Want more potent disease protection?

Solatenol®, an active ingredient in Trivapro™ and Elatus® fungicides, is an SDHI with a different mode of action than triazole and strobilurin products on the market.

Solatenol binds to the waxy layer of the leaf, preventing the plant from metabolizing it as quickly as competitor fungicides for longer residual disease control. It also has a stronger affinity to fungal pathogen receptor sites than competitors, resulting in higher potency and improved disease control. » SEE HOW SOLATENOL WORKS

No payoff for early season fungicide on corn

A new study out of the University of Guelph Ridgetown Campus suggests there may be little benefit to early-season fungicide/herbicide combinations. The data suggests the level of disease pressure in the early stages isn’t enough to justify the fungicide, and the likelihood for economic returns increase when fungicides are applied at silking – a key stage for ear mould to develop on corn. » Learn more
