Farmers will have a new foliar fungicide, Corteva Forcivo, to include in their disease management plans for the 2026 season, pending registration from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Forcivo will feature three modes of action – flutriafol, azoxystrobin and fluindapyr – to address foliar diseases in corn and soybeans via overlapping preventive and curative activity.

Key diseases targeted include tar spot, southern rust and frogeye leaf spot, among others, according to Mike Eiberger, U.S. marketing leader for Corteva.

The fungicide will offer farmers these key benefits:

Triple-action foliar disease control. Forcivo fungicide will be available in a convenient premix that growers can apply at a use rate of 7 to 9 fluid ounces per acre. The multiple modes of action will help ensure that if a disease is less controlled by one key ingredient, others will help manage the threat, notes Eiberger in a press release.

Multiple row crop disease flexibility. In addition to addressing disease issues in corn and soybeans, Forcivo will provide broad-spectrum disease control in wheat, barley, sorghum and triticale.

Bolster plant health and yield potential. Forcivo will provide up to 30 days of residual activity to protect crops and maximize return on investment all the way through harvest – even from late-season, yield-robbing diseases – according to Eiberger.

Corteva reports farmers will be able to take advantage of the upfront savings with its TruChoice offer and save on their purchase of Forcivo fungicide by bundling it with other Corteva crop protection and seed products, such as herbicides, nitrogen stabilizers and Pioneer brand seed. With the TruChoice offer, farmers will be able to save money when funding a prepay account online or through a participating retailer, according to the press release.

Pending registration approvals, Forcivo fungicide will be available for growers to include in their 2026 disease management plans. To learn more about Forcivo fungicide, visit Corteva.us/Forcivo or contact a local Corteva representative.
