Quilt Xcel Learning Module

This tutorial explains what you need to know about managing plant stresses and fighting diseases for optimum yield. You'll learn about benefits you never knew a fungicide could provide.

• Helps plants better manage stressful growing conditions, like drought or periods of too much water
• Improves plant growth for extended grain/pod fill
• Maximizes yield
• Offers broad-spectrum preventive and curative disease control

• Quilt Xcel has been shown to reduce transpiration (stomatal conductance). Plants release water vapor through the stomates, but Quilt Xcel helps close stomates to reduce this loss and thus reduce wilting.
• Reducing stomatal conductance improves a plant’s water use efficiency.

• Quilt Xcel enables corn and soybean plants to counteract drought conditions and better translocate water and nutrients

• Quilt Xcel enables corn and soybean plants to counteract drought conditions and better translocate water and nutrients

How does this help?

• Plants are able to continue with growth and grain or pod fill with less water, because plants can use water more efficiently
• In 2012, there was visibly less curling of Quilt Xcel-treated corn leaves in drought-stressed areas

Quilt Xcel helps crops withstand the stress of wet growing conditions with:

• Stronger, deeper root systems
• Preventive and curative control of fungal diseases that thrive in wet conditions.

• Quilt Xcel helps plants maximize the sun’s energy, allowing for longer periods of photosynthesis
• Longer periods of photosynthesis lead to more crop growth and allow plants to continue with grain or pod fill for an extended period of time
• More growth allows plants to reach canopy quicker for weed control assistance

• Corn ears grow bigger with more kernels around
• Soybeans develop fuller pods with bigger beans and better pod retention
• Cereals experience extended grain fill with fuller kernels and higher test weights

• Systemic movement of active ingredients within the plant’s xylem carries protection throughout the plant, even to new growth
• Preventive and curative disease control offers a higher level of protection and application flexibility
• With two modes of action, Quilt Xcel is a resistance management tool

• Quilt Xcel can be applied at the early (V4-V8) timing for early-season disease control, long-lasting stress management benefits and herbicide and insecticide tank-mixing options for one convenient pass across the field
• Quilt Xcel can also be applied around R1 for additional disease control and stress management benefits

• Tank mixes easily with Endigo® ZC insecticide for a one-pass application
• Targets insects and diseases
• Boosts yields by 17.8 bu/A over an untreated check*

Added physiological benefits help ensure maximum grain fill and grower profit

• Enables cereal crops to counteract conditions of too little or too much water and maximize the sun’s energy for extended grain fill with fuller kernels
• Boosts yields an average of 9-11 bu/A

Safeguards cereal crops against yield-robbing diseases, including rusts, powdery mildew, tan spot and Septoria

• Can be tank mixed with herbicides to reduce number of trips across the field while preventing early-season disease infections
• Shields the valuable flag leaf from disease when applied between Feekes Growth Stages 8 and 10.5

• Quilt Xcel has multi-crop flexibility for use in corn, soybeans and cereals
• Plus, it delivers proven, consistent performance with average yield results of:
  • Corn early (V4-V8): 6-8 bu/A
  • Corn around R1: 10-18 bu/A
  • Soybeans at R3: 4-8 bu/A
  • Wheat at flag leaf: 9-11 bu/A
