 Jon Cressman, Product Lead, Fungicides, and Insecticides, Syngenta Canada says Miravis® Star has been shown to perform consistently even under high Sclerotinia disease pressure conditions.

Further field-scale trials are being conducted on farms across Western Canada throughout 2023.

In addition to superior yield performance, Miravis® Star offers greater flexibility, with an application window of 10 to 50 percent flowering.
