VAYANTIS®
Fungicides
VAYANTIS® is a new, systemic fungicide seed treatment developed to protect corn, soybean, canola, oilseed rape and cereal seedlings from the most important damping off disease caused by Pythium spp. It is a completely new mode of action and therefore a very valuable resistance breaker.
VAYANTIS® is a new, systemic fungicide seed treatment developed to protect corn, soybean, canola, oilseed rape and cereal seedlings from the most important damping off disease caused by Pythium spp. In soybeans it also provides excellent control of root and stem rot caused by Phytophthora sojae. It contains picarbutrazox, a novel compound from a novel chemistry class called tetrazoyloximes. The precise mode of action is still under investigation but novel compared to the current available oomycete chemistries. It has no known cross resistance to any other oomycete fungicide compounds and will play a key role in broadening integrated pest management strategies through multiple, effective modes of action.
| Active Ingredient |
VAYANTIS® contains picarbutrazox which belongs to the novel chemical class of tetrazoyloximes |
|---|---|
| Mode of action |
VAYANTIS® (picarbutrazox) belongs to chemical group tetrazoyloxime. It has a new mode of action, but it is unknown and has not been confirmed completely. It is hypothesized that picarbutrazox blocks the phosphatidylcholine pathway, which affects the biosynthesis of phospholipids. This leads to leaky cells and disruption of the normal functioning of the pathogen and affects the cell membrane and cell organelles. |
| Portfolio Fit | Enhances and complements the performance of APRON® XL (MEFENOXAM™ technology), DYNASTY® (AMISTAR®), MAXIM® XL (fludioxonil + MEFENOXAM™ technology), MAXIM® Quattro (fludioxonil + thiabendazole + AMISTAR® + MEFENOXAM™ technology), VIBRANCE® Cinco (MAXIM® Quattro + sedaxane) and many others |
| Targets | Damping off and seed decay diseases caused by many different species of Pythium; root and stem rot in soybeans caused by Phytophthora sojae |
| Symptoms | Seed and seedling rotting prior to emergence Die off of seedlings post-emergence Reduced root system Root and stem rot |
| Main crops | Corn, soybeans, canola and oilseed rape, cereal and others |
| Geography | VAYANTIS® will be registered globally to facilitate movement of treated seeds |
| Date of first launch | H1 2021 in US followed by Canada H2 2021 |
| Advantages and Main Benefits |
VAYANTIS® provides broadest spectrum of control against all relevant Pythium species, controls Pythium spp. and Phytophthora sojae in soybeans Novel mode of action with no cross resistance to other oomycete products, Supports early planting and conservation tillage, can be easily combined with other products, VAYANTIS® allows for planting flexibility, provides strong early establishment of the crop and protection to high value seeds |
