“Phenamacril + tebuconazole”, first choice for prevention and control of wheat scab in China’s Anhui Province
On 5 April, 2017, the Anhui Provincial Agriculture Commission predicted at the Wheat Scab Prevention and Control Press Conference that the wheat scab would occur to be serious throughout the province this year and that about 4.3 million ha should be sprayed for prevention and control. “This is very formidable,” stated the Commission, “And we chose phenamacril + tebuconazole (Commodity name: Jingxing 劲兴) as the first pesticide for prevention and control.”
Reportedly, this is the first time for Anhui Province to hold the press conference for the prevention and control of wheat scab, which is a showcase about the strong stress on the work. “In recent years, the occurrence (incl. stricken area and seriousness) has been increasing, impacted by the climate conditions and the changes in culture. During 2012-2016, there were 3 years seeing serious occurrence, which showed extremely high frequencies. Now the whole province has witnessed its occurrence.”
In order to better prevent and control the wheat scab, the Anhui Crop Protection Station issued the Technical Notice for Prevention and Control of Wheat Scab on 27 March, 2017, a move intended to choose pesticides that are resistant to rainfall erosion, and at the same time are effective on wheat powdery mildew and wheat rust. The Station recommended the said phenamacril + tebuconazole, which was developed by Jiangsu Pesticide Research Institute Company Ltd., as the first choice, along with tebuconazole + prochloraz, propiconazole + thiram, prothioconazole + tebuconazole, prochloraz + thiophanate methyl, and difenoconazole + propiconazole.
