US EPA has granted registration approval for the new fungicide from DuPont Crop Protection, Fontelis. With the active ingredient penthiopyrad, Fontelis is designed to provide growers with protection from fungal diseases and excellent crop safety with increased application flexibility.

"Fontelis allows growers to improve both the quantity and the quality of crops such as apples, pears, stone fruit, vegetables, and peanuts, when faced with a wide range of economically impactful diseases and unexpected challenges,” said John Chrosniak, regional director, North America, DuPont Crop Protection. “This new fungicide is another example of how DuPont Crop Protection is using market-driven science to help provide nutritious, bountiful food to help feed the growing global population.”

According to DuPont, Fontelis delivers broader-spectrum coverage for fast-acting and long-lasting protection that’s preventive and curative. Effective at low use rates, growers are given the option to use a labeled rate that best fits their target crop and disease concerns.

By offering a new active ingredient, the product is designed to control difficult diseases such as Botrytis, powdery mildew, leaf spot, and Rhizoctonia. Research has shown that Fontelis helps reduce disease incidence, and as a result, increases yields and provides higher-quality produce, compared to other fungicide programs.
