Is it contact or systemic weather? Research shows that you can tailor a ratio of Banner Maxx and Medallion TL to suit all conditions to provide ultimate protection and ultimate flexibility.
Based on detailed trial work, Syngenta and ICL are happy to advocate Banner Maxx - Medallion TL tank-mix combinations.
Each fungicide provides excellent performance in their own right but combining the treatments allows a greater level of fl exibility to allow you to react to variable autumn and winter conditions.
The propiconazole in Banner Maxx is a cool weather upward moving systemic active ingredient that works inside the plant, while the fludioxonil in Medallion TL earlier is a contact active ingredient that works on the leaf in the thatch and soil and so combining the actives can give real benefits.
Combining the treatments allows you to bring the spore knockdown from Medallion earlier in the Autumn/Winter than if you were using on its own while, the propiconazole can help later in the season if growth is still proceeding in Nov/Dec.
