Syngenta's new fungicide line aimed at leaf spots, powdery mildew under review

Syngenta recently unveiled a new fungicide product line called Miravis that is under regulatory review and is expected to directly benefit crop growers.

Specifically, Miravis contains a new active ingredient, Adepidyn, which is currently under regulatory review.

As the first member of a new chemical group within the carboxamide class, Adepidyn marks the latest disease control effort from Syngenta aimed at battling some of the most destructive diseases growers encounter.

Upon regulatory approval, the Miravis fungicide family of products is expected to directly benefit growers by
providing the most activity among all chemical classes against leaf spots and powdery mildew.

“Not only will Adepidyn fungicide provide exceptional control of common yield and quality limiting diseases, but it will also deliver crop enhancement benefits in row crops that growers have seen with our other products,” Eric Tedford, technical product lead at Syngenta, said.

“This chemistry and its performance in field trials has been impressive and I think growers will be excited when they see the Miravis family of products in action at our Grow More Experience sites in 2017,” Tedrord said.

Specific formulation brand extensions for corn, soybeans, wheat, peanuts, potatoes, grapes and other crops, will be announced in 2017.
