Escolta
Escolta is a co-formulated fungicide containing cyproconazole (DMI fungicide) and trifloxystrobin (strobilurin fungicide) for the broad spectrum control of foliar diseases in fodder and sugar beets.
Escolta controls the major diseases which infect beet in New Zealand. Left uncontrolled these diseases can seriously reduce foliage quality and DM yield.
