The product is waiting for EPA registration

Corteva is bringing a new fungicide product to market.

The manufacturer is launching Forcivo to help corn, soybean, wheat, barley, and other crop producers manage foliar diseases like northern corn leaf spot, stalk rot, white mold, and southern rust.

The product will be premixed and includes three modes of action:

Group 3 flutriafol
Group 7 fluindapyr
Group 11 azoxystrobin

This combination will help farmers protect their crops.

“Forcivo fungicide will give growers a powerful disease management tool that bolsters plant health, pushes yield potential and manages disease resistance,” Mike Eiberger, U.S. Marketing Leader, Corteva, said in a statement. “With the help of Forcivo fungicide, growers will be able to maximize their return on investment (ROI) and grow more yield potential.”

The formulation also provides up to 30-day residual activity for additional protection.

And its use rate of 7 to 9 fluid ounces per acre support cost savings, Eiberger said.

Forcivo still requires registration approval from the Environmental Protection Agency.

Once that occurs, Corteva expects the product to be available for farmers to include in crop management plans in 2026.

Video: Democratizing Gene Editing - Pairwise’s Vision for the Future of Agriculture

Pairwise has built its business around an idea that runs counter to how many companies approach innovation: make transformative technology easier to access.

In this Seed World interview, CEO Tom Adams discusses why broader access to gene editing could speed crop improvement, expand innovation opportunities and help agriculture address emerging challenges. He explains why Pairwise believes no single company can solve all of agriculture's problems alone—and why making advanced breeding technologies available to more organizations could accelerate progress across the industry.

The conversation explores how consumer trust influences technology adoption, why innovations like pitless cherries and seedless blackberries matter beyond convenience, and how future crop improvements could help address labor shortages, automation, harvest efficiency and other production challenges. Adams also shares his perspective on what the industry may be underestimating about the next wave of gene editing innovation.

Watch the full interview to hear why Pairwise believes agriculture is approaching an important inflection point for gene editing, and why the pace of innovation over the next decade could surprise the industry.

Topics Covered:

o Democratizing agricultural innovation

o Consumer trust and technology adoption

o The business case for sharing innovation

o Expanding innovation beyond major crops

o Next-generation breeding technologies
