Syngenta Canada launches Trivapro foliar fungicide with three-mode-of-action

Syngenta Canada Inc. recently announced the launch of Trivapro™, a new three-mode-of-action foliar fungicide that will help growers in Eastern Canada target a broad spectrum of major leaf diseases in corn, soybeans, and cereals.

Trivapro is the first foliar fungicide to feature three unique modes of action – azoxystrobin (Group 11), propiconazole (Group 3), and benzovindiflupyr (Group 7 SDHI), known as Solatenol® – with each mode of action providing different activity on labelled diseases, and also contributing to the product’s effectiveness as a resistance management tool.

“Growers wanting to realize the yield potential from their fields will benefit from the hard-working, long-lasting, broad-spectrum disease control that Trivapro delivers,” says Eric Phillips, Fungicides and Insecticides Product Lead, with Syngenta Canada.

Syngenta field trials have shown Trivapro offers long-lasting residual control of diseases. Solatenol, a key component in Trivapro, does not metabolize as quickly as other active ingredients. This, in combination with the gradual, translaminar movement of Trivapro, makes it ideal for tassel applications in corn, as the active ingredients remain in the plant canopy to provide extended leaf disease control.
The three active ingredients in Trivapro also allow for a wider window of application. Applied early, its long-lasting residual control helps ensure crops are protected late into the season. However, if applied after the onset of disease, the product’s curative activity helps halt further disease development and protect yield potential.

Phillips notes that Trivapro has demonstrated strong activity on the most challenging corn leaf diseases in Canada, such as northern corn leaf blight (NCLB), grey leaf spot (Cercospora zeae-maydis), and rust (Puccinia sorghi).

For wheat, oats and barley, Trivapro controls several major rusts, including leaf rust (Puccinia hordei), stem rust (P. graminis), stripe rust (P. striiformis), as well as Septoria leaf blotch (Septoria tritici), powdery mildew (Erysiphe graminis), and tan spot (Pyrenophora tritici-repentis).

In soybeans, Trivapro controls Septoria brown spot (Septoria glycines), Asian soybean rust (Phakopsora pachyrhizi), frogeye leaf spot (Cercospora sojina), and pod and stem blight (Diaporthe phaseolorum).

Trivapro will be available for purchase in Spring 2016.
