Now registered for use on ornamental crops including vegetable transplants

Contains two active ingredients, Solatenol® and azoxystrobin fungicides

Provides broad-spectrum control of the widest range of root and foliar diseases
GREENSBORO, N.C., USA – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has granted federal registration of new Mural™ fungicide from Syngenta for use on pot and bedding plants, foliage plants, perennials, trees, shrubs and a wide variety of vegetable transplants. State registrations are pending. Mural contains two active ingredients: Solatenol®, an advanced generation SDHI (succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor), and azoxystrobin, the proven active ingredient in Heritage™ fungicide.
“Mural is a convenient option for growers who need to manage disease across a wide variety of crops and growing environments,” said Laurie Riggs, ornamental market manager for Syngenta. “It provides higher performance at low use rates to deliver a robust, versatile solution for the most common and problematic root and foliar diseases.”
Mural offers growers added flexibility with the following features:
-
Labeled to control the widest range of ornamental diseases, including flower blights like Botrytis, leaf spots, powdery mildew and soilborne diseases such as Rhizoctonia and Fusarium.
-
Systemic and translaminar activity protects crops from root to leaf tip. Mural works its way up the plant into the foliage when applied as a drench to help protect and suppress the development of certain foliar diseases.
-
Labeled for use in greenhouses, shade houses, lath houses, outdoor nurseries and retail nurseries.
-
Can be applied as foliar spray, directed spray to the stem or base of plants, or by drench to containers.
“Solatenol is a new active ingredient developed by Syngenta that strongly binds to the plant’s waxy layer and slowly penetrates the tissue,” said Nancy Rechcigl, field technical manager for Syngenta. “This creates long-lasting disease control and, when combined with azoxystrobin, offers growers superior protection from root tips to leaves.”
Mural is formulated as a water-dispersible granule (WDG) using the advanced Pepite Technology process developed by Syngenta. This unique manufacturing method produces WDGs that dissolve immediately in water, providing convenience and efficiency for growers.
