Septoria in lowbush blueberries
June 15, 2022

Chlorothalonil was once a key component of wild blueberry production. Depending on your processor and their export markets, Bravo® ZNC fungicide applications may not be permitted.
Without broad-spectrum tools like Bravo ZNC, leaf diseases are creeping up in lowbush blueberries. Septoria is still one of the leading causes of defoliation and stem infection in lowbush blueberries.
That’s where Miravis® Neo fungicide comes in. It contains ADEPIDYN® technology, a new active ingredient for blueberries.
When applied at 0.3 L/acre, Miravis® Neo provides long-lasting control of rust and suppression of Valdensinia, in addition to suppression of Septoria.
Like Quilt® fungicide, Miravis® Neo should be applied at the first sign of disease in the sprout year.
Can you use Miravis® Neo?
Interested in trying Miravis Neo in your blueberry crop? Before applying, check in with your packer or reach out to your local Syngenta horticulture specialist.
Always read and follow label directions. Miravis® Neo, refers to Miravis® Neo 300SE. ADEPIDYN®, Bravo®, Miravis®, Quilt® and the Syngenta logo are trademarks of a Syngenta Group Company.
