Protecting tomatoes against one of the most damaging pathogens
ADEPIDYN® technology blocks the spores of Alternaria solani or early blight which can cause up to 40% loss of the tomato crop if left untreated
Farmers need the safest, simplest sustainable crop protection products, which can be used across multiple crops and against many different diseases.
ADEPIDYN® technology (the active ingredient in the MIRAVIS™ brand) is a next-generation fungicide based on a unique molecule which does exactly that.It is potent, long-lasting and has a low application rate, and replaces many less effective conventional products.
ADEPIDYN® technology is registered in countries across the Americas, Asia and Africa, including Argentina, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States. The European (EU) registration process is currently ongoing.
A new generation of fungicide improving yield quality
ADEPIDYN® technology (trademark for the active ingredient pydiflumetofen) is a revolutionary broad spectrum fungicide that delivers a new standard in long-lasting crop protection. It belongs to a new chemical group, N-methoxy-(phenyl-ethyl)-pyrazole-carboxamide, considered to be the next generation fungicide, due to its unique molecular structure and related properties.
It protects against a number of diseases in cereals, providing excellent performance against Fusarium head blight, and a step-change in the control of leaf spots, including Septoria. It also protects corn, soybean, peanuts, vegetables, potatoes, grapes, tomatoes and fruit crops against a number of pathogens including leaf spots, powdery mildew, Botrytis and Sclerotinia.
It increases yields even in difficult growing conditions, and significantly contributes to improved safety with its low application rates.
ADEPIDYN® technology makes crops more efficient by delivering excellent field performance when it counts most, thanks to its versatility under difficult conditions. This unique carboxamide, also reduces the level of mycotoxin contamination in wheat and barley, significantly contributing to improved safety for food and feed.
Safe for people, sustainable for the environment
ADEPIDYN® technology fully meets stringent global policies for crop protection products, which require a high level of health and environmental protection. It has an excellent crop safety profile whether used on its own, in pre-mixes or in tank-mixes.
It can replace less environmentally friendly compounds, which are being removed from the market for regulatory reasons, and old technology that has become less effective due to disease resistance.
Rainfastness and duration of control
It’s unique characteristics include balanced distribution in plants and outstanding rainfastness. It binds quickly and strongly to the plant's wax layer and then slowly penetrates into the plant tissue.
Outstanding rainfastness means there is less run-off and no need for further ‘catch-up’ sprays after rain. Slow and gradual movement from the wax into the plant tissue results in long-lasting disease control and reduces the need for additional applications.

How the product keeps potato crops free of early blight
Where MIRAVIS® was used, the blocks [of crops] stayed clean of early blight, so I am certainly happy with the performance. It did the job I expected.
