Video: On the Ground with FMC: Adastrio Fungicide

On the Ground with FMC, Brownfield Reporter Erin Anderson talks with Southern Indiana growers Jeff Sailor and Andy Lowry about their experiences using Adastrio® fungicide and its role in their crop management plans.

After participating in spray drone trials, Jeff found that Adastrio stood out among the products tested. As harvest approaches, he remains optimistic about the product’s performance and its role in helping protect yield potential.

Andy Lowry discusses how a successful trial led him to use Adastrio across his entire farm. He highlights the product’s disease control and coverage, particularly against early gray leaf spot and southern rust. Andy also points to visible differences in crop health between fields treated with Adastrio and those left untreated.
