The aim of our research was to evaluate the performance of a new active ingredient, fenpicoxamid, from picolinamide group, in control of wheat pathogens. Trials were carried out in experimental fields located in Buzău county, with foreign wheat genotype and in Neamț county with Romanian wheat genotype. In both experimental fields was detected attack by Septoria spp. that causes wheat septoria, Puccinia recondita, pathogen responsible for brown rust, and Blumeria graminis, powdery mildew pathogen. The control scheme included treatments with a.i. from SDHI, Strobilurins, Triazoles, Picolinamides and their mixtures. Treatment with 50 g/l fenpicoxamid + 100 g/l prothioconazole performed the best with the highest efficacy in control of pathogens monitored in the experimental fields. Efficacy in septoria control was over 90% in both locations. Efficacy in control of brown rust was 89.6% in Buzau experimental field and 90.1% in Neamț experimental field and control of powdery mildew was 78.8% in Buzău county while in Neamț county was 83.1%.
