Caramba fungicide delivers superior head scab suppression. Delivering premium performance as well as control of late-season foliar diseases, Caramba fungicide has next-generation active ingredients to help you bring in a healthier, bigger harvest.

Caramba is a highly effective fungicide containing the active ingredient metconazole, resulting in significant yield protection and reductions of deoxynivalenol (DON) levels in grain. It is not only effective on head scab, but provides control of late-season foliar diseases as well.

Head scab is the most destructive wheat disease that growers face, making grain unmarketable, reducing yield and test weight and increasing levels of DON. Wheat growers using Caramba in early-season treatment saw a four to six bushel per acre advantage while used in mid-season resulted in a six to 10 bushel per acre increase.

Caramba is applied at the beginning of flowering for optimum suppression and is labeled for use on barley, oats, rye, sugarbeets, triticale and wheat. “We don’t even test side by side anymore. The 50 (wheat) acres we leave are always disappointing, so we go to 100 percent on it.  We will definitely be using Caramba (on our wheat) in the future.”
