Learn with Andy Leader – Corteva Global Biology Leader, Inatreq™ active
In our first video of the series, Andy Leader talks us through the discovery and development of Inatreq active. From its unique manufacturing process to how it is applied on the field, Andy reveals how Corteva Agriscience created a new active to help farmers combat Septoria while maintaining high yields.
Topics covered:
- How did Corteva Agriscience make Inatreq active work?
- How Inatreq active accumulates in leaves as UK-2A.
- The result of glasshouse trials when Inatreq active is compared to other commonly-used fungicides.
- How Inatreq works when it’s applied by a grower.
By the end of this video, you will have a greater understanding of:
- How a complex manufacturing process produces the biological active UK-2A which is then converted to Inatreq active by a single chemical modification post-fermentation.
- How Inatreq active is able to convert back to UK-2A in plants and fungi after crop application, which is vital since UK2A is 93% more effective in controlling disease than Inatreq active.
- How, once applied, Inatreq active accumulates in the leaf’s waxes, providing a reservoir for the formulation to drip feed into the plant, providing excellent long-term protection.
