Multisite technology is essential for efficient soybean management against fungi

The segment of multisite fungicides for soybeans has proven to be an important ally for farmers in the effective management of the complex of fungal diseases that harm the crop, thus allowing the crop to reach its maximum productive potential – with greater quality and profitability.

"The adoption of multisite fungicides – a concept created by UPL – has increased considerably in recent soybean harvests and the trend is for it to grow more and more, given its effectiveness against the spread of fungi that cause various diseases, such as leaf spot. target, anthracnose, cercospora and powdery mildew, in addition to the already known and feared Asian rust", highlights the portfolio solutions and innovation manager at UPL Brasil, Luciano Zanotto.

Zanotto explains that multisite technology is made up of the simultaneous action of different active ingredients at different points in the fungi's metabolism. "This technology considerably reduces the possibility of diseases creating resistance to pesticides, as well as being effective in the face of specific mutations that fungi may suffer in the environment", informs the UPL agronomist.

Faced with the constant challenges that fungi pose to Brazilian agriculture, UPL has dedicated itself to research and development of new solutions to further enhance the productive results of soybean crops. The company is preparing to announce to the Brazilian market, soon, a new multisite product, composed of a unique combination of active ingredients.

"This innovation comes to help farmers protect their crops in the next harvest. In addition to Asian rust – a disease with the potential to cause losses of up to 120 million tons of soybeans in the country –, the new technology will act against target spots, anthracnose, cercospora and powdery mildew", informs the manager of UPL Brasil.

"UPL's new solution will contribute to obtaining maximum soybean yield, with practicality, application flexibility and suitable use for different moments of the cultivation cycle. Another benefit is its exclusive green effect: the technology will result in greener and more healthy, increasing the productivity of soybean crops", concludes Luciano Zanotto.
