Mixing Instructions
The diseases controlled by Caramba are as follows:
1. Suppression only. 2. Not suppressed or controlled in triticale. Wheat only.
To determine the best time to apply a fungicide, you must determine your risk levels and production goals.
In wheat, 65% of yield potential is built by the last two leaves. That's why growers see the most consistent return by planning a preventative fungicide application on their cereals at flag-leaf.1 A planned application of Nexicor® consistently provides industry-leading performance and a positive return under high and low foliar disease pressure.2
If you are at risk of fusarium head blight (FHB), BASF recommends an application of Caramba® fungicide at 20% flowering (GS 61-63). Caramba can help reduce deoxynivalenol (DON) contamination and preserve grade quality. Caramba also provides an extended window for effective control of later-season foliar diseases.
1. While Nexicor fungicide can be applied between stem elongation and early head emergence (GS 31-55), research suggests that applying at flag-leaf (GS 37-39) helps maximize yield potential in cereals.
2. AgSolutions® Performance Trials, Western Canada 2016-2017
To maximize yield and suppress FHB, apply Caramba® fungicide to wheat, oats and rye when crops are at 20% flowering (GS 61-63). For barley, apply Caramba between full head emergence to up to three days after full emergence of main stem heads.
