Posted by Dan Jacobs|8 April 2016

Arysta LifeScience North America plans to launch two new fungicide products for use on corn and soybean crops for the 2017 selling season. Tepera Plus Fungicide/Insecticide and Tepera Fungicide can help growers fight seed- and soil-borne diseases as well as insect pests.

“Tepera Plus and Tepera are easy-to-use products for corn and soybean growers to optimize crop performance,” said Arysta LifeScience marketing manager Deneen Sebastian. “During on-farm trials using the active ingredient fluoxastrobin in 2015, in-furrow applications in corn produced a yield increase of 14.3 bushels per acre on average, compared to the untreated control. We anticipate to fully commercialize and launch both these products into the 2017 selling season.”
