Cercospora

Sugarbeet growers now have a new weapon against the fungal disease that costs them the most money each year.

Ninety thousand acres needed replanting, but Northwest sugarbeets bounced back stronger than expected this growing season.

Corteva Agriscience's Verpixo uses an active ingredient called Adavelt to stop Cercospora from taking hold in sugarbeet crops, and it mixes well with other common crop protection products already in use.
