The major chemical companies have been busy creating new fungicides to help growers control diseases in their major crops. Here?s a peek at a couple of the more interesting ones.

BASF recently introduced Twinline Fungicide for broad-spectrum disease control in wheat, oats and barley. As the name implies, Twinline contains two popular fungicide modes of action, a strobilurin (Group 11) and a triazole (Group 3). When applied before disease symptoms appear, Twinline should effectively control virtually all the common leaf diseases such as Septoria, Tan Spot, Powdery Mildew, and Rusts. The advantage to a broad-spectrum product like Twinline is that you don?t have to be a disease expert, since it will control all the major leaf diseases you are likely to encounter. However, it will not control Fusarium head blight which occurs later in the season. Twinline represents an alternative to Bayer?s popular Stratego Fungicide which also contains the same two modes of action, although Bayer uses different chemicals to achieve this. Either of these products provide growers with the tools to get the job done.
