Download PDF Revysol has a chemistry that gives it many useful properties in the field. CPM finds out how this may translate into more spraying opportunities and reliable performance. Chemistry that will bring control back to the grower. By Lucy de la Pasture When the team from BASF reviewed the results from the first trials of Revysol (mefentrifluconazole), even they were surprised, according to Dieter Strobel, responsible for the company’s technical market development for cereal fungicides in Europe. “We saw Revysol was giving stunning efficacy, even better than we’d expected and far superior to other chemistry. The advantage it was showing grew over time due to the continued erosion of efficacy in the older azoles,” he comments. “In high disease pressure situations, the strength of Revysol was particularly noticeable. Where conventional products were struggling, it continued to provide control of septoria.” In total more than 1,000 field trials were carried out using Revysol throughout Europe and by summarizing all the data BASF were able to link aspects of its performance directly to some of the new azole’s chemical properties and its clever formulation. “Revysol has very low solubility, so it was a real challenge to our chemists to formulate a…
