Sclerotinia (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum) has consistently been one of the most yield-threatening diseases in the Midwestern and Northern Great Plains regions of the United States. In 2024 alone, American soybean growers are estimated to have lost over 26.1 million bushels due to this fungus. To address this challenge, Zorina fungicide combines the excellent control effect of pyridine carboxamide against Sclerotinia with the long-lasting and broad-spectrum control capability of prothioconazole, providing growers with a reliable and comprehensive disease control solution. As the pressure from Sclerotinia in broadleaf crops continues to increase, merely inhibiting the disease is no longer sufficient to protect yield potential. To truly control Sclerotinia, farmers must take proactive measures to prevent it from taking root in the first place. Using Zorina fungicide can become a fundamental solution, helping to prevent Sclerotinia and other diseases from taking root and accumulating in ...
