Growing table grapes with confidence
With ever evolving challenges in the competitive table grape industry, it’s reassuring to know that Syngenta continue to look at disease control program with our current fungicide portfolio to help meet the needs of these tireless growers.
At Syngenta’s Learning Centre in Euston NSW, Syngenta was able to demonstrate the strength of its portfolio in challenging conditions.
Key to the programs at the site was MIRAVIS® Prime fungicide, which is registered for control of botrytis grey mould and powdery mildew in grapes; being table grapes, wine grapes (domestic consumption) and grapes for dried fruit production.
MIRAVIS® Prime fungicide attacks fungi at four development stages, in different parts of the plant and halts spore germination and controls early stages of fungal development. “For best results, apply MIRAVIS® Prime up to 80% capfall before wet events and ensure thorough coverage” advised Syngenta Technical Services Lead for Horticulture Dr Brandy Rawnsley.
“Throughout all of our trials of MIRAVIS® Prime, the results it produced were unparalleled by anything else we’ve seen,” Brandy said.
Mr Adams recently seized the opportunity to assess the efficacy these new products at the Syngenta Learning Centre in Euston, with an inspection of the different treatments within the trial including proven performer MIRAVIS® Prime fungicide.
“This was one of the better product demonstrations I’ve been to recently; the Syngenta Learning Centre days are professional, informative and visibly provide the learning that agronomists like myself are seeking. I will be highly recommending that my colleagues participate in future Syngenta Learning Centre days.
“It’s one thing to read the literature, but it’s always better to see these products in action for yourself. There was always a Syngenta rep close by to engage in discussion and to answer questions and queries.”
Mr Adams said Syngenta is known and respected for research and development of new product introductions, helping to make the adoption of new products and incorporation into a spray program an easier decision.
“Syngenta have a fantastic pipeline of innovative products hitting the market that [growers] can trust to deliver results. This is backed up by a strong team of technical advisors who are a fantastic agronomic resource,” said Mr Adams.
