The freedom to spray from flag leaf to heading

TilMOR™ fungicide is your new cereal flex timing specialist. With the freedom to spray from flag leaf to heading, you can count on it for your wheat, barley and oat crops. TilMOR protects against fusarium head blight (FHB) in wheat, works to reduce DON levels, and provides comprehensive leaf disease protection, including outstanding rust control. Depending on your crop stage, weather or other factors important to your operation, you can apply TilMOR precisely when you need it. In conditions where TilMOR is applied for leaf diseases, growers can also follow up with an application of Prosaro® XTR for fusarium head blight protection and complete foliar disease management, providing the greatest potential increase in yield. So go ahead. Spray when you say and get the protection you need.
