A specially-formulated mixture, CHEROKEE
has been purpose-designed to provide
growers with an all-in-one fungicide solution
to increasing problems of rusts and Septoria
tritici resistance in wheat.
It achieves this by targeting disease with high doses of two triazole fungicides, plus the anti-resistance component of BRAVO, all combined in a single pack.
Extensive testing in over 120 trials – and more than 100 farmer-applied comparisons – has shown the CHEROKEE mix to repeatedly match more expensive alternatives for yield – for more profit per pound spent.
CHEROKEE fits into programmes wherever diseases such as Septoria or yellow or brown rusts are a threat (e.g. T0, T1, T2). It is particularly suited to early season applications because its movement abilities through the plant give excellent protection of new growth.

|
| • | Proven performance - among farmers and advisors, and in independent and company trials over 3 seasons |
| • | Reassurance against rust from two rust active triazoles |
| • | Consistently effective against Septoria tritici - thanks to robust triazole dose and the anti-resistance properties of BRAVO Weatherstik ‘built in’ |
| • | Movement through the plant to protect new growth - the systemic cyproconazole helps protect leaves which emerge after spray application, ideal for early season use |
| • | Excellent value - making it easier to invest in complete protection at all four wheat timings - T0, T1, T2 and T3 |
| • | Single 10 litre pack - for fewer packs to empty, rinse and dispose of |
| • | Ready-formulated product - for less mixing during sprayer filling and more hectares treated per day |
| • | PGR benefits - reduced lodging and more yield seen in trial plots |
Fungicide dosing experiment for Septoria tritici
control – ADAS, 2007
Comparisons against the toughest foliar challenge, Septoria
tritici, carried out at ADAS Rosemaund, showed that
CHEROKEE controls disease as well as the market standard.

Brown
rust control – 2007
In a series of four trials involving high levels of brown rust, comparing three product mixes against CHEROKEE (at equivalent cost/ha), 2 litres/ha was consistently the best treatment in the trials, without being the most expensive.
