Syngenta UK has received UK approval for its new SDHI-based fungicide seed treatment, Vibrance Duo.
 
The approval, which covers use on seed of winter wheat, winter triticale, winter rye and spring oats, marks the first UK registration for the company’s all-new SDHI seed treatment active ingredient, sedaxane. Mark Bullen, seeds and seedcare campaign manager for Syngenta said that in Vibrance Duo, sedaxane is combined with seed treatment, fludioxonil, as found in Beret Gold.
 
“The key benefit of this new seed treatment technology is that trials have not only shown outstanding control of diseases that reduce crop establishment, but also improvements in crop rooting power,” said Mr Bullen.
 
A full launch of Vibrance Duo is planned over coming months.
