Vive Crop Protection introduced Phobos fungicide to provide enhanced Cercospora Leaf Spot protection. “It is showing better leaf coverage and it actually stays on the plant longer if you have a rain event,” said Vicki Dekkers, territory sales manager. “We’re able to make about 20 percent more of that product available with our technology.” Phobos uses patented nano-polymers for more uniform disease protection. “We’re the only ones in the market that have nano-technology to transform the original molecule into a new product that can do a better job.” Dekkers participated in the American Sugarbeet Growers Association annual meeting.
