PLENARIS™ is a new powerful technology from Syngenta Seedcare for downy mildew control in sunflowers.
PLENARIS™ uses the most advanced seed applied technology, and is the latest addition to the most comprehensive seed treatment portfolio in the industry. Syngenta Seedcare contributes to sustainable downy mildew resistance management which combines multiple modes of action with the best genetics. PLENARIS™ has a new mode of action and controls all races of the genetically variable pathogen, Plasmopara halstedii.
| Active ingredient | PLENARIS™ contains Oxathiapiprolin* which belongs to the novel chemical group of piperidinyl-thiazole—isoxazolines inhibiting the oxysterol binding homologue (FRAC Code List ©*2017) |
|---|---|
| Mode of action | When applied as a seed treatment, PLENARIS™ is released from the seed and dispersed into the surrounding soil which creates a protective zone around the seedling and emerging roots. Due to the high potency of PLENARIS™, the seedling is protected from the mobile zoospores of the downy mildew pathogen, and the source of primary infection is controlled. PLENARIS™ is systemic, and a small amount of active ingredient moves upwards in the stem via the xylem. This action protects against the early stages of secondary infection |
| Symptoms | Initially, symptoms of the primary infection are observed in seedling damping-off. If infected plants survive, they will appear stunted and chlorotic mottling is observed on the leaves. Primary infection contributes to economic loss due to the reduction in stand and the development of unproductive heads. If left untreated, the downy mildew will produce zoosporangia, which contributes to secondary infection and survival of the pathogen long-term |
| Targets | Downy mildew on sunflower |
