Syngenta Crop
Protection today announced that the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency has approved Inspire™ SB fungicide for use on
sugarbeets to control Cercospora leaf spot and powdery mildew.
Inspire SB, an Inspire™ brand product, contains the active
ingredient difenoconazole and provides preventive and curative
activity on sugarbeets. State registrations or specific crop
and/or pest uses may still be pending in certain states. Check
with your state regulatory agency to determine registration
status.
“Inspire SB, containing difenoconazole, shows real promise for
sugarbeet growers. It offers long-lasting disease protection and
is an excellent rotational partner," said David Laird, fungicide
brand manager for Syngenta.
Inspire SB will offer flexible application methods, low use
rates, superior rainfastness and translaminar movement to
provide superior control of Cercospora leaf spot and powdery
mildew in sugarbeets.
“Difenoconazole, used extensively for more than two decades in
96 countries, is one of the most powerful triazole fungicides
available,” said Laird. “It offers efficacy at low use rates,
promoting crop safety. Inspire SB brings years of proven
performance to sugarbeet growers in the United States.”
