This new in-furrow fungicide pushes past former limits by providing more than just early-season protection, and instead protects the plant throughout the entire season. This new tool? FMC’s Xyway in two formulations: Xyway 3D Fungicide and Xyway LFR.
“It provides inside-out protection before diseases emerge,” says FMC’s Bruce Stripling. The active ingredient is Flutiafol, a group three fungicide with demethylation inhibitors mode of action. It controls gray leaf spot and northern corn leaf blight.
Each formulation features systemic movement throughout the plant to deliver disease protection to the entire corn plant. It is effective for the entire season. FMC says it provides a 13 bu. advantage for northern corn leaf blight and 14 bu. advantage for gray leaf spot.
The Xyway 3D formulation uses the 3RIVE 3D application system to deliver in-furrow protection. It has an application rate of 11.8 fl. oz per acre based on 30” row spacing.
Xyway LFR is designed to mix with liquid fertilizers—the same liquid fertilizer ready (LFR) formulation used in FMC’s Capture LRF insecticide. It is a 15.2 fl. oz per acre rate based on 30” row spacing fungicide.
“We’re introducing this for 2021—both formulations,” says Gail Stratman with FMC. “We’re looking forward to getting this in the hands of customers as it provides high levels of protection.”
