New E-learning Module for Fazor
Dow AgroSciences has introduced the second of its innovative concepts in plant protection technical transfer and has launched a new e-learning module for the potato sprout suppression product, Fazor. Designed for potato growers and advisors, the e-learning module can be found on-line at http://www.dowagroadvice.co.uk/fazor and will help improve understanding of how the product works, what it does and how to get the best from it.
"This unique e-learning system has been updated and improved. Whilst it retains the essential information on integrated methods of volunteer potato control and sprout suppression in store, there is in addition a wealth of product information to optimize its use. Those completing the Fazor module will be entitled to a CPD BASIS point," says John Sellars, Marketing Specialist for Dow AgroSciences.
"Fazor is the only in-potato field application solution for the control of volunteer potatoes, which can be important source of blight, viruses and potato cyst nematodes. Applied correctly, trials show that Fazor significantly reduces potato volunteers in following crops. It also suppresses sprouting in store and can be used in an integrated programme with CIPC. In order to optimize the performance of Fazor, there are a number of application timing criteria that need to be met and the updated e-learning module ensures that advisors and users of Fazor are fully briefed and understand how to get the best results from it," says John.
Fazor contains 60% w/w maleic hydrazide, formulated as a water-soluble granule. It is recommended on second earlies and maincrop potatoes (but not on seed or first earlies) as well as bulb onions. In potatoes, Fazor is recommended at a dose rate of 5 kg/ha in 350-500 litres of water. It should be applied to actively growing foliage, typically around 3 to 5 weeks before burn down. It has a maximum number of treatments of one per crop and a latest time of application of 3 weeks before harvest. It is packed in a 2.5 kg bag. Fazor is fully approved for use on bulb onions and also has a specific off-label approval for use in garlic, shallots, carrots and parsnips.
