The active ingredient in Amistar, azoxystrobin, controls a very wide spectrum of diseases in wheat and barley. AMISTAR not only controls the key late-season flag leaf and ear diseases that erode yield and quality but also promotes a range of beneficial physiological and greening effects, so helping the crop towards its full genetic potential.
