This study conducted 30 experiments at 25 representative locations in Brazil, covering 11 fungicide products. The experimental results showed that the triple mixture fungicide not only achieved an average control rate of 72.8% for corn leaf spot, but also performed well in improving productivity maintenance, reaching 43.5%; compared with the widely used dual active ingredient products (flufenazole + pyraclostrobin) on the market, it increased control efficiency by 17.4% and productivity maintenance by 13%.
Established in 2022, RFT is a network of 52 public and private research centers dedicated to promoting research and technological development in the agricultural sector. This study not only made an important contribution to the modernization of fungicide combinations, but also demonstrated RFT's firm commitment to the modernization of the agricultural sector.
According to Kynetec Brazil, the fungicide market for summer and second-season corn in Brazil has grown from 561 million reais in 2014-15 to 2.83 billion reais in 2022-23. Among them, mixtures composed of triazoles and methoxyacrylates accounted for 55% of the market, and formamides accounted for 25%. Meanwhile, protective fungicides accounted for only 7% of the market share, with benzimidazoles and triazoles each accounting for 4%.
