Chlorotoluron - Nufarm have 3 different chlorotoluron formulations. Can they fill the gap left by IPU?

IPU must be used up before the end of June 2009. IPU will be missed. It is one of the most flexible herbicides and controls an array of grassweeds and broad-leaved weeds in the autumn and the spring.

IPU has been valuable weapon for the control of Annual meadow-grass. IPU controlled weeds such as Mayweeds which are controlled by very few actives in the autumn and it has been a valuable contributor to Black-grass control. Options for control of many weeds in winter barley have been reduced with the loss of this product. Is chlorotoluron a suitable replacement for IPU?

The simple answer is yes. Providing the variety is tolerant to chlorotoluron, most of the uses for IPU can be performed well by chlorotoluron

Don't rely on just one triazole type fungicide for

Septoria

control

Nufarm continue to invest in a growing portfolio of fungicides with the launch of three new products in the last year. Two of these new products contain prochloraz. There is growing evidence that this active ingredient may help manage Septoria resistance

Work carried out by Nufarm in collaboration with Nottingham School of Biosciences and Harper Adams Crop and Environmental Research Centre has shown interesting and unexpected results for Warbler for the control of Septoria tritici. There is evidence that Septoria has become much less sensitive to many triazole fungicides. It was found that isolates less sensitive to many triazole fungicides were sensitive to the the active substance in Warbler (prochloraz). Prochloraz may play an important role in resistance management in the future
