EXCALIA INHERENT ACTIVITY AGAINST SCLEROTIUM ROLFSII VS. OTHER SDHI FUNGICIDES Excalia is highly active against Sclerotium rolfsii . Laboratory tests showed that Excalia inhibits the growth of the white mold pathogen at doses as low as 0.006 ppm (6 parts per billion). No other SDHI fungicide in the test provided the same level of inhibition at doses as low as Excalia . EC50 is the effective concentration in parts per million (ppm) needed to inhibit S. rolfsii hyphal growth by 50%. Excalia was more effective than other SDHI fungicides in inhibiting growth of Sclerotium rolfsii in laboratory testing.

Fluxapyroxad (SDHI in Priazor®) EC50 = 0.044 ppm

Solatenolâ„¢ (SDHI in Elatus®) EC50 = 0.029 ppm

Excalia EC50 = 0.006 ppm

Fontelis® EC50 = 0.084 ppm

Convoy® EC50 = 0.094 ppm

EXCALIA EFFICACY AGAINST WHITE MOLD (SOUTHERN STEM ROT) Excalia gives excellent control of white mold and delivers top yields when used in 2-, 3- and 4-block spray programs. For control of early and late leaf spot, a protectant such as chlorothalonil or other fungicide recommended for these diseases should be tank-mixed with Excalia .
