Folicur received a full section 3 registration from the U.S. EPA earlier this week, and is registered for use on wheat in Illinois. Results of fungicide trials sponsored by the U.S. Wheat and Barley Scab Initiative across several universities and years have shown that Folicur is effective at reducing Fusarium head blight (scab) severity and at reducing associated mycotoxins in harvested grain. Illinois wheat growers now have several fungicide options for protecting against scab which include Folicur, Proline, and Caramba fungicides. In university trials, a mixture of Folicur and Proline (3 fl oz of each product or 4 fl oz of each product) has been very effective at reducing scab severity and mycotoxin levels as well, and a section 2(ee) recommendation for this mixture is available.
