This table was prepared using current company product label books and web sites. However, label registrations can change at any time. Before using any agricultural pesticide, read and follow directions accompanying that product. Product names have been used for clarity. Reference to specific trade names does not imply endorsement by the University of Missouri; discrimination is not intended against similar products not listed.

PropiMax EC
Dow AgroSciences

Special local needs registration for use in Missouri extends application period to Feekes Growth Stage 10.5. Do not apply within 40 days of harvest. See SLN label for full details.

propiconazole41.80%4.0 fl. oz. per acreFor control of rusts, powdery mildew, leaf blight and glume blotch, tan spot and Helminthosporium leaf blights.

Highest yields are normally obtained when PropiMax EC is applied to the emerging flag leaf. PropiMax EC can be applied until the ligule of the flag leaf has emerged (Feekes growth stage 8). Do not apply after this growth stage to avoid possible illegal residues. PropiMax EC may be applied earlier if disease symptoms appear. Do not apply more than 4.0 fl. oz. of PropiMax EC per acre per season.

Do not graze or feed livestock treated wheat, barley or rye forage or cut the green crop for hay or silage. After harvest, the straw from these crops may be used for bedding or feed.

7.7 to 10.8 fl. oz. per acre powdery mildew

Quadris should be applied prior to disease development from jointing to (Feekes 6 or Zadok’s 31) up to late head emergence (Feekes 10.5 or Zadok’s 59). A crop oil concentrate adjuvant may be added at 1.0% v/v to optimize efficacy.

Resistance Management: Do not make more than two foliar applications of Quadris or other Qol fungicides per acre per season.

Do not apply until after forage stage (Feekes 6 or Zadok’s 31). Do not apply later than Feekes growth stage 10.5 (Zadok’s growth stage 59). Do not harvest treated wheat for forage.
