DIRECTIONS FOR USE

IMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the Product Label. All instructions within this section must be carefully read in order to obtain safe and successful use of this product.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Results from trials have shown BERET GOLD to be well tolerated over a wide range of sowing dates and conditions. However under adverse environmental or soil conditions, the germination capacity of seed may be reduced and therefore seed rates should be increased in accordance with good agricultural practice.

BERET GOLD is effective against benzimidazole resistant and sensitive forms of Microdochium nivale.

DISEASES CONTROLLED
CROPS Winter and Spring Wheat
BERET GOLD controls Microdochium nivale, Fusarium culmorum and Septoria nodorum resulting in reductions of Seedling Blight, Stem-Base Browning, Snow Mould and Septoria Seedling Blight, and controls seed-borne and soil-borne Common Bunt (Tilletia caries).

CROPS Winter and Spring Barley
BERET GOLD controls Microdochium nivale and Fusarium culmorum resulting in reductions of Seedling Blight, Stem-Base Browning and Snow Mould. BERET GOLD controls Covered Smut (Ustilago hordei) and gives partial control of Leaf Stripe (Drechslera graminea). The control of Leaf Stripe may not be sufficient.

CROPS Winter and Spring Oats
BERET GOLD controls Microdochium nivale and Fusarium culmorum resulting in reductions of Seedling Blight and Stem-Base Browning. BERET GOLD controls Pyrenophora Leaf Spot (Pyrenophora avenae).

CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION

Rates of use

APPLICATION
BERET GOLD should be applied directly to the seed using conventional seed treatment equipment.
