Anthracnose, target spot, white mold and Asian rust are some of the major foliar diseases that cause considerable losses to Brazilian soybean crops.
To combat these diseases, Brazilian producers make several applications of chemical fungicides annually, and, at each cycle, the resistance of pathogens requires the development of new actives to control them.
To achieve greater efficiency, profitability and sustainably, producers have been investing more in integrated management and biopesticides to control diseases in crops.
According to Blink, over the past two years, the development of biological pesticides using high formulation technology has driven a 75% growth of this market in the country, rising from BRL946 million in 2019 to BRL1.79 billion in 2021.
