Sclerotinia Trials on Oilseed Rape: High Disease Pressure Secures Robust Efficacy Data!

When evaluating fungicide candidates, creating the ultimate test conditions is key to delivering clear, reliable results.

Our field team recently set up a targeted Sclerotinia stem rot (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum) trial on oilseed rape designed specifically for maximum disease expression:

🌱 Susceptible Variety: Sown with a variety highly sensitive to Sclerotinia.

📍 Optimal Location: Selected on a trial plot with a strong, proven history of the disease.

🌸 Targeted Application: Product application carried out precisely at flowering stage.

🌧️ Favorable Conditions: Thanks to a perfectly executed inoculation combined with the ideal, warm temperatures throughout May, disease development has been exceptional.

The first symptoms are already very pronounced and significantly ahead of schedule compared to previous years!

🔬 Why This Matters for Our Clients: In field bioevaluation, high and uniform disease pressure is the gold standard. It removes trial ambiguity and allows our scientific team to clearly differentiate product performance and validate fungicide efficacy under real-world, high-stress conditions.
