- RANCONA® VPL protects against common diseases in peanuts and supports crop growth after germination
- Liquid formulation compliments existing RANCONA® VPD dry formulation, expanding UPL's offering to growers and treaters
UPL, a global provider of sustainable agricultural solutions, has added RANCONA® VPL to its North American crop protection portfolio. RANCONA® VPL is a liquid treatment package formulated to protect peanut seeds against common diseases.
RANCONA® VPL custom blend provides immediate contact and long-lasting systemic protection against common diseases in peanuts, including:
- Seed rot caused by seed-born Penicillium, Aspergillus and Rhizopus
- Damping off and seedling blight caused by Aspergillus, Rhizoctonia, Fusarium, Sclerotinia, and Pythium
- Seedling-stage crown rot caused by Aspergillus niger
- Early season stem rot and white mold caused by soil-born Sclerotinium rolfsii and black rot caused by soil-born Cylindrocladium parasiticum.
Alongside protection against disease, RANCONA® VPL also offers improved germination and plant health.
Thad Haes, UPL Seed and Soil Health marketing lead, said: “RANCONA® VPL gives peanut growers and the wider industry the same confidence they’ve come to expect from RANCONA® V PD and the entire RANCONA® portfolio. This innovative and convenient liquid custom blend reflects UPL’s commitment to investing in delivering solutions that support farmer profitability, crop health and environmental sustainability.”
RANCONA® VPL’s liquid formulation was built based on the successful introduction and standout performance of RANCONA® V PD dry formulation in 2019.
