Scientific Breakthroughs
The idea behind Adavelt™ active began with the discovery of a naturally occurring fungicide found in soil microbes that scientists dubbed UK-2A. From there, Corteva Agriscience set to work making improvements and ultimately bringing to market Inatreq™ active, a naturally derived fungicide for cereal and banana crops. Researchers at Corteva then saw even more potential and turned their attention to designing a product that could expand fungicide options for farmers. The result was Adavelt, a novel fungicide with a broad spectrum and excellent efficacy. Adavelt represents a breakthrough in fungicides that gives farmers more flexibility and outstanding defense against more than 20 diseases in more than 30 crops.
Unique Features of Adavelt™
- Broad spectrum -Adavelt™ active (florylpicoxamid) works on more than 30 crops including cereals, vines, fruits and vegetables. It protects both yield and quality of crops by controlling a wide range of fungal pathogens, including Septoria spp, powdery mildews, Botrytis spp, Anthracnose, Alternaria and Monilinia.
-
Preventive and curative-Adavelt prevents fungal spore germination on leaves, stopping diseases from establishing in a field. When used at early stages of disease, Adavelt can be curative, stopping fungal growth so plants can continue healthy development.
-
Brand-new mode of action-Adavelt works on a novel target site in fungal pathogens. Adavelt does not demonstrate any known cross-resistance with other widely used fungicides. This makes Adavelt an effective rotation partner in an Integrated Pest Management strategy and an excellent option to replace existing products that are losing effectiveness due to resistance.
Adavelt™ active is built on the discovery of Inatreq™ active, a natural origin fungicide developed by Corteva with proven effectiveness for many crops. Adavelt active (florylpicoxamid/FRAC Group 21) is the first broad-spectrum picolinamide fungicide for use against ascomycota pathogens in major crops grown worldwide. Adavelt active features a novel target site of action in many crops with no cross-resistance to other modes of action, and it has a strong fit in existing integrated pest management programs as a resistance management tool.
Adavelt™ active offers preventative properties against a wide range of diseases severely impacting yield, along with curative properties when used in the early stages of infection. By adding Adavelt active to disease management programs, farmers can simplify fungal control efforts and reduce resistance risks, while protecting the yield potential and quality of crops, both now and in future seasons.
