BASF's Avelyo fungicide now registered in California

The chemical company's demethylation inhibitor fungicide has received registration in California.


BASF announced it has received California registration for Avelyo fungicide, a broad-spectrum disease control solution for greenhouse and nursery growers.

Avelyo fungicide provides control of key diseases including powdery mildews, leaf spots, scab and soilborne diseases caused by Cylindrocladium spp. and Thielaviopsis spp (also known as Berkeleyomyces spp.). This next-generation demethylation inhibitor (DMI) makes an exceptional rotation partner at any stage of the crop production cycle with no known injury on small plants or plants in flower.

Avelyo fungicide also offers long-lasting residual activity and outstanding rainfastness within just one hour, making it a great option for indoor facilities with overhead irrigation and outdoor nursery production where frequent rainfall is common.

Growers can learn more about Avelyo fungicide by contacting their local BASF representative and by visiting betterplants.basf.com.
