Irida, ME

Reliable protection for cereals and oilseed rape

When you walk through the fields and see wheat heading or winter rape rapidly building biomass, disease control becomes your primary concern. Irida, ME is the tool that keeps you from worrying about septoria or phoma when the weather turns humid. Using this fungicide from ZAT «Avgust-Bel», you immediately notice how the oil dispersion settles on the leaf surface. The product literally sticks to the plant, resisting dew or light wind, which is critical for systemic action.

Efficiency of the Active Ingredients

The combination of metconazole and tebuconazole provides a powerful synergistic effect. In practice, the fungal mycelium stops developing almost instantly. I have used Irida on winter crops against rust complexes and fusarium head blight with consistently stable results. It is particularly effective at controlling latent infections that are not yet visible to the naked eye. The application rate of 0.5–1 liter per hectare allows for flexible treatment adjustments based on the severity of the infestation.

Field Application Highlights

• Formulation: The oil dispersion ensures excellent distribution across the leaf surface, minimizing losses during spraying.
• Flexibility: 1–2 applications per season allow you to effectively manage the protection window, keeping in mind the 30–50-day waiting period before harvest.
• Safety and Ease: The 3rd hazard class simplifies the workload for the operator, avoiding excessive regulatory complexities while maintaining the standard safety discipline required for tank mix preparation.

Working with «Avgust-Bel» is convenient because the manufacturer clearly defines dosages and timelines. The key is to strictly follow the crop growth stages and dosage rates—this not only saves the harvest but also protects the budget by avoiding unnecessary re-treatments or unplanned sprayer passes. For its price, this is a workhorse that justifies every liter spent, even in challenging and unstable climate conditions.
