FUNGICIDE
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
IMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the Product Label. All instructions within
this section must be carefully read in order to obtain safe and successful use of this product.
PROPERTIES OF ACANTO
ACANTO contains picoxystrobin, a broad spectrum cereal fungicide from the strobilurin
group. It has systemic, translaminar and preventative properties and is vapour active.
Picoxystrobin and other strobilurin analogues inhibit fungal respiration. Their mode of
action is different from the action of other fungicidal groups and there is no known cross-
resistance to this mode of action in pathogens which have developed reduced sensitivity to
other fungicides.
ACANTO shows good crop safety, disease control and maintenance of green leaf area which
results in signi铿乧ant yield bene铿乼s.
ACANTO is best used as a protectant treatment or in the earliest stages of disease
development. The length of disease control is generally about four to six weeks during the
period of active stem elongation, but can be more when applied at 铿俛g leaf/ear emergence.
ACANTO is approved for application to wheat, barley and oats up to and including grain
watery ripe stage (Growth stage 71).
DISEASES CONTROLLED

Brown Rust (Puccinia recondita)
Ear Diseases (Cladosporium, Alternaria, Mycosphaerella)
Eyespot (Tapesia yallundae, Tapesia acuformis) 鈥? reduction*
* Eyespot: When applied for the control of other diseases at early stem extension, ACANTO
gives some reduction of Eyespot. However, ACANTO must not be relied upon for Eyespot
control and should be used in tank mixture with an appropriate fungicide partner where
crops are at risk.
Barley
Net Blotch (Pyrenophora teres)
Brown Rust (Puccinia hordei)

Leaf Blotch (Rhynchosporium secalis)
Oats
Crown rust (Puccinia coronata)
Powdery Mildew (Erisyphe graminis avenae)
CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION
ACANTO can be used on all winter and spring crops of wheat, barley and oats. Apply
ACANTO under good growing conditions with adequate soil moisture. Avoid poor growing
conditions which may give less reliable results.
ACANTO PRODUCT USE
FUNGICIDE
Rate Of Use
1.0 litre per hectare.
Timing
Always inspect crops to assess disease development immediately before spraying. Best results
will be achieved from applications made as a protectant treatment or in the earliest stages of
disease development following a disease risk assessment or the use of appropriate decision
support systems.
RECOMMENDATIONS
On cereal crops, ACANTO must always be used in mixture with another product,
recommended for control of the same target disease that contains a fungicide from a
different cross resistance group and is applied at a dose that will give robust control.
ACANTO is less persistent against Yellow Rust than other foliar diseases. Typically, control of
this disease is maintained for 3-4 weeks. Persistence will be improved through tank mixture
with an appropriate fungicide.
For protection against ear disease (Glume blotch, Cladosporium, Alternaria, Mycosphaerella)
apply ACANTO with an appropriate fungicide partner at full ear emergence (GS 59).
MIXING AND SPRAYING
Ensure that the sprayer is clean and correctly set to give an even application at the required
volume. Half-铿乴l the spray tank with clean water and start agitation. Shake the container
and add the required amount of ACANTO to the sprayer using a 铿乴ling device (e.g. induction
bowl or closed transfer unit) or by direct addition to the sprayer tank.
Wash out containers thoroughly, preferably using an integrated pressure rinsing device, or
manually rinse three times. Add washings to the sprayer at the time of 铿乴ling. Complete
铿乴ling to the required volume and continue to agitate throughout the spraying operation.
Do not leave the spray liquid in the sprayer for long periods (such as during meal breaks or
overnight).
Volume Of Water And Spraying
Apply in at least 200 litres of water per hectare using a medium quality spray
(BCPC) at a pressure of at least 2 bar. Apply through conventional crop spraying
equipment. In dense crops, increase the water volume to 250鈥?300 litres per hectare to
improve coverage.
After Spraying
Thoroughly wash out sprayer according to manufacturer鈥檚 guidelines and dispose of
washings and clean containers according to DEFRA Code of Practice and local water
authority guidelines.
AGRICULTURAL PRACTICE
Good Field Practice As part of our Product Stewardship policy, Syngenta Crop Protection
recommend the following precautions should also be observed:
鈥? Wear appropriate clothing 鈥? cotton overall and rubber gloves, when handling the concentrate.
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
ACANTO contains picoxystrobin a member of the Qol cross resistance group. ACANTO should
be used preventatively and should not be relied on for its curative potential.
Use ACANTO as part of an Integrated Crop Management (ICM) strategy incorporating other
methods of control, including where appropriate other fungicides with a different mode of
PRODUCT USE ACANTO
FUNGICIDE
action. You must not apply more than two foliar applications of Qol containing products to
any cereal crop.
There is signi铿乧ant risk of widespread Qol resistance occurring in Septoria tritici populations
in the UK. Failure to follow resistance management action may result in reduced levels of
disease control.
Strains of barley powdery mildew resistant to Qol鈥檚 are common in the UK.
Disease control may be reduced if strains of pathogens less sensitive to picoxystrobin
develop.
On cereal crops, ACANTO must always be used in mixture with another product,
recommended for control of the same target disease that contains a fungicide from a
different cross resistance group and is applied at a dose that will give robust control.
Users should refer to current FRAG-UK guidelines for Qol compounds.

SECTION PROFILE
1. WILDLIFE ACANTO is not classi铿乪d as 鈥楬armful to game and wildlife鈥?.
MAMMALS No risk management necessary to protect wild mammals and birds. ACANTO is of low toxicity
AND to mammalian and bird species. The risk to wild mammals and birds grazing on treated areas is
BIRDS low, as is the risk due to exposure from other routes e.g. consumptions of earthworms or other
invertebrates such as insects.
2. BEES No risk management necessary. ACANTO is of low risk to honey bees.
3. NON TARGET No risk management is necessary. ACANTO poses a low risk to a range of arthropod species
INSECTS commonly found in and around treated 铿乪lds e.g. rove beetles, carabid beetles, and foliage
AND OTHER dwelling predators.
ARTHROPODS
4. AQUATIC LIFE ACANTO is classi铿乪d as Dangerous to 铿乻h or other aquatic life.
ACANTO is highly toxic to aquatic invertebrates, 铿乻h, and algae. Care must be taken to ensure that
surface waters or ditches are not contaminated with the product or used container.
No risk management is necessary. When used according to label instructions, there will not be
suf铿乧ient contamination of water to present a risk to aquatic life.
ACANTO is not categorised under the LERAP scheme.
5. SOIL AND ACANTO is moderately persistent in soil under 铿乪ld conditions. Picoxystrobin has low mobility in soil.
GROUNDWATER Use of ACANTO according to label instructions presents a low risk of groundwater contamination.
EARTHWORMS ACANTO is of high toxicity to earthworms. However, 铿乪ld data demonstrate that the risk to
earthworms is low if ACANTO is used according to label instructions. No risk management necessary.
SOIL MICRO- ACANTO is of low risk to soil micro-organisms. No risk management necessary in order to prevent
ORGANISMS risks to the processes of soil respiration and nitrogen turnover.
6. NON-TARGET When used as recommended, ACANTO is not expected to have adverse effects on non-target plants.
