Feb 6, 2023ProBlad Verde fungicide now available throughout U.S.
ProBlad Verde fungicide will now be available to growers across the U.S. for use on a variety of crops, including stone fruit, caneberries, strawberries, pome fruits, grapes, almonds, leafy greens, herbs and tomatoes.
ProBlad, from pest control developer and marketer Sym-Agro, Visalia, Calif., previously was available in the western U.S. only. ProBlad Verde is a locally systemic, curative and preventative fungicide that is highly effective against a broad spectrum of fungal and bacterial pathogens, including powdery mildew, Botrytis and brown rot, according to a news release.
ProBlad Verde attacks all active disease life cycle stages, causing cell death within 24 hours and providing up to 13 days of residual control. This biofungicide features multi-site mode of action in a single active ingredient delivering disease control comparable to leading synthetics, according to the release.
ProBlad Verde is a flexible tool for growers because it is exempt from maximum residue limits (MRLs) restrictions and offers tank-mix compatibility, leading to superior disease management.
Years of trials and on-farm use demonstrate the strength of disease and yield protection that ProBlad Verde provides, according to the release.
“Growers who incorporate the unique, multi-site mode of action of ProBlad Verde in their disease management program have an excellent approach to manage against disease resistance and maximize crop marketability,” Bierma said in the release.
