WILMINGTON, Del., Feb. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Corteva
Agriscience today announces Haviza™ active as the brand name for
the newest fungicide to come from its robust innovation pipeline.
The active ingredient will offer South American farmers another
tool for controlling Asian soybean rust and other fungal diseases.
Corteva anticipates launching Haviza in Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Bolivia beginning in 2027, pending applicable
regulatory reviews.
Haviza is the third generation of the novel picolinamide
fungicide discovered by Corteva, following Inatreq™ active,
a naturally derived fungicide for controlling Septoria in
cereals and bananas, and Adavelt™ active, a fungicide anticipated
to launch next year, pending applicable regulatory approvals.
Picolinamide fungicides are noted for their favorable regulatory,
toxicological and environmental profiles.
"Haviza active demonstrates Corteva Agriscience's commitment to
bringing farmers innovative, sustainable, geographically diverse
products from our robust pipeline," said Susanne Wasson, President – Crop Protection
Business Platform, Corteva Agriscience. "We are leveraging our
discovery of picolinamides and their novel target-site-of-action to
bring farmers another tool for managing potentially devastating
soybean fungal diseases."
Yield losses from Asian soybean rust can range from 10 to 80
percent in areas where the disease becomes established. Widespread
disease could impact farmers throughout South America, as Brazil leads global soybean production, and
Argentina, Paraguay and Bolivia rank in the top 10 for global
production.
"Haviza active has demonstrated outstanding control against
Asian soybean rust, making it a great addition to farmers' existing
disease management efforts," said Alejandro Muñoz, President of
Corteva Agriscience for Latin
America. "Additionally, the Haviza brand will enable farmers
to be confident that any products labeled with the mark possess the
benefits of Corteva Agriscience's exceptional research, development
and testing."
Haviza will be offered in mixtures primarily with fungicides
containing Onmira™ active, providing market-leading control of
Asian soybean rust and expanding control to key late-season
diseases.
