BEDROCK™/CARIAL® Flex Application Guidance for Potatoes
While CAA resistant strains have not been confirmed in the UK via the Fight Against Blight (FAB) programme:
✓ Apply BEDROCK™/CARIAL® Flex preferably in a preventive manner.
✓ The co-formulation of these two actives helps to reduce the selection pressure of resistant strains.
✓ Apply BEDROCK™/CARIAL® Flex always at recommended dose rates.
✓ Preferably alternate use of BEDROCK™/CARIAL® Flex with actives that are not in FRAC Group 40. However, do not apply more than 2 consecutive applications or any other CAA containing fungicide.
Once CAA resistant strains are confirmed in UK via FAB, BEDROCK™/CARIAL® Flex must be:
✓ Mixed with another active effective against late blight.
✓ OR strictly alternated with actives that are not in FRAC Group 40.
