Through June and July, ADAMA will be hosting a series of regional field demonstrations to showcase its new Gilboa fungicide.
The ‘ADAMA in Action’ demonstration days are free to attend and will give visitors the chance to learn more about how Gilboa works. This is the trade name for flumetylsulforim, an imino-tosyl-pyrimidinone chemistry which has been classified as having a unique mode of action for cereals (FRAC Group 32).
This new mode of action inhibits fungal growth by blocking nucleic acid synthesis within pathogens, and as such works against a biochemical pathway that has never previously been targeted by cereal fungicides. Gilboa offers farmers an additional form of defence in the fight against crop diseases in cereals and OSR and a powerful tool for disease resistance management.
Gilboa will be the first DRSP (DNA/RNA Synthesis Proposed) mode of action in cereals and is currently progressing through the regulatory approval process, with product availability expected for the 2027 season.
ADAMA in Action trials sites are planned for Herefordshire, Nottinghamshire, Yorkshire, Norfolk, Wiltshire and Scotland
