Few crop protection tools have shaped modern agriculture as profoundly as Mancozeb. As a multi-site EBDC fungicide, it has protected millions of hectares of potatoes, vegetables, bananas, grapes, and cereals for over 50 years. Today, its future hangs in the balance: regulatory withdrawals in Europe and ongoing reviews elsewhere threaten to remove one of the most effective resistance-management tools from grower programs worldwide.

This webinar will make the science-backed case for why Mancozeb still matters. Leading plant pathologists will unpack data showing its unmatched ability to suppress late blight (Phytophthora infestans), downy mildew, and foliar diseases while safeguarding the performance of single-site fungicides such as QoIs and SDHIs. Agronomic modelers will present scenarios quantifying what happens when mancozeb is removed — including 20–30% higher fungicide program costs and yield losses of up to 10% in high-pressure seasons — and the cascading effects on farm profitability and global food prices.
