Aprovia Top Fungicide From Syngenta Now Registered for Use in California

Posted by Growing Produce Staff|October 22, 2020

Aprovia Top fungicide from Syngenta, a broad-spectrum disease control tool containing two highly efficacious active ingredients, recently was approved for use in California.

The unique fungicide delivers a potent combination to help growers manage resistance and control powdery mildew and other damaging diseases in grapes, cucurbits, fruiting vegetables, and garlic. The two active ingredients, Solatenol fungicide and difenoconazole offer dual modes of action to combat disease resistance and provide long-lasting residual control.

“Aprovia Top fits into existing disease control programs to optimize marketable yield and quality potential,” says Raj Iragavarapu, Syngenta Product Lead. “The two powerful chemistries in Aprovia Top help prevent spores from infecting crops early in the season and discourage disease spread as the season progresses.”

According to Syngenta, the product’s complementary chemistries can increase marketable yield potential and crop quality in grapes, cucurbits, fruiting vegetables, garlic, and other crops. Other benefits include:

• Excellent rain-fastness and application flexibility
• Extended residual control
• Systemic activity with even distribution throughout crop leaves
