crops,” says Greg Hanna, fungicide market development for Bayer.
Plaxium can be applied once per season to wheat, barley, oats, rye, triticale and spelt up to the start of flowering (growth stage 61) at a maximum rate of 1.5 l/ha meaning growers have timing flexibility. “Iblon has shown itself to be an effective fungicide across multiple disease targets and application timings. In Plaxium, this flexibility has been retained, adds,” Mr Hanna.
