Headline
Group 11
Headline® is an innovative, broad-spectrum fungicide that delivers a high level of disease control and plant health.
- When your plants are not challenged by disease, they can divert more energy into yield.
- Headline fungicide delivers a new level of disease control in dry beans, soybeans, corn, cereals, potatoes and sugar beets.

Benefits of Headline
Unprecedented Control of Key Disease
- The formulation and chemical properties of Headline fungicide allow it to bind tightly to the waxy cuticle when applied to the leaf’s upper surface.
- The systemic properties also allow Headline to move through the leaf and control disease on the lower surface of the leaf.
- This unique activity enables Headline to protect both sides of the leaf regardless of the side it is applied to, delivering dual-sided protection.
- Once applied, Headline stops spore germination, preventing spores from infecting plant tissue.
- By interfering with fungal cell respiration and the production of energy, Headline fungicide also causes fungi to stop growing and die.
Product Info & Application Guide
When to Apply
- When you apply Headline preventively, you get the best control and the greatest return out of your fungicide investment.
- Headline should be used pre-infection to control disease in a broad range of crops including corn, soybeans, cereal and potatoes. Diseases include Ascochyta, anthracnose, rust, powdery mildew, Mycosphaerella blight, Early blight and Late blight.
- Do not apply Headline more than twice in a growing season.
- Apply a second time 10 - 14 days later if disease persists or if weather conditions are favorable for disease development.
Dry Beans
- In general, applications at the beginning of flowering give the best yield protection, while later applications give the best seed pod protection.
- Apply before first flower if disease sets in early. Otherwise, wait until mid- to late- flowering.
Soybeans
- Canadian research trials indicate that, in the absence of Asian soybean rust, application of Headline at the early pod stage (R2 – R3 growth stage) results in the highest yields.
- It is important to note that infection of untreated leaves can occur earlier if conditions are favorable for disease development.
Corn
- For optimal effect, Headline must penetrate the canopy.
- Best time is in the pre-tassel to silking stage.
Potatoes
- Begin Headline application before disease symptoms appear.
- Use higher rates of Headline, shorter spray intervals and/or tank-mixes under heavy disease pressure.
- To optimize the plant health benefits of Headline, apply within the first 3 sprays at tuber initiation.
- Based on disease conditions, an optional 2nd application should occur at early bulking.
How Much to Apply
- Headline is formulated as a 250 g/L emulsifiable concentrate (EC) that mixes quickly in the spray tank, uniformly dispersing the active ingredient throughout the spray solution.
- You may make two applications of Headline each growing season.
- Do not apply Headline more than twice in a growing season.
Dry Beans, Soybeans and Corn (sweet, field and seed corn)
- Each 6.5 L jug of Headline contains enough fungicide to treat approximately 40 acres.
Potatoes
- Each 6.5 L jug of Headline contains enough fungicide to treat 24 - 36 acres.
Water Volume
- Apply Headline with a minimum of 15 imperial gallons of water per acre by ground, or 5 imperial gallons of water per acre by air.
Research Information – Increasing water volume will improve control, especially with later applications where there are heavy crop canopies.
