Valeo 500SC®: is a protectant Fungicide, with activity against a range of Diseases. Valeo 500SC®: has a low risk of resistance and has no cross-resistance to most commonly used Fungicide Chemical Groups. It is effective against Speckled Leaf Blotch (Septoria Tritici) in Wheat and Scald in Barley. It has multi-site activity and is a useful anti-resistance Fungicide for use in Wheat and Barley.
Active Ingredient:
500g/litre Folpet in the form of a Suspension Concentrate.
What It’s Used On:
Controls Diseases in a range of Crops:
Arable Crops.
– Wheat → Speckled Leaf Blotch.
– Barley → Scald.
Horticulture.
– Apples → Black Spot, Glomerella.
– Grapes → Downy Mildew, Anthracnose.
– Citrus → Melanose, Verrucosis.
– Berries → Botrytis, Leaf Spots.
– Roses → Black Spot, Powdery Mildew.
How It Works: (important).
– Protectant only → must be applied before infection.
Best Used:
– At early growth stages.
– When disease risk is forecast.
– Needs good coverage on Foliage.
– If disease is already established, it won’t clean it up.
Application Basics:
Cropping (Wheat/Barley).
– Rate: ~1.5 L/ha.
– Must be tank-mixed with another Fungicide (different mode of action).
– Max: 2 applications per season.
– Interval: 3–4 weeks.
Fruit Crops.
– Typical Rates 150–250 ml per 100 L water.
– Spray Intervals Every 7–14 days depending on disease pressure.
Key Restrictions:
– Do not apply after flag leaf (GS39) in Cereals.
– Do not use on Crops intended for Green Feed/Silage (Cereals).
Pre-harvest Intervals:
– Fruit: 3 days.
Safety & Hazards: (important).
– Suspected carcinogen (long-term exposure risk).
Causes:
– Eye irritation.
– Skin irritation/allergy.
– Very toxic to aquatic life.
PPE Required:
– Gloves, overalls, eye protection.
– Avoid inhaling spray mist.
– Keep away from waterways.
Resistance Management:
Low resistance risk (multi-site), but:
– Always mix with another Fungicide in Cereals.
– Rotate chemistry to protect effectiveness.
Bottom Line:
– Preventative Fungicide, not a knockdown.
– Best for disease programs, especially in Cereals and Fruit.
– Strong resistance-management partner.
– Needs timing + tank mix + coverage to work properly.
Caution:
Must be used strictly according to label directions.
