The quality of both wine and table grapes is equally important. Features such as sugar content, acids and flavor are of utmost importance to both farmers and consumers. Factors affecting the quality of grapes include climatic conditions, soil quality, as well as breeding and selection of varieties according to the growing conditions.

Everything that is invested and done in the vineyard influences the final product. We at BASF know that there can be no compromise on quality and that crop protection is a key factor.

BASF offers grape growers a range of highly effective fungicides in which Revysol^® will play an integral role in the future. Revysol^® is a new superior tool for disease management. It delivers a level of powdery mildew control that exceeds what has been observed with triazole market standards. Revysol^® is an essential tool for resistance management in grapes.

In addition, Revysol^® provides very good control of black rot. 

Revysol^® was designed to meet high regulatory requirements. This compound ensures excellent miscibility and provides good crop selectivity. Revysol^® and its related product brands will be available to grape growers from 2020 growing season onwards depending on the region.

In modern fruit production the efficient control of diseases is needed to ensure high yields and quality production to maintain a profitable business for the growers. To obtain high quality fruits which meet the highest market standards generally requires laborious and intense practices. One of the most important components in fruit production is the effective control of key pathogens.

Failures in crop production like poor application timings, incorrect product and equipment selection can lead to irreversible yield and quality losses. Therefore, it is key to choose the best products for successful fruit production.

Within BASF`s portfolio, farmers can find many innovative and flexible solutions targeting multiple issues. Soon BASF`s offer will be enriched by Revysol^®.

Rice is an important staple food crop, playing a critical role in ensuring food security and alleviating poverty. In 2018, farmers grew rice on 160 million hectares (ha) worldwide, producing 486 million tons of milled rice. Nearly 90% of this production came from Asia.
 

Outstanding performance against sheath blight

Rice farmers lose in average 37 percent of their yield every year due to pests and diseases. Sheath blight and blast are the most economically significant diseases affecting the rice production worldwide. In recent years, sheath blight has increased in its importance especially in intensified production systems. Revysol^® is highly active against sheath blight securing yield and maximizing income.

Superior performance under preventative and curative conditions

Application timing is critical for optimal control of sheath blight. Ideally the disease should be monitored periodically for making successful disease management decision, which means, product applications as close as possible to the onset of disease. Most fungicides need to be applied before the disease occurs to be effective. Revysol^® has arrived to give farmers more flexibility of their fungicide applications. Due to its preventative (no visible symptoms) and curative (first symptoms visible) properties, Revysol^® can help to prevent the crop from severe damage even when sprayed at the beginning of infection.

Superb long-lasting activity

Numerous applications might incur in substantial economic losses. A fungicide with a feature to protect the crop for a long period of time is highly appreciated by farmers. With Revysol^®, rice farmers can maximize the return on investment due to its excellent long-lasting activity.

Soybeans are a valuable source of oil and protein and thus a significant component in human and animal nutrition. In 2017, the global planted area of soybeans reached approximately 125 million hectares (ha), producing in total over 330 million metric tons of soybeans – and the trend is rising.

The Americas are by far the largest producer, accounting for almost 90 percent of global soy production. Every year, American soybean farmers face significant yield losses due to diseases which not only cause a decrease in the quantity of the produced grain, but also on its quality. In the United States, responsible for more than 40 percent of soybean production, frogeye leaf spot and target spot are among the most important soybean diseases, accounting for 30 percent of reported yield losses.
