Syngenta has announced that its succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) fungicide Solatenol (benzovindiflupyr) has received registration from Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA).
Benzovindiflupyr is reported to have a broad spectrum of activity against a number of foliar and soil dwelling pathogens, including rusts, Septoria spp., apple scab, powdery mildew, and Rhizoctoniaspp. In addition, the product reportedly benefits from efficacy at lower use rates compared to other SDHI fungicides, flexible application timing, tank-mix compatibility and the potential for use in resistance management strategies.
The active ingredient is expected to be available in Canada from the spring of 2016 in three new products: Aprovia, a solo formulation for use on pome fruits and blueberries; Elatus, with azoxystrobin for use on pulse crops such as lentils, chickpeas and field peas; and Trivapro with azoxystrobin and propiconazole for use on maize, soybeans and wheat.
