Syngeneta Launches New Seed Treatment Fungicide
USAgNet - 05/24/2017
Syngenta announced the launch of PLENARIS seed treatment fungicide for the control of downy mildew in sunflower. PLENARIS contains oxathiapiprolin, a novel chemistry with a new mode of action for control of fungal diseases caused by oomycetes.
Downy mildew is the key seedling disease of sunflower causing severe stunting, discoloration of the leaves and reduction in root growth. Infected seedlings do not form a flowering head and consequently severely reducing yield.
"Syngenta is the global leader in sunflower and with Seedcare portfolio innovations we are proud to support the efforts of breeders around the globe in their continuous fight against important seedling diseases and to help protect growers' yields and investments
in their crops," said Ioana Tudor, Syngenta Global Head of Seedcare.
PLENARIS complements the leading Syngenta downy mildew control portfolio consisting of APRON XL, DYNASTY and BION and will provide a unique ability to offer four different mode of actions to battle against this pathogen.
