Fungicides stand out in soybean trials

The fungi that attack soybean seeds were the focus of the Cooperative Network Trials for the 2024-25 crop season. Solutions such as Tiofanil® and Torino®, from Sipcam Nichino, showed high efficacy in controlling five harmful pathogens in areas of Goiás, Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso do Sul, Mato Grosso, Paraná, and Rio Grande do Sul. The results were presented at the 54th Brazilian Congress of Phytopathology, held in Lavras (MG).

According to Bruno Monção, marketing manager of the company, the fungicides achieved up to 93% control, surpassing most of the standard treatments. "The data placed the fungicides, overall, ahead of almost all the so-called standard treatments, compared," he comments. Tiofanil® FS is systemic and contact-based, based on chlorothalonil, with a broad spectrum of action, acting as a strategic tool to prevent significant losses in production. "It is a strategic tool, equipped with technology to prevent soybean contamination by fungi with the potential to transfer ...
