Syngenta’s Newest Fungicide Receives EPA Approval

Syngenta announced today that its newest succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) fungicide – Solatenol – has received registration from EPA and is now available in four product offerings, pending individual state registrations. Already a blockbuster performer for the company elsewhere in the world, Solatenol fungicide is now available for use by U.S. growers on a wide range of crops.

“Growers can expect a step change in disease control from all the products containing Solatenol, with the added benefit of crop enhancement in the row crop market,” said Steve Eury, fungicides product marketing lead for Syngenta. “These valuable new products demonstrate the continuing commitment Syngenta has to producing innovations that help growers maximize profits.”

Solatenol fungicide offers U.S. growers of a dozen major crops an outstanding new option for disease control through several features, including:

  • The most potent SDHI available with longer-lasting residual control.
  • Broad-spectrum control of profit-robbing foliar diseases and soil pathogens, such as rusts, Septoria, leaf spots, Southern stem rot (white mold), apple scab, powdery mildew, early blight and Rhizoctonia.
  • Flexible application timing and tank-mix compatibility for optimum crop safety and resistance management benefits.

Solatenol fungicide is now available for a wide range of crops including:

Corn, Soybeans and Wheat

In corn, soybeans and wheat, Solatenol will be marketed as Trivapro fungicide, a product that combines the power of three distinct active ingredients – Solatenol, azoxystrobin and propiconazole – to provide three dimensions of protection against diseases, such as gray leaf spot, stripe rust and Southern rust through:

  • Protection of new growth through xylem mobility.
  • Creation of a disease shield with translaminar movement.
  • Binding to the waxy layer for extended stay-put protection.

These three modes of action make Trivapro the longest-lasting and hardest-working fungicide available for corn, soybean and wheat growers. It is the first product for the U.S. market specifically designed with crop enhancement benefits to change the equation on weather variability. Trivapro protects plants from multiple sources of stress and competition by:

  • Slowing water loss to conserve soil moisture and increase water-use efficiency.
  • Maximizing the sun’s energy for extended grain/pod fill resulting in bigger ears, more kernels, stronger stalks and pods, reduced lodging, and fewer volunteer crops, for increased yield potential.

Trivapro provides improved, broad-spectrum control of many diseases, including:

  • In corn – common rust, Southern rust, Northern corn leaf blight and gray leaf spot.
  • In soybeans – Frogeye leafspot, brown spot, aerial web blight, and anthracnose.
  • In wheat – leaf rust, stripe rust, stem rust, Septoria, glume blotch, kernel blight and powdery mildew.

In recent field trials, disease incidence data illustrated on average 14.5% less gray leaf spot incidence in corn treated with Trivapro versus current standards and 3.3% less common rust incidence. Trials also consistently demonstrated increased yield potential versus current grower standards.
