Syngenta Receives EPA Registration For Solatenol Fungicide
September 1, 2015 Syngenta has received EPA registration for its newest succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) fungicide – Solatenol. For use on a wide range of crops, the product is available in four product offerings, pending individual state registrations.
In fruits and vegetables the fungicide will be offered as Aprovia and Aprovia Top, respectively. In potatoes it will be known as Elatus, which is a combination of Solatenol fungicide and azoxystrobin.
Solatenol fungicide offers U.S. growers of a dozen major crops a 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:
Apples, Grapes and Pears
Solatenol will be offered to growers as Aprovia® fungicide in apples, grapes and pears. Aprovia:
• Provides a step change in apple scab control versus current standards
• Tank mixes well with other products
• Exhibits no russeting
• Allows flexible application timing
• Can be used at low rates
• Offers a convenient solo formulation
Aprovia provides control of apple scab, powdery mildew, fly speck and sooty blotch.
Vegetables
In fruiting vegetables and cucurbits, Syngenta will sell Aprovia® Top fungicide, a product combining Solatenol fungicide and difenoconazole, one of the leading triazoles in the world. Aprovia Top helps maximize yield potential and crop quality by:
• Providing the long-lasting residual control that growers demand via its rainfastness and ability to move throughout sprayed leaves, and
• Acting as a resistance management option combining two powerful modes of action to help manage disease resistance
Key diseases controlled by Aprovia Top include:
• In cucurbits – powdery mildew and gummy stem blight
• In tomatoes – Septoria, Alternaria, anthracnose and powdery mildew
Potatoes
Elatus will also be sold as an in-furrow product for improved disease control in potatoes. Both Solatenol fungicide and azoxystrobin are very active against Rhizoctonia species, providing excellent disease control and optimizing yield and quality, resulting in:
• Uniform crop stand
• Enhanced crop health
• Optimized tuber size and quality distribution
Row Crops
Also for use on corn, soybeans and wheat, Solatenol will be marketed as Trivapro™ fungicide, a product that combines three distinct active ingredients – Solatenol, azoxystrobin and propiconazole.
