Fluquinconazole in the product Jockey Systemic Seed Fungicide

The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) has before it an application from Bayer CropScience Pty Ltd to vary the current withholding periods (grazing restraints) for use of Jockey Systemic Seed Fungicide (Jockey) when used for the control of Take all (Suppression) (Gaeumannomyces graminis), Common Bunt (Tilletia spp.), Seed- and Soil-borne Flag Smut (Urocystis agropyri), Loose Smut (Ustilago tritici), Stripe Rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici), Leaf Rust (Puccinia recondita f. sp. tritici) and Septoria tritici blotch (Suppression) (Mycosphaerella graminicola) in wheat seed. Jockey is also registered for use on canola for similar purposes and changes to current withholding periods for canola are not proposed at this time.
