Ascra Xpro 260 EC

Stable Yield: Operational Experience with Ascra Xpro 260 EC

When it comes to cereal crop protection, the choice of a product moves from “what to buy” to “what delivers the best result per hectare.” Ascra Xpro 260 EC is a case where the three-component formula truly works in the field, not just on paper. The combination of fluopyram, bixafen, and prothioconazole provides that sense of security where, even under difficult weather conditions, wheat and barley crops remain healthy right up to grain filling.

Operational Experience and Logistics

As an operator, I value predictability. In practice, the product is consistent: its systemic and contact action allows for covering even those spots that were poorly hit during spraying. We used it on winter wheat and barley with application rates of 1–1.5 l/ha. It is important to remember the regulations: no more than two applications per season. The 30-day pre-harvest interval fits perfectly into most farm technological maps.

• Broad-Spectrum Efficacy: Fusarium head blight and septoria are no longer critical threats to me. The product excels against blotches, rust, and powdery mildew.
• Ease of Use: The emulsifiable concentrate form is easy to measure and does not clog nozzles, which is critical in the peak of the season when every minute counts.
• Quality Control: We trust the production facilities in Germany, France, and the UK—throughout our usage, there have been no issues with formulation separation or tank-mix incompatibility.

Working with this fungicide is comfortable, provided safety protocols are followed (Hazard Class 3). It is a reliable tool for those who aim for high-quality grain production rather than just checking a box for plant protection.
