How it works
- The active ingredient in CARAMBA is metconazole. Metconazole is part of the triazole (Group 3) family of fungicides which have protective activity on a number of foliar diseases in a range of crops.
- CARAMBA is a systemic fungicide which means it moves into the plant, as opposed to just staying on the plant surface.
When to apply
Cereals:
- Fusarium Head Blight Activity; leaf disease control - at Heading
- Wheat, Oats and Rye - To maximize yield and manage FHB apply CARAMBA at a rate of 0.45L/acre (1L/ha) when crops are at 20% flowering.
- Barley – 0.45L/acre (1L/ha) between full head emergence to up to 3 days after full emergence of main stem heads.
- Leaf Disease Control - prior to heading
- Apply prior to disease development or at the onset of disease symptoms at a rate of 0.2 – 0.3 L/ac (0.5 – 0.7 L/ha)

* To limit the potential for development of resistance, DO NOT make more than two (2) applications of CARAMBA fungicide or other DMI (group 3) fungicides per season.
Mixing Instructions
- Clean spray tank following sprayer clean-up recommendations on the label of the product applied previously.
- Fill the spray tank one-half full of water and start agitation.
- Add the required amount of CARAMBA to the tank.
- Continue agitation while filling the remainder of the spray tank.
- After use, clean the spray tank.
Application tips
Ground Application
- Apply CARAMBA when conditions are favourable for the development of disease.
- Use a minimum water volume of 40 L/acre (100 L/ha). Ensure thorough coverage of foliage.
Aerial Application
- Apply CARAMBA when conditions are favourable for the development of disease.
- Use a minimum water volume of 20 L/acre (50 L/ha). Ensure thorough coverage of foliage.
