Special Report
DuPont registering 2 new fungicides
Wayne Schumacher, New Technology and Traits Manager for DuPont Crop Protection told Brownfield Ag News that more and more growers are using fungicides today for a yield boost or yield protection for corn and soybeans.
DuPont is registering 2 new fungicides in 2011 that will be available for use in 2012. Aproach will be registered for both corn and soybeans. Schumacher said this fungicide represents a whole new generation, so when farmers use Aproach, they’ll have a wider window of application. This fungicide has both preventative and curative activities. Schumacher said Aproach is the first fungicide registered for the control of soybean white mold.
The second fungicide DuPont is introducing is Vertisan, which will be utilized in wheat production.
DuPont will be demonstrating Aproach and Vertisan at a number of locations in 2011. Schumacher encourages farmers to come out and look at the difference these products can make.
