Valent U.S.A. Corp. has received federal registration from the EPA for Presidio™ fungicide in leafy vegetables, cucurbits, fruiting vegetables, and grapes.
Presidio is targeted for vegetable and grape growers with crops threatened by downy mildews. In vegetables, it also controls late blight (Phytophthora infestans), and root, crown, and fruit rots caused by Phytophthora capsici.
Presidio's fast-acting chemistry has a novel mode of action and is in a new chemical class — giving growers a powerful tool to control tough diseases and ward off resistance issues. Presidio protects crops with preventative control and some curative reach back action to help protect quality and grower profits.
Unlike other fungicide products, Presidio has no known tank mix limitations with other fungicides or insecticides, allowing growers flexibility in their crop protection programs. Presidio can be shanked in soil, applied via sprinkler, or used as a foliar treatment.
