Varicur 450EW 10L (Fungicide)

Varicur® 450EW is a member of the imidazole group of Fungicides and is highly effective against Anthracnose in Avocados, Scald in Barley and Septoria Leaf Blotch and Ear Diseases in Wheat. The Active Ingredient in Varicur® 450EW – Prochloraz – shows translaminar mobility.
Active Ingredient:
450g/l Prochloraz EW in the form of an emulsion in water.
What it is:
Varicur 450EW = Systemic Fungicide (Imidazole / DMI group).
- Fungicide Group: Group 3 (DMI – imidazole subgroup).
Same broad resistance group as:

- Vandia (Triadimenol).
…but slightly different chemistry within that group.
What It Controls:
Main Diseases:
Cereals (Wheat & Barley).
- Septoria Leaf Blotch.
- Ear Diseases.
- Scald (Barley).
Avocados.
- Anthracnose.
Also used (off-label/other markets) for Turf diseases like Dollar Spot.
How It Works:
- Systemic / Translaminar.
- Moves into Leaf Tissue (not just surface).
Has:
- Protectant activity (Prevents Infection).
- Eradicant activity (Stops Early Infections).
This makes it similar in behaviour to:
- Validus.
- Vandia.
…but often used more for Leaf Blotch + Ear Disease complexes.
Application Basics:(Typical Label Guidance).
- Wheat & Barley.
Used Around:
- Early Disease onset → Flag Leaf / Ear Timing.

- Aspiration hazard (danger if swallowed).
- Long-term organ effects with repeated exposure.
PPE Required:
