Adama Agricultural Solutions Canada Ltd. is releasing Maxentis, a fungicide for lentil, canola, soybean and peas, a Jan. 9 news release said. Maxentis has Asorbital 2 Formulation Technology and is the first fungicide in Canada to combine prothioconazole and azoxystrobin.
“With this industry-leading disease protection in hand, for the first time Canadian growers have access to a fungicide that enables them to spray faster and more efficiently across multiple crops, and across multiple stages of plant growth and disease development,” Andre Barabach, fungicide product manager for Adama Canada, said in the release.
Field testing during the 2023 growing season across Canada showed Maxentis produced higher yields for lentils, canola, soybeans and pea crops. The release noted Maxentis also offers resistance management with multiple modes of action with complete control of Group 11-insensitive anthracnose in lentils.
Asorbital 2 Formulation Technology in Maxentis ensures more of the fungicide is absorbed into the plant faster for long-lasting protection, the release said. Systemic and translaminar movement created by the Asorbital 2 Formulation Technology allows the fungicide to spread across the entire plant, even when sprayed on top of dense canopies, creating longer lasting and more complete coverage.
