In any given season, Southern soybean farmers will likely face intense disease pressure and environmental stress that can quickly erode yield potential. Warm temperatures and consistent moisture create ideal conditions for aggressive diseases like Cercospora leaf blight, Frogeye leaf spot and Septoria brown spot to take hold.
“Southern soybean farmers face significant disease pressure,” says Kim Tutor, Technical Marketing Manager for Row Crop Fungicides with BASF. “They have to manage through unpredictable weather conditions and growing fungicide resistance.”
With the continued spread of resistance to FRAC Group 11 and FRAC Group 1 fungicides, retailers face a growing challenge: helping farmers protect yield in an increasingly unforgiving disease environment. That’s where Revylok® fungicide comes in.
Powerful Performance Against Disease
Revylok fungicide combines two proven active ingredients, Revysol® (FRAC Group 3) and Xemium® (FRAC Group 7), in a formulation designed for rapid plant uptake paired with powerful residual.
“Revylok fungicide meets a critical need in the South by delivering strong, long-lasting disease control that holds up under hot, humid and unpredictable conditions,” says Tutor. “Its residual strength helps protect yield through the season.”
With activity across a broad spectrum of fungal pathogens, Revylok fungicide delivers consistent control of diseases that have developed resistance to FRAC Group 11 and FRAC Group 1 chemistries. Revylok fungicide provides both preventative and curative activity to help limit disease development and control existing infections.
Lock in ROI
Yield and return on investment drive every fungicide decision. Across multiple years, Revylok fungicide has delivered consistent performance on both fronts.
“Revylok has shown an 8.2 bu/A yield advantage over the untreated check1 and outperformed other fungicide brands by 2.4 bu/A,2” Tutor says.
That performance stems from agronomic strengths that make a difference in Southern production systems:
- Rapid uptake for fast-acting protection
- Strong rainfastness for reliable performance under variable rainfall
- Excellent residual activity during critical reproductive stages
Plant Performance
Disease control is only part of the equation. Revylok fungicide also supports soybean plant performance when applied at R2–R3 soybean growth stages. Applications during this window have been shown to enhance root growth and architecture, improving water access and heat tolerance.
“Stronger root systems help soybeans maintain productivity under environmental stress,” Tutor says. “That’s especially important when heat and moisture variability can challenge yield potential.”
A Reliable Tool for Retailers and Growers
As disease pressure intensifies and resistance continues to spread, dependable fungicide options are essential. Revylok fungicide delivers the disease control, plant performance and yield protection Southern soybean farmers demand — and the confidence retailers need when making recommendations.
Real Results Yield Challenge
The Real Results Yield Challenge helps retailers and farmers evaluate fungicide performance through on-farm, side-by-side comparisons. Farmers apply a BASF performance-driven fungicide, like Revylok fungicide, alongside an untreated or competitive treatment, then share in-season photos and harvest yield data.
“Whether you’ve used BASF products for years or are just considering them, the Real Results Yield Challenge invites growers to put performance to the test on their own acres,” says Tutor.
