Xivana Prime provides Hunter Valley vineyard with new option for downy mildew control

The Hunter Valley’s Tintilla Estate Wines was the first vineyard in the world to purchase Xivana® Prime, a new foliar fungicide that offers excellent, reliable control of downy mildew - a major fungal disease of grapevines that can lead to severe crop loss.

Being a semi-systemic fungicide that has a low dose rate and when used as directed is soft on beneficials, Nutrien Ag Solutions Agronomist Nigel Wagstaffe says Xivana Prime will offer some significant advantages worldwide.
