Latest research helps target AMISTAR OPTI for higher yields and better returns

A specially-formulated fungicide mix of azoxystrobin and chlorothalonil, AMISTAR OPTI helps drive yields even higher by providing broad-spectrum disease control with a greening boost at flag leaf timing (T2) in wheat and barley.

Combining the broad spectrum benefits of AMISTAR against diseases such as brown rust, yellow rust and take-all, with the strength of BRAVO against Septoria tritici, it makes the obvious strobilurin choice and ideal triazole partner to protect the critical yield-building phase.

Greening Effects
AMISTAR OPTI also brings extended crop greening and reduced effects of crop stress, and the systemic movement properties of azoxystrobin allow it to protect new growth against rapidly cycling diseases like brown rust.

With increased grain prices, invest in AMISTAR OPTI to ensure that yield and profit isn’t left in the field.

Better greening, more yield
Improved disease control combined with physiological greening effects of AMISTAR ensures that crops deliver more of their potential yield; each extra day of green leaf retention has been shown to gives 0.15-0.2 t/ha in yield.

Reasons to use AMISTAR OPTI

Ticks all the disease boxes expected from a strobilurin (plus a few more):
•	Wheat – yellow and brown rusts, reduction of take-all, Septoria nodorum – plus added Septoria tritici activity and anti-resistance benefits from BRAVO built in
•	Barley – Rhynchosporium, net blotch, rusts, reduction of barley spotting
•	AMISTAR greening – proven extra green leaf retention and reduction in crop-stress
•	Persistent protection – extends protection compared to triazole based products
But it also offers more …
•	Extra yield – average yield response from AMISTAR OPTI at T2 (1.25l/ha) was 0.8 t/ha in trials in 2007
•	Outstanding value for money – a highly cost-effective way to combine the benefits of AMISTAR plus BRAVO
•	Application benefits – excellent systemicity means it protects new growth and maintains effectiveness in lower water volumes improving spray efficiency
