Bayer's Delaro™ fungicide ready to work for growers in 2018

Bayer’s new Delaro™ fungicide for corn and soybeans was put to the test by growers this past season in 500 field trials across 20 states and passed with flying colors by providing broad-spectrum disease control, dual mode of action residual and improved plant health.

“Disease pressure was inconsistent across the country this year, meaning some growers were caught unprepared,” said Thorsten Schwindt, Bayer corn and soybean fungicides product manager. “Growers need a tool that controls the worst yield robbing diseases and helps them get the most out of their corn hybrids and soybean varieties.”

Randy Myers, fungicides portfolio manager, explained that the extended performance growers see from Delaro is a result of both its triazole and strobilurin components working through the entire application interval to provide better performance and manage resistance. “We designed Delaro to be different from what is currently in the marketplace,” said Myers. “We now have residual activity all the way through the spring interval.”

Delaro has received U.S. EPA label approval and will be available for the upcoming season.
