During the growing season of 2020, American farmers will have a new fungicide for many crops, including corn and soy.

One of the world's largest chemical concerns, BASF, announced that its fungicide, Revysol, has been registered with the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

According to the company, Revysol is the industry's first fungicide to use the active ingredient isoporopanolazole, which "provides fast and long-lasting disease control for a wide range of cultures and combinations of diseases."

In a statement to agriculture, BASF says Revysol has a unique molecular structure that allows it to be used in a variety of conformations, providing greater flexibility for controlling a wide range of diseases and controlling resistant strains.

For corn, its trademark is Veltyma fungicide. BASF staff say this will give excellent control over the underlying crop diseases.

For soybeans, its trademark is Revytek fungicide. In addition, Provysol fungicide will be available for processing potatoes, sugar beets and peanuts. And for almonds, grapes, seeds and stone fruits, the fungicide Cevya has been developed.
