Corteva Agriscience today (September 12, 2025) announced the launch of Zorvec Entecta, a revolutionary new fungicide set to transform the cultivation of grapes and potatoes in India. Building on the globally successful Zorvec technology, this advanced solution offers growers protection against devastating diseases such as Downy Mildew (Plasmopara viticola) in grapes and Late Blight (Phytophthora infestans) in potatoes, resulting in healthier crops, higher yields, and superior quality produce.
Zorvec Entecta combines advanced chemistry with powerful performance. Its active ingredients provide strong, reliable control against oomycete plant diseases, offering growers unmatched consistency and long-lasting protection even under challenging climatic conditions. With industry-leading rain fastness, the fungicide remains effective just 20 minutes after application, safeguarding crops from wash-off and giving farmers confidence in their investment.
Thanks to its systemic mobility (xylem systemic), Zorvec Entecta protects new growth and emerging leaves, ensuring uniform coverage and robust defense across the plant. The product’s two synergistic active ingredients make it highly effective in managing disease resistance over time, while its favorable environmental profile reflects Corteva Agriscience’s commitment to sustainable agriculture.
For grape growers, Zorvec Entecta provides long-lasting protection against Downy Mildew, crucial for consistent disease management during key growth stages. Potato growers benefit from its strong control of Late Blight, ensuring a clean start to disease management programs even under severe pressure. Internal trials have confirmed its effectiveness in delivering complete, durable plant protection under challenging conditions.
Corteva Agriscience recommends specific crop management programs, including the sequential use of Zorvec Entecta with Curzate M8 (ZCZC), starting early in the crop’s development. This strategy ensures comprehensive protection, promotes healthy new foliage, and supports optimal berry and bunch development in grapes, ultimately enhancing marketable yields.
Zorvec is already a successful brand in other key agricultural markets globally, demonstrating its proven effectiveness and value to farmers worldwide. Corteva Agriscience will be rolling out Zorvec Entecta across regions in the coming months, bringing this transformative technology to more farmers.
