Using Escolta in Fodder Beet

Escolta, a powerful co-formulation containing two active ingredients (a triazole and a strobilurin), controls the four most common foliar diseases in beet crops; powdery mildew, rust, Cercospora and Ramularia leaf spot. By controlling these diseases, Escolta maximises green leaf retention and provides physiological benefits, delivering improved crop greening and yield benefits.

TECHNICAL UPDATE: In 2018/2019, Cercospora resistance to QoI fungicides was found in beet crops in a small number of NZ locations. If Cercospora resistance is present in your crop, and conditions favour disease development, Escolta may not always provide control, but it will continue to control other important diseases, leading to profitable yield increases.

Escolta Increases Yields

During the 2016/17 season, Bayer Crop Science undertook 18 block trials in commercially grown beet crops. As can be seen below as an average across the 18 trials, the Escolta treatments delivered an outstanding 15% yield increase.
