Vimoy^®

In severe situations, Septoria tritici can reduce yields by up to 50%. In trials spanning three seasons (2021-23), iblon^® applied at T1 was found to deliver better control of Septoria than other fungicides used at this timing.

Yellow rust is prominent in wheat crops across the UK with yield losses as high as 40-50% in severe cases, according to research by the AHDB. In trials spanning three seasons (2021-23), iblon demonstrated excellent preventative and curative control of yellow rust that was on a par with products containing Solatenol^®, such as Elatus^® Era when applied at the T1 timing.

Common across the southern and eastern regions of England, brown rust is often harder to control than yellow rust. The average yield penalty is about 15% but severe infections can reduce yield by as much as 40%, according to research by the AHDB. In trials spanning three seasons (2021-23), iblon demonstrated higher levels of brown rust control than other fungicides applied when applied at the T2 timing.

Stem-based diseases such as eyespot attack the vascular system, impeding nutrient and water transport. This results in weakened stems, increased lodging and reduced grain fill. Research by the AHDB found that yield losses from eyespot were typically about 5% but can be as much as 30% in severe infections, even in the absence of lodging. iblon^®, applied as Vimoy^®, in combination with Proline^® (prothioconazole), has been shown to deliver greater control of eyespot than seen with Ascra^® Xpro^® (bixafen + fluopyram + prothioconazole).

In combination with Proline^® (prothioconazole), iblon^®’s spectrum of activity is extended to include Fusarium and mildew, thereby ensuring excellent protection against the principal foliar threats.
