Best Use Guidelines
● Feekes 2-5 (tillering – pseudo-stem strongly erected)
- Apply 2 oz/A Tilt for early season disease suppression and to protect
the plant.
- Can be applied with herbicide.
● Feekes 9 (ligule of flag leaf is just visible)
- Apply 14 oz/A Quilt for protection against foliar diseases on the flag
leaf and residual protection on the glume.
4
Tilt: Key Product Attributes
● Tilt fungicide provides superior control of major foliar fungal diseases,
such as Septoria, tan spot and powdery mildew, while helping crops
achieve maximum yield potential and improve crop quality.
- The active ingredient of Tilt, propiconazole, is systemic.
- The site of action is inhibiting hyphal growth by stopping production
of the cell membranes.

Quilt: Key Product Attributes
● Quilt fungicide combines the Power of Two™ proven brands, delivering
complete disease protection and enhanced Plant Performance™ to
allow your crop to reach its full yield potential.
- Composed of two modes of action, Quilt is a premix of top-selling
strobilurin and triazole chemistries and offers preventive and curative
activity against tough diseases in wheat and barley.
10
Quilt: Disease Control Timing
● Broad-spectrum control of wheat and barley diseases, including rusts,
tan spot, Septoria leaf blight and powdery mildew.
- Apply 14 oz/A of Quilt from flag leaf emergence to Feekes 10.5.
