EPA Approval
Zorina fungicide has received registration from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and is now approved for use, pending state approvals. This fungicide is designed to address significant disease challenges in agriculture.
White Mold Impact
White mold, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is a major yield-limiting disease in the Midwest and Northern Plains. In 2024, U.S. soybean farmers faced an estimated loss of over 26.1 million bushels due to this disease.
Fungicide Composition
Zorina combines the white mold performance of Endura fungicide with the broad-spectrum control of Revysol fungicide. This combination aims to provide reliable disease protection for soybeans, canola, and dry beans, enhancing yield potential.
Application Guidelines
For optimal control of white mold, Zorina should be applied preventively at full bloom when crops are most susceptible to infection. This corresponds to the R2 growth stage in soybean and dry bean, and 30 to 50 percent bloom in canola.
