UPL-Evolution.pngUPL presented at an online event, which AgroPages was invited to attend, its new solution against the complex of fungal diseases that attack soybeans.

The Evolution multisite fungicide combines three complementary active principles in its formulation: azoxystrobin, mancozeb and prothioconazole.

The manufacturer guarantees that Evolution is effective against five primary diseases that compromise the success of soy production. They are anthracnose (Colletotrichum truncatum), leaf blight (Cercospora kikuchii), target spot (Corynespora cassiicola), and powdery mildew (Microsphaera diffusa), in addition to the dreaded Asian rust (Phakopsora pachyrhizi), which alone can cause the loss of eight to every 10 bags of soy.

″Evolution is the result of a long research and development process. The product has already been tested in several different planting areas, which reinforces UPL's commitment to helping farmers produce more and more sustainably. After all, fungi are the main enemies in the chain. Without proper treatment, these productivity enemies can cause up to 80% of the oilseed crop losses,″ said Marcelo Figueira, Fungicide Manager at UPL Brasil.

"Considering the average productivity of the 2020/2021 crop, estimated at 58 bags per hectare, without effective control of phytosanitary problems, soy production could drop dramatically, between 9 and 46 sc/ha, depending on the disease and its intensity. Considering the average price of the bag, the potential for losses would be almost R$8,000 per hectare. Therefore, farmers must pay special attention to fungi,″ the manager of UPL Brasil said.

Evolution has multi-site technology, a concept created by UPL that offers simultaneous action of active ingredients at various points in the metabolism of fungi. This technology helps to reduce the possibility of diseases that resist pesticides considerably. Furthermore, it is an essential ally in the face of mutations that fungi can undergo.

″The new UPL fungicide will contribute to the protection and exploitation of maximum soybean yield, generating practicality and flexibility of application, with the indicated use for different moments of the cultivation cycle, providing greener and healthier plants, in addition to increasing the soybean quality. This includes ease of application, without a need for a tank mix, while maintaining high levels of control and productivity. These are Evolution's commitments,″ Figueira said in conclusion.
