INSTRATA® II

INSTRATA® II combines the forces of two powerful active ingredients, Solatenol™ and fludioxinil. Solatenol assimilates into the plants via translaminar movement, strongly binding to the plant’s cuticular wax, and slowly penetrating into the tissue. Solatenol also exhibits upward movement within grass plants, giving protection from snow mould from the inside out throughout the winter season. Instrata II couples solatenol with fludioxinil, a protectant, contact fungicide which inhibits fungal spore germination and stops mycelial growth. It is the same active ingredient contained in Medallion® fungicide. Read more.

Solatenol is a third generation SDHI (succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor) fungicide representing a NEW family of chemistry for snow mould control.
Lowest amount of active ingredient (ai) load of any snow mould fungicide available.
One case of Instrata® II covers almost 6 acres. Less packaging, less mixing and filling and less clean up.
Engineered with trusted Weatherstick technology for optimized performance.

Mode of Action

Instrata II combines contact and systemic fungicides that target multiple sites in the fungal pathogen. The product is supplied in a co-pack consisting of Instrata II A, fludioxonil at 125 g/L and Instata II B containing 100 g/L of benzovindiflupyr. Combining the powerful forces of Solatenol^® and fludioxonil, Instrata^® II delivers 825 grams of active ingredient per hectare the lowest AI load of any snow mould fungicide available on the market.

Mode of Action: Multiple

Class of Chemistry

Solatenol^® is a third generation SDHI fungicide that inhibits fungal spore germination and works by stopping fungal germ tube penetration into the leaf. It assimilates into the plants via translaminar movement, strongly binding to the plant’s cuticular wax, and slowly penetrating into the tissue. Solatenol® also exhibits upward movement within grass plants, giving protection from snow mould from the inside out throughout the winter season.

Fludioxonil is a protectant, contact fungicide which in effect, inhibits fungal spore germination and stops mycelial growth. It is the same active ingredient contained in Medallion^® fungicide.

FRAC Group: 7, 12

For best control, use as a component of an integrated disease management program.
Use AI, XR or Syngenta XC nozzles.

Mixing Order:

To prepare spray solution, fill half of the required water volume in the spray tank with clean water and begin agitation. Add the required amount of INSTRATA II A Fungicide (suspension), followed by INSTRATA II B Fungicide (emulsifiable concentrate) to the tank, allowing time for good dispersion. Finish filling the tank to the desired volume to obtain the proper spray concentration. Maintain agitation throughout the spraying operation. Do not allow spray mixture to stand overnight or for prolonged periods. Sprayers should be calibrated before application and thoroughly cleaned immediately after application.
