Syngenta Sets Higher Standard For Downy Mildew And Phytophthora Control With Segovis Fungicide

  • Provides long-lasting control of downy mildew and Phytophthora spp.
  • Powered by a new, systemic active ingredient and mode of action
  • Registered for use in greenhouses and nurseries
 
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has granted federal registration of new Segovis® fungicide from Syngenta. State registrations are pending. Segovis sets a higher standard for control of downy mildew and Phytophthora spp. on ornamentals crops, trees and shrubs in greenhouses and nurseries. 
 
“Its long-lasting protection and reliable performance make Segovis a critical tool for controlling downy mildew and Phytophthora spp.,” said Howard Jaekle, fungicide brand manager for Syngenta. “With a new active ingredient, growers can better manage resistance concerns by using Segovis in rotation programs, especially those focused on preventing impatiens downy mildew, which is still problematic for many operations.” 
 
Segovis contains oxathiapiprolin, a systemic fungicide that is effective at low use rates and offers these additional features: 
 
  • Four-hour restricted-entry interval (REI) and no signal word on the label.
  • Excellent rotation partner with fungicides like Subdue®, Heritage™ or Micora® for a comprehensive control solution for downy mildew and Phytophthora spp.
  • Labeled for use in greenhouses, shade and lath houses, outdoor nursery production, retail nurseries and commercial landscapes.
  • Can be applied as a foliar spray or drench.
“Segovis has shown excellent performance controlling both aerial and soil-borne Phytophthora as well as many diseases caused by downy mildew fungi,” said Nancy Rechcigl, field technical manager for Syngenta. “Its new mode of action and strong systemic movement allow Segovis to provide extended protection against these key diseases.”

Video: SaskAgToday.com Roundtable: China hits Canada with canola seed tariffs

The big story this week was China placing a 75.8 per cent anti-dumping duty on Canadian canola seed imports.

While China claims the duty is temporary - pending the conclusion of its anti-dumping investigation into Canadian canola next month - many are calling on the federal government to take the lead and get the tariffs removed. The SaskAgToday.com Roundtable discusses what farm groups, and politicians, have been saying.

Also, the panel highlights a grand opening of Grain Millers flax processing facility, limited harvest progress in Saskatchewan due to widespread rain, and the Grain Growers of Canada on its second annual Summer Tour.
