Preventive and Curative Action to Prevent Spread of Septoria in Wheat
Adavelt™ active
works 3 ways
PREVENTS
infections from establishing
concurrent infections
CURES
spread to the whole crop
HALTS
Fungal diseases in wheat take hold quickly.
Example infection with Septoria:
Single fungal spore lands on plant and sends out a germ tube.
The germ tube penetrates inside
the leaf and grows a network of mycelial tubes that rob the plant of energy.
Mycelia produce fruiting bodies called pycnidia.
Pycnidia release thousands of spores, continuing the spread of disease.
Infection can spread within a plant or to other plants.
Wet, windy conditions aid spread.
Preventive activity
Adavelt active is applied before an infection event.
When Septoria comes into contact with Adavelt, the active ingredient halts spore germination and mycelial growth, preventing pycnidia formation.
With germination halted, disease is prevented and yield potential is preserved.
Curative activity
Adavelt is applied to a plant in early stages of infection (< 7 days).
Fungal development is halted.
Curative Application
Fungal biomass inside leaves 7 days after exposure to Septoria
Extensive fungal mycelia inside the wheat leaf
Large pycnidial spores + fungal mycelia
INFECTION IS SHUT DOWN

In research of curative scenarios
• Adavelt achieved 95% control of wheat Septoria.1
Adavelt™ active limits secondary infections

Other commonly used fungicides
Germinating spores
Inviable spores
• Spores from Adavelt-treated wheat plants are less likely to spread late-stage infection to other plants.*
• Secondary infection protection lasts up to 15 days.
*Vs. plants treated with other commonly used fungicides

With powerful curative control and strong preventive action, Adavelt gives farmers a new, flexible option
against disease that lets them design a winning strategy.
