USA - BASF introduces Endura PRO fungicide to deliver enhanced yield performance exclusively for potato growers

Date:11-20-2024

BASF Agricultural Solutions is introducing Endura^® PRO fungicide, the newest broad-spectrum fungicide innovation for potato growers. Endura PRO fungicide provides long-lasting protection against some of the toughest diseases in potatoes, including early blight and white mold, helping farmers improve yield performance.

″BASF is committed to helping farmers carry out the Biggest Job on Earth by setting a new standard in potato disease control with Endura PRO fungicide,″ said Andrew Adams, BASF Agricultural Solutions Product Manager. ″Endura PRO fungicide combines the proven performance of boscalid, the active ingredient found in Endura fungicide, with Revysol^® fungicide. In addition to delivering enhanced yield performance, this combination gives growers an additional tool for resistance management.″

Growers continue to face challenges controlling early blight and white mold. Left unchecked, early blight and white mold can cause significant yield loss upward of 20%¹ and 50%², respectively.

"What stands out about Endura PRO is its consistent performance across years of research,″ said Curtis Rainbolt, BASF Technical Service Representative. ″The proof is in the numbers: in more than 70% of our trials, Endura PRO fungicide delivered enhanced yield performance versus the competition³.″ 

BASF’s multi-year field trials conducted across six sites in Idaho and Washington from 2022 to 2023 show Endura PRO fungicide delivered greater performance on early blight and white mold versus competitors, resulting in a measurable yield advantage.

Endura PRO fungicide is now available for purchase for the 2025 crop year.
