MiraVes Ace 275 SE

Field experience with Miravis Ace 275 SE

When you are out in the field during the flowering stage of wheat or barley, the stakes for your crop quality are at their highest. Any infection settling on the ear is a direct hit to your bottom line. Using Syngenta’s «Miravis Ace 275 SE», I rely on its dual-action strength: the combination of propiconazole and pydiflumetofen provides the essential systemic and contact protection needed during this critical window.

Application and performance

From an operator's perspective, this product is highly predictable. The suspension concentrate formulation makes it easy to prepare the tank mix without worrying about nozzle clogging. A dosage range of 0.5–1.0 L/ha meets all the requirements for intensive farming, and the fact that it requires only one application saves valuable time during the peak of the season.

The product effectively handles a wide range of common field threats:

• Fusarium head blight: This is perhaps the most serious issue, and Miravis handles it with confidence.
• Foliar diseases: Septoria, tan spot (pyrenophora), and helminthosporium development are effectively halted.
• Barley diseases: It provides excellent systemic control over net blotch and scald.

Operational notes

Since the product is classified as hazard class 3, standard safety measures must be followed, which is standard procedure for any professional operator. An important detail to keep in mind is the 30-day pre-harvest interval (PHI). You need to plan your harvesting schedule accordingly to ensure compliance. It really acts as an "ace" in ear protection, creating a robust barrier against fungal pathogens when the plant is at its most vulnerable state.
