New fungicide for sclerotinia control on the way for 2024

Syngenta Canada has launched a new fungicide for sclerotinia control in Canola that will be commercially available in Western Canada for the 2024 growing season.

 Jon Cressman, Product Lead, Fungicides, and Insecticides, Syngenta Canada says Miravis® Star has been shown to perform consistently even under high Sclerotinia disease pressure conditions.

In a series of small plot trials, Miravis® Star demonstrated a 23.7% yield advantage over untreated at the standard rate of 0.4 L/ac.1

Further field-scale trials are being conducted on farms across Western Canada throughout 2023.

In addition to superior yield performance, Miravis® Star offers greater flexibility, with an application window of 10 to 50 percent flowering.

You don't need to grow up on a farm to build a career in Canadian agriculture. Robyn grew up in Richmond, Ontario - not on a farm, but in a community shaped by them.

Now she works at the intersection of policy, innovation, and the people who grow our food. Her drive? Making sure the right people understand what Canadian agriculture needs to thrive.

Her message to the next generation: "Agriculture today is full of possibilities - science, technology, business, communications, and policy. You're helping grow the food we eat, and it's hard to think of many things more impactful than that."
