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.

Broad spectrum control – Escolta controls the four most important foliar diseases in beet crops – rust, powdery mildew, Cercospora and Ramularia leaf spots
Escolta provides long lasting protectant activity.
Escolta maximises green leaf retention
Escolta provides direct physiological effects giving improved crop greening
Escolta increases yields
Co- formulation provides in-built resistance management
Flexibility – Escolta can be ground or aerially applied

Crop	Fodder beet, sugar beet
Diseases Controlled	Rust, powdery mildew, cercospora, ramularia leaf spot
Product Type	Fungicide
Active Ingredient	Cyproconazole 160 g/L Trifloxystrobin 375 g/L
Formulation Type	Suspension concentrate
Pack Size	5 litres
Application Rate/Timing	Apply 0.35 L/ha. Apply at the onset of disease. Escolta will give most effective disease control when applied as the diseases first become active in the crop and before disease becomes established. It will give prolonged protection from re-infection, but a second spray may be applied 3-4 weeks later if crops are at risk from later attacks. TECHNICAL UPDATE: In 2018/19, Cercospora resistance to Qol 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.
Water Rate	Ground: Apply at least 200 litres of water per hectare Aerial: 80 L/ha
Withholding Period	Fodder Beet/Sugar Beet: 42 days
No. Applications/Season	Maximum two per season

Related Pests

Beet Rust

Uromyces beticola

Favoured in cool and wet seasons, Beet rust (Uromyces beticola) is commonly seen in beet crops. Characteristic symptoms are raised red pustules on leaves. Severe infestations can lead to leaf loss and reduce yields.

Cercospora

Cercospora beticola

Favoured by wet and humid seasons, Cercospora leaf spot (Cercospora beticola) is the most economically damaging disease of beet crops. Epidemics can cause the complete loss of crop leaves and dramatically reduce yields.

Powdery Mildew - Beet

Erysiphe betae

Powdery mildew (Erysiphe betae) is commonly seen in New Zealand beet crops as greyish-white mycelium on leaves. Favoured by hot weather, severe attacks can significantly reduce yields and feed value of fodder beet crops.

Ramularia Leaf Spot - Beet

Ramularia beticola

Severe infestations of Ramularia leaf spot (Ramularia beticola) can cause significant defoliation in beet crops. It is first seen as light brown angular spots with dark-brown to reddish margins. Infected leaves turn yellow and die.
