Canola growers will likely welcome DuPont’s Vertisan as a tool for sclerotinia control. It treats what is on the plant’s surface as well as down below, which makes this Group 7 product unique because it will hang around for later infections. It will also work for ascochyta in pulse crops.

Bayer has registered the seed treatment Prosper EverGo with three fungicidal active ingredients: metalaxyl, trifloxystrobin and penflufen. The latter is a Group 7 that is effective on rhizoctonia solani, replacing carbathiin in the former Prosper product.
It is also effective on pythium, fusarium root and seedling rots and is effective on insects such as flea beetles because of the clothianidin that is in the mix. It is for canola and mustard crops.

Syngenta has registered a novel seed treatment under the name Vibrance. The pyrazole carboxamide chemistry is part of a class of fungicides called SDHI inhibitors that are effective on rhizoctonia.

The sedaxane fungicide is packaged as Cruiser Maxx Vibrance for cereals with insect protection, as Vibrance XL for cereals needing disease protection, Helix Vibrance for canola needing insect protection and Cruiser Maxx Vibrance Beans for soybeans needing insect coverage.
The sedaxane also adds a vigour effect to the crop.
