Cherokee fungicide controls Septoria tritici

HIGH rates of two triazole fungicides — cyproconazole and propiconazole — plus the anti-resistance fungicide chlorothalonil, are included in the new Cherokee cereal fungicide from Syngenta.

It is recommended for control of Septoria tritici, brown and yellow rust, and for moderate control of mildew in wheat and broad-spectrum disease control in barley (including ‘blotching’)

It offers excellent value for money, according to Billy Cotter, business manager of Syngenta Ireland, because it was developed from existing products, without the high costs of bringing active ingredients to the market.
