ADAMA Ltd. announced the launch of Avaste, a new broad-spectrum T2 fungicide for cereal growers across Europe, that delivers a new standard of efficacy, control, and long-lasting protection against a broad spectrum of diseases
Avastel combines two trusted Active Ingredients ? a carboxamide (SDHI) with triazole (DMI) ? for outstanding control of Septoria, Brown Rust, Yellow Rust, Net Blotch, and other diseases in various cereals. It's powered by ADAMA's unique Asorbita Formulation Technology for better uptake and faster migration within the leaf tissue, ensuring increased resistance to washout and excellent retention that mitigates weather uncertainty around spray times. With Avastel, European farmers who are under pressure to combat Septoria, Rust, and other key diseases can gain peace of mind. Avaste has powerful curative and long-term preventive effects against disease, resulting in a stronger flag leaf which is crucial for maximizing yields. In field trials, Avaste brought better protection against Septoria and increased yields, compared with competing products. Avastel is a broad label fungicide that is suitable for use in crops such as wheat, barley, rye, and triticale. It is part of ADAMA's new European cereal fungicide portfolio which began rolling out in 2023.
