The new fungicide from NuFarm, Opera combines two highly effective active ingredients for cereal foliar disease control.
The epoxiconazole component has been available to Australian cereal growers in recent years under the trade-mark of OPUS. The second component, pyraclostrobin, has not previously been available in the Australian cereal market, but is widely used in horticultural crops. Pyraclostrobin is one of the world’s leading strobilurin fungicides for use in cereals. Pyraclostrobin is an ideal partner to mix with epoxiconazole for use in cereals.
The combination of two active ingredients in Opera creates a robust fungicide for wheat, barley, oats and oaten hay producers.
Opera offers an excellent level of activity across a broad range of cereal diseases. It is best when used in a protectant fungicide program. Application prior to infection allows both of the active ingredients to perform at optimal levels for residual protection of the cereal crop.
