Syngenta brings a fluazinam fungicide for white mould and late blight to Canada

Syngenta Canada has launched Kadexa SC, a new fungicide containing 500 grams per litre of fluazinam, for the 2027 growing season.

The product is labelled to control white mould in soybeans, dry beans and potatoes, late blight in potatoes, and fungal diseases of horticultural crops. Fluazinam is in Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC) Group 29 and works as a protectant, applied before disease develops, within integrated disease and resistance-management programmes.

Kadexa SC is a liquid with a flexible rate and timing window, and can be used alone, with compatible tank-mix partners or in rotation, subject to the label, according to Syngenta.

The launch changes the company's line-up in eastern Canada. A Kadexa SC and Quadris Bean co-pack will replace the Allegro and Quadris Bean co-pack for edible bean growers, and Kadexa SC will replace Allegro 500F. Allegro stays in the western Canada portfolio for 2027.

Janette Stewart, national horticulture marketing lead at Syngenta Canada, said the change brings fluazinam fully into the company's own portfolio and gives it more control over the long-term continuity of the formulation and label.
