AscraXpro

Ascra is a unique formulation of two SDHI fungicides – bixafen and fluopyram – and the broad-spectrum azole fungicide prothioconazole.

Product details

In an increasingly uncertain world, it’s good to know you can rely on Ascra, the UK’s most widely used wheat fungicide last year.

2020/21 was another year of unseasonal weather, with a mostly cool dry spring giving way to warm and wet weather later – ideal Septoria conditions. Compounded by delayed leaf emergence and stretched spray timings, wheat crops came under intense late disease pressure.

Ascra more than held its own, proving to be as good a Septoria protectant as any.

Now approved for barley too, the unique combination of azole and two SDHIs delivers excellent broad-spectrum disease control. Alongside Septoria in wheat, Ascra boasts highly effective yellow rust and stem-based protection. In barley it offers even better control of net blotch, Rhynchosporium and Ramularia than Siltra, the previous standard.

Ascra excels for grower convenience, with wide dose flexibility, excellent return on investment, label approval for use in wheat and barley, our proven Leafshield formulation, and a ratio of prothioconazole, bixafen and fluopyram to meet FRAC guidelines.

Its all-round activity ideally suits it to the key T1 and T2 timings in wheat, and barley too, where it has full approval for malting crops.
