Dedicate® is an aqueous suspension concentrate containing 200g/L tebuconazole and 100g/L trifloxystrobin. The maximum individual dose is one litre/ha, with the maximum number of treatments listed as four per year.

The new label, with new MAPP number (MAPP 17003), specifies the use of Dedicate® for the

This process also requires the revocation of the old authorisation for Dedicate®, MAPP number 13612. Distributors are still allowed to supply the product through the distribution chain until September 30th 2015, and then end users have until September 30th 2016 to use up stocks or dispose of in line with UK legislation. During this time, if end users have stock with the old label and MAPP number, they are able to use this product in line with this new authorisation, as long as they have a copy of the current label.
