Questar™
Fungicide
The new and unique solution to flexible and robust cereal disease control.
Questar™ is a new fungicide for the control of Septoria tritici, brown rust and yellow rust in winter wheat, winter triticale, winter spelt and durum wheat.
Questar is broad-spectrum fungicide containing Fenpicoxamid, more commonly known as Inatreq™ active.
Inatreq active offers a new and unique site of action for curative and persistent protection against all Septoria strains. Using Corteva’s patented i-Q4 technology, it provides near 100% leaf coverage and is highly flexible in application, delivering robust, market-leading protection so you can secure your yield and the future of your farm.
Characteristics of Inatreq active:
- It is the first picolinamide to be registered in Ireland with a new site of action for broad spectrum disease control in cereals.
- It offers robust control of Septoria, including isolates resistant to other sites of action.
- It is an excellent broad-spectrum product as it also offers control of yellow and brown rust.
- Patented i-Q4 technology brings flexibility to applications by helping compensate for the spray settings such as the use of low drift nozzles.
Questar MUST always be used in a mixture with a partner product which has a different mode of action.

About Questar
Best Use Advice
- Questar™ may be used on all commercial varieties of winter crops of wheat, triticale, durum wheat and spelt wheat.
- Ideally apply at T2 to see maximum yield benefits but Questar could alternatively be applied at T1 if preferred.
- Apply at the recommended rate of 2L/ha.
- Questar will give the best results before the disease has become established in the crop.
- Rainfastness is 1 hour for Questar, this is mainly down to the patented innovative iQ-4 technology.
- The unique iQ-4 formulation empowers Questar and improves spray retention; spread; penetration and uptake.
- Questar must always be used in mixture with a product with a different mode of action at a dose that offers robust control.
