Protecting Cereal Crops: Real-World Experience with Poxy

When fungal diseases threaten wheat or barley yields, there is no time for trial and error. Poxy, a systemic fungicide based on epoxiconazole, has become our go-to solution for managing complex infections. The main benefit we have observed in the field is its rapid penetration into plant tissues, which provides an immediate 'stop-effect' against spreading pathogens.

Application and Performance

The product comes as an emulsion concentrate, which makes it easy to handle in the field. It mixes perfectly in the sprayer tank, causing no nozzle clogging, which is essential during the busy peak season. We follow the recommended dosage of 1 L/ha, which has proven highly effective against a wide range of diseases:

• Powdery mildew and septoria on winter crops.
• Net blotch and rhynchosporium on barley.
• Fusarium head blight, where the fungicide is crucial for protecting the spike during sensitive growth stages.

The systemic nature of Poxy allows for prolonged protection, keeping the flag leaf healthy for as long as possible to ensure proper grain filling.

Operational Tips

As a Class 3 hazard substance, standard safety precautions must be followed during mixing and application. We strictly adhere to the limit of two applications per season and respect the 30-day pre-harvest interval to ensure zero residue levels. For those managing winter wheat, rye, or barley, Poxy serves as a dependable workhorse that delivers consistent results in protecting crop density and quality.
