Syngenta Canada launches Apron Maxx with Intego co-pack targeting aphanomyces root rot in pulses 


Guelph, Ontario, Canada
January 5, 2016 

  • First co-pack from Syngenta to offer broad spectrum disease control and Aphanomyces root rot suppression 
  • Aphanomyces pressure on the rise 

Syngenta Canada Inc. is pleased to announce the launch of a new co-pack, Apron Maxx® with Intego™, for western Canadian pulse growers looking to control seed and soil-borne diseases including Fusarium, Pythium and Rhizoctonia and address growing concerns posed by Aphanomyces root rot. 

Aphanomyces (Aphanomyces euteiches) is a soil-borne root rot pathogen that primarily affects field peas, chickpeas, dry bean and lentils. The pathogen thrives in wet, waterlogged soils and produces spores that choke off root systems and reduce the plant’s ability to take up water and nutrients. Due to a number of factors, such as cool, wet weather over the past few years, researchers have indicated that Aphanomyces pressure has increased across the Prairies. 

“The Apron Maxx with Intego co-pack recognizes the growing concern around Aphanomyces among pulse growers,” explains Nathan Klages, Product Lead, Seedcare™ and Inoculants, with Syngenta Canada. “Through this new, convenient offering, we’re addressing the need for management tools for Aphanomyces together with a broad spectrum disease control program as part of a complete pulse Seedcare product.” 

Apron Maxx is a combination of Fludioxinil (Group 4) and Metalaxyl-M (Group 12) fungicides. These active ingredients control seed rot, pre-emergence damping off and post-emergence damping off caused by Fusarium, Pythium and Rhizoctonia. Apron Maxx also helps to control seed rot and seedling blight caused by seed-borne Botrytis. 

Intego (ethaboxam) is a Group 22 fungicide that also controls Pythium, while providing suppression of Aphanomyces root rot, as well as root rot caused by Phytophthora. 

Apron Maxx with Intego will be packaged as two 10 L jugs of Apron Maxx with two 605 mL containers of Intego. 

Apron Maxx with Intego will be available for sale for the 2016 planting season.
