Syngenta, a manufacturer of agrochemicals and seeds, has announced that its Miravis Prime fungicide to control a broad spectrum of diseases in grapes and other crops, is now registered for use in the US state of California.
Syngenta said that its Miravis Prime fungicide is a combination of fludioxonil and Adepidyn technology can support growers in the state to recharge their spray programmes while maintaining the effective control on difficult diseases such as Botrytis and powdery mildew in grapes, early blight in potatoes, and powdery mildew in cucurbits.
The company claims that its Adepidyn technology is needed to be applied only fewer times a season to deliver long-lasting disease control and increase marketable yield potential.
Syngenta fungicides product marketing lead Raj Iragavarapu said: “Speciality crop producers – particularly grape growers – need the power that Miravis Prime brings to the field and vineyard.
“With dual, highly efficacious active ingredients, Miravis Prime controls those difficult diseases that impact their marketable yield opportunity. The result: crops are cleaner and greener.”
Miravis Prime is reported to increase marketable yield and earning potential among growers
After receiving registration from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 2018, Miravis Prime is reported to have enhanced marketable yield and increased earning potential among US growers.
The active ingredients in Syngenta’s Miravis Prime are claimed to deliver on several levels, boosting crop performance including a boost in visible plant health, through protected photosynthetic capacity, long-lasting water-use efficiency and prolonged greening.
The fungicide also claims to heavy accumulation into wax layer and translocation through the leaves for extended residual control.
Furthermore, Miravis Prime offers an even distribution on the leaf surface, putting up multiple barriers against infections.
The fungicide offers flexibility to complement integrated pest management (IPM) spray programs and the disease control is claimed to be long-lasting, resulting in higher yield potential and efficient harvest.
Syngenta fungicide technical lead James Hadden said: “As we have introduced the Miravis brands in the United States, what has stood out is how powerfully and consistently this family of brands performs, regardless of crop or geography. California speciality crop growers need what Miravis Prime can do for them.”
