HEADWAY is an emulsifiable concentrate
formulation containing 62.5 g/l azoxystrobin and 104 g/l
propiconazole.
Azoxystrobin
Azoxystrobin is a broad spectrum,
systemic, translaminar, and protectant fungicide from the
strobilurin group. Azoxystrobin inhibits spore germination and
development and is therefore best applied at the start of
infection. The compound also inhibits mycelial growth and
sporulation. It has preventative, translaminar and systemic
properties.
Azoxystrobin is derived from a group of
naturally occurring compounds with fungicidal properties produced
by various wood decaying mushrooms. The unique mode of action,
extended application intervals and low dose rates confirms how
important azoxystrobin is as part of your disease management
programme.
Propiconazole
Propiconazole has protective, curative
and eradicant activity. It is rapidly absorbed by the assimilating
parts of the plant, mostly within one hour of treatment. It is
transported acropetally (upwards) in the xylem. This systemic
translocation contributes to good distribution of the active
ingredient within the plant tissue.
Propiconazole is a member of the
DMI-fungicides group (demethylation inhibitors). These materials
act on the fungal pathogen inside the plant at the stage of first
haustoria formation and stop disease development by interfering
with sterol biosynthesis in fungal cell membranes.
HEADWAY is supplied in 3 litre bottles, providing coverage of
one hectare per bottle.
HEADWAY will be availble in the new
Syngenta S-pac for safer, improved handling and faster
operation, including faster opening, measuring and rinsing out
after use.
