MIRAVIS^® Star

MIRAVIS^® Star includes ADEPIDYN® Technology and is a co-formulation of pydiflumetofen and fludioxonil, providing broad spectrum foliar disease control in pulses and canola.

MIRAVIS^® Star is a co-formulation of pydiflumetofen and fludioxonil. Pydiflumetofen is a succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) fungicide. It is a new Group 7 in the pyrazole-carboxamide class, offering an alternative mode of action for resistance management, and inhibits the energy cycle in the mitochondria of the fungal cell. Fludioxonil is a member of the phenylpyrrole group, introducing a new mode of action (Group 12) to the Australian broadacre fungicide market. Fludioxonil inhibits spore germination and fungal tube growth on the leaf surface by blocking the protein "hybrid histidine kinase", which is necessary for energy production.

MIRAVIS^® Star is registered in pulse crops at 250 to 1000 mL/ha. The application rate is determined by the disease to be controlled. Ascochyta blight is controlled at 250 to 500 mL/ha. Sclerotinia, Cercospora leaf spot (dry beans only), chocolate spot and botrytis rot are controlled at 750 to 1000 mL/ha. The lower rate in each range may be used where lower disease pressure is anticipated in lower rainfall environments. The higher rate should be used where higher disease pressure is expected and robust control is required.

MIRAVIS^® Star is registered in canola at 600 to 1000 mL/ha. Blackleg and white leaf spot are controlled at 600 to 900 mL/ha. Sclerotinia is controlled at 750 to 1000 mL/ha. The higher rate has shown extended residual of up to 6 weeks under high disease pressure situations.

MIRAVIS^® Star is completely rain-fast 60 minutes after application. It is important to apply to a dry leaf surface to improve movement into the waxy cuticle of the leaf.

MIRAVIS^® Star has been tested for both physical and biological compatibility with a range of grass selective herbicides, broadleaf herbicides, trace elements, foliar nitrogen (UAN) and insecticides. Further testing is currently being undertaken on other commercial products commonly applied in pulses and canola.

Yes. MIRAVIS^® Star has long lasting residual control in both pulses and canola. Residual control of up to 6 weeks has been achieved when thorough coverage and robust label rates are applied.
