Syngenta launches new fungicide to combat severe soybean disease in Brazil
Soybean rust migrated from Africa to South America where it has affected several million hec-tares during the last two years. It can defoliate a crop in ten days and quickly lead to significant yield losses.
PRIORI® Xtra is highly effective in both preventing and curing soybean rust, as well as all other economically important soybean diseases. To further support its customers in controlling this important disease, Syngenta has put in place a comprehensive monitoring and alert system operating through a network of 140 agronomists.
"PRIORI® Xtra offers excellent control of an increasingly severe problem faced by our custom-ers. This innovative product, combined with the monitoring system, further strengthens our po-sition in the important soybean fungicide market in Brazil", said Jan Martin Suter, Global Head of Marketing, Syngenta Crop Protection.
