Canada - New horticulture crops now benefit from Bayer CropScience's Proline fungicide - New registration offers horticulture growers broad-spectrum disease protection against some of the most devastating crop diseases


Guelph, Ontario, Canada
May 22, 2014

Bayer CropScience Canada has announced the label expansion of Proline®, a trusted Group 3 fungicide that uses the proven active ingredient prothioconazole to provide broad-spectrum leaf disease protection. Proline is now registered to protect cucurbit vegetables, bushberries, low-growing berries excluding strawberries and small acreage grains.

Important especially for blueberry growers, Proline can now be applied to lowbush blueberries in both the sprout and fruiting years and to highbush blueberries for protection against septoria leaf spot, blueberry leaf rust, valdensinia leaf spot and monilinia blight. This systemic, foliar fungicide has demonstrated increased floral bud numbers and fruit yield over untreated blueberries. According to recent trial results, Proline increases yield in lowbush blueberries by 24 per cent in comparison to leading competitor products.

In cucurbits Proline provides systemic protection against fusarium wilt, gummy stem blight and powdery mildew.

“Proline has been used for years by canola and cereal growers and now protects against some of the most concerning diseases for horticultural crops,” said David Kikkert, Portfolio Manager, Horticulture, Bayer CropScience. “This foliar fungicide is a cost-effective tool that offers growers excellent disease control and provides a new mode of action in many horticulture crops.”
