Fight the Blight

Protect your pulses from increasing disease pressure.

Fight for your right to better protection.


Increasing disease pressure can cause severe damage to both quality and yield in pulse crops. In fact, mycosphaerella blight in peas and anthracnose in lentils can lead to yield losses of over 50%1. With a higher rate of the active ingredient Xemium®, Dyax® fungicide delivers more consistent and continuous control of mycosphaerella blight, anthracnose and other key diseases for early season disease control. Its multiple modes of effective action provide broad-spectrum disease control and resistance management. Dyax provides increased growth efficiency, better management of minor stress and greater yield potential1.

Cotegra® fungicide combines two leading active ingredients in a convenient liquid premix to deliver best in-class white mold control. Cotegra is now registered for early season diseases in pulses and provides industry-leading disease management, contributing to significant yield improvements.

The importance of quality disease management.

Left improperly managed, disease inoculum can build up in a field every season. As a result, the potential quality and yield losses can be devastating. Fortunately, Dyax equips growers with two powerful tools for effectively managing disease. And more.

Witness the power of Xemium.

Dyax contains Xemium, an innovative Group 7 active ingredient with unique mobility characteristics that better reach and control disease within the plant. Watch these short, informative videos to see it in action.


Clear choices. Easier decisions.

Take preventative action against disease in your pulse crops by choosing the fungicide that best fits the needs of your operation. Re-assess 10 to 14 days later to determine if a second application is required. In peas, one application is often enough. In lentils, a second application for white mold can be beneficial if the environmental is conducive to disease development.

1 In lentils: anthracnose, ascochyta blight. In field peas: mycosphaerella blight.
2 For moderate to high disease pressure, apply the high rate of Dyax fungicide.
3 Do not apply Dyax twice in one season. If a second application is required, apply Cotegra fungicide.
4 If Group 11 anthracnose is confirmed, apply Cotegra to control early-season diseases.
5 Cotegra will provide efficacy on early-season diseases such as anthracnose in lentils and mycosphaerella blight in field peas. Refer to label for more information.

Putting Dyax and Cotegra to the test.


Before you put them to the ultimate test in your fields, you’ll want to check how Dyax and Cotegra performed in field trials against other fungicides and untreated checks. Spoiler alert – both outperformed in disease control and yield results.
