EPISODE 10 – November 2022 Downy Mildew control in Wine and Table Grapes with Xivana® Prime Bayer HortCast Episode 10 is hosted by Craig White -Market Development Agronomist at Bayer Crop Science Australia and he discusses Xivana Prime with Alistair Beyer and Darren Alexander, the importance of this new group 49 chemistry and the importance of always using an adjuvant like Agridex®. Xivana Prime is a foliar fungicide for excellent, reliable downy mildew control in grapes. Fluoxapiprolin, the active ingredient in Xivana Prime, delivers a new fungicide mode of action with high efficacy and very low dose rates. Long lasting efficacy (10-21 days) allows longer spray intervals and flexible programs, even under rainy conditions. With an excellent safety profile for pollinators and beneficial insects, Xivana Prime also has no measurable transfer to wine for confidence when exporting. We are pleased to announce that Xivana® Prime has been included in the Australian Wine Research Institute (AWRI) booklet ‘Agrochemicals registered for use in Australian viticulture’, commonly known as the ‘Dog book’, for control of Downy mildew in the production of grapes for export wine. https://www.awri.com.au/wp-content/uploads/agrochemical_booklet.pdf Bayer Crop Science website with other useful product resources and guides : www.crop.bayer.com.au search for a Solution, Label/SDS or Bayer Representative, TWITTER CONTACTS Darren Alexander twitter.com/darrenbayer2015 @darrenbayer2015 Alistair Beyer twitter.com/albeyer74 @albeyer74 Craig White twitter.com/photobycw @photobycw Bayer Crop Science Australia: twitter.com/Bayer4CropsAU Users of products must read the label attached to the product before use.
