California Growers Get New Tool to Fight Plant Diseases
June 3, 2020 Miravis Prime fungicide – developed by Syngenta to deliver broad-spectrum disease control in grapes as well as other fruit and vegetable crops – is now registered for use in California.
The product, featuring an active ingredient combination of fludioxonil and Adepidyn technology, is designed to help growers recharge spray programs and maintain control of difficult plant diseases such as Botrytis and powdery mildew in grapes, early blight in potatoes, and powdery mildew in cucurbits.
According to Syngenta, Adepidyn technology needs fewer in-season applications to deliver long-lasting disease control and increase marketable yield potential.
Since Miravis Prime received registration from the EPA in 2018, growers report performance that enhanced their marketable yield and increased their earning potential.
“As we have introduced the Miravis brands in the U.S., what has stood out is how powerfully and consistently this family of brands performs, regardless of crop or geography,” says James Hadden, fungicide technical lead at Syngenta. “California specialty crop growers need what Miravis Prime can do for them.”
Standout product specs of Miravis Prime include:
- A visible plant health boost through protected photosynthetic capacity, long-lasting water-use efficiency and prolonged greening
- Heavy accumulation into the wax layer and translocation through the leaves for extended residual control
- Stable, even distribution on the leaf surface to put up multiple barriers against infection
- Flexibility to complement integrated pest management spray programs
- Long-lasting disease control that results in higher marketable yield potential and a more efficient harvest
