“Miravis Duo is a powerful, preventive product that combines Adepidyn technology and difenoconazole fungicide for persistent control of a broad spectrum of tree nut diseases,” Raj Iragavarapu, Commercial Product Lead for Fungicides at Syngenta, said. “It’s perfect for permanent crop growers, who know the health of their trees matters not just this year but for years to come.”

The active ingredients in Miravis Duo offer disease protection for tree nuts and stone fruit and enhance resistance management by employing different FRAC groups.

Difenoconazole, a fungicide in FRAC Group 3, is a foundational triazole that controls some of the most difficult-to-treat diseases. Adepidyn technology, a FRAC Group 7 fungicide, moves through the waxy layer of leaf tissue and creates a reservoir, making it consistently persistent and providing excellent duration of control, Syngenta said.

Miravis Duo is a member of the Syngenta Plant Performance product line, marking its ability to improve yield potential and tree health. All Plant Performance products add benefits to plant physiology and deliver proven disease management year after year, the company said.
