SAN Agrow Marks Major U.S. Milestone with California Registration of DURALEV Fungicide
SAN Agrow has announced that its innovative new product DURALEV, a biological fungicide and bactericide, is now registered for use in California ‒ marking a major milestone in the product’s U.S. launch. With this approval, DURALEV is now registered in 15 states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Michigan, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington, with additional registrations underway.
The California approval offers growers in one of the nation’s most diverse specialty crop markets a new disease management solution, and underscores SAN Agrow’s ongoing focus on providing effective, science-driven tools.
“California’s diverse specialty crop industry represents a vital segment for innovation,” said Jared P. Jensen, PhD, U.S. Technical Services Manager at SAN Agrow. “With DURALEV, we’re helping growers elevate their crops’ defenses through multiple modes of action, streamlined integration, and dependable disease protection.”
A Preventive, Systemic Approach to Disease Management
DURALEV is a systemic resistance inducer designed for preventive protection against plant diseases. Applied ahead of disease pressure, it activates crops’ natural defense mechanisms so plants can better withstand future bacterial and fungal attacks.
By incorporating DURALEV early in disease management programs and reapplying periodically, growers can maintain consistent protection and reduce the risk of disease establishment.
Broad-Spectrum Protection and Program Flexibility
DURALEV provides broad-spectrum protection against key bacterial and fungal diseases, including Powdery mildew, Downy mildew, Botrytis, and Alternaria. Its expansive label covers all major crop groups, offering growers unmatched versatility in program development.
The product’s easy-to-use formulation features broad tank mix compatibility and fits seamlessly into both conventional and organic production systems. Residue free prevention, combined with an excellent crop and worker safety profile, helps growers meet the practical and regulatory needs of modern fungicide programs.
A Three Way Approach to Fungicide Programs
The DURALEV registration strengthens SAN Agrow’s integrated fungicide portfolio, providing three complementary modes of action for comprehensive disease management:
- GARGOIL® a contact kill for insects, mite and disease control
- BOTECTOR® a biological fungicide that forms a protective barrier
- DURALEV® a systemic defense booster that activates plant resistance
Together, these products empower growers to build robust, resistance-conscious programs tailored to their crops, production systems, and local disease pressures.
