Why choosing TWINLINE fungicide makes senseTWINLINE™ is a new and innovative fungicide for cereal growers in Canada, providing high level, premium control of major leaf diseases in cereals. TWINLINE also provides something most other fungicides can’t – the unique benefits of AgCelence™.

TWINLINE fungicide delivers: The power of two active ingredients for sustainable disease control of major leaf diseases in cereals.

AgCelence benefits that can result in greener leaves, stronger stems and increased yield.

How TWINLINE fungicide worksTWINLINE utilizes Group 3 and 11 anti-fungal active ingredients for effective disease control. Group 3 and 11 active ingredients block biosynthesis pathways to provide protection by impeding spore development and a curative effect by helping to prevent fungal growth.

Improved Yield in WheatGrowers can see up to 12 bu/ac yield increases over untreated wheat and up to 3 bu/ac yield increases over competitive treatments, when adding TWINLINE fungicide into their management practices.

When it comes to AgCelence™, seeing is believing. In on-farm trials across major crops, growers in Canada and around the globe have often experienced the greener leaves, stronger stems and higher yields that a planned application of TWINLINE™* fungicide can deliver.**

How does AgCelence work? Research results and grower experience show that the yield benefit of TWINLINE begins with excellent disease control, which means that:

■ The crop is not fighting disease so it can more efficiently convert carbon and nitrogen for improved growth and production; and

■ Treated plants are better able to tolerate short periods of cold, heat and drought stress.**

Other products might make similar claims, but more and more growers are choosing the unique benefits of AgCelence.

*AgCelence benefits refer to products that contain the active ingredient pyraclostrobin.**All comparisons are to untreated, unless otherwise stated.

Application tips and timingApply up to 2 times per season, with a minimum spray interval of 10 to 14 days. Use a minimum water volume of 10 gal/ac (100 L/ha) for ground and 5 gal/ac (50 L/ha) for aerial applications.

For maximum protection and AgCelence™ benefits, apply TWINLINE™ fungicide at flag leaf, before disease symptoms appear. If warm, wet conditions are present for Fusarium Head Blight, apply CARAMBA® fungicide at head emergence for a complete, integrated disease control package.

AgCelence benefits of TWINLINE

Cereal crops treated with TWINLINE have less disease and can demonstrate AgCelence benefits including greener leaves, stronger stems and higher yields.
