Vive Crop Protection has a new product for Cercospora leaf spot. Chief Technology Officer Doug Baumann says trials were conducted in multiple states last year for Phobos FC fungicide. It is the evolution of a chemistry to provide enhanced protection against Cercospora leaf spot. “What we’ve done is use our Allosperse technology to make the particles of active ingredient significantly smaller compared to the industry standard,” explained Baumann. “Also, the way the spray deposit dries on the leaves, specifically compared to Proline, is much better and gives us better bio-availability, faster activity and better recoverable sugar at the end.”
