Join FMC Technical Service Manager Bill Verbeten in central Iowa as he provides a late-season update on the performance of triple mode of action Adastrio™ fungicide against key corn diseases.

Biologicals aren’t new to agriculture, but new ways to use them alongside conventional tools are expanding in row crops.

Derived from naturally occurring sources, biologicals have unique plant protection qualities that complement traditional control methods. Biologicals do not eliminate the need for conventional crop protection products in row crops. Instead, they should be viewed as additional tools for the crop management toolkit that can help preserve the efficacy of conventional solutions.

As one of the fastest growing segments in agriculture, biologicals provide innovative solutions to help growers overcome current and future challenges.

FMC is supporting growers with a new generation of biologically sourced tools for crop protection in a unique way. Mathew Pye, biologicals subject matter expert for FMC, sees several factors that are driving the strategy behind the development of FMC biologicals.

Biologicals are fundamental assets for an integrated pest management (IPM) strategy. They offer new opportunities to mitigate the development of resistance, helping to improve soil health and enhance plant growth.  Growers looking for an alternative solution to add to their crop protection plan or a new way to help increase yields, might consider adding biological solutions into the mix.  

In the heart of the Corn Belt, tar spot* remains a significant concern for growers. In this testimonial video, discover how Adastrio^™ fungicide is helping keep fields clean of tar spot in regions that are affected the most. Hear from Kelly Garrett of Garrett Land & Cattle in Dunlap, Iowa, as he shares his experiences in managing tar spot and other diseases throughout the season.
