Miravis Star Fungicide Available for Canola Sclerotinia Control

Syngenta has released a new fungicide, Miravis Star, for Sclerotinia protection and application flexibility in canola, a July 10 news release said.

The two ingredients in Mavis Star are Adepidyn, a Group 7 fungicide with powerful, long-lasting, systemic protection, and Fludioxonil, a Group 12 fungicide that’s one of the top-performing active ingredients against Sclerotinia, and offers effective, contact-based activity. The release noted by combining these ingredients it helps growers reduce their resistance risk.

“We know – above all else – yield performance is the key driver when deciding whether or not to apply a Sclerotinia fungicide,” Jon Cressman, product lead for fungicides and insecticides with Syngenta Canada, said in the release. “Miravis Star is designed for canola growers who aren’t satisfied with the status quo, want to embrace new solutions, and push their crop’s performance.”
