BASF announces EPA approval of Zorina fungicide

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC, October 14, 2025 – Zorina^™ fungicide has received U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) registration and is now approved for use, subject to state approvals.

White mold (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum) is consistently one of the most yield-limiting diseases across the Midwest and Northern Plains. In 2024 alone, U.S. soybean farmers experienced an estimated loss of more than 26.1 million bushels due to the disease[1]. Designed to tackle today’s toughest disease challenges, Zorina fungicide combines the proven white mold performance of Endura^® fungicide with the long-lasting, broad-spectrum control of Revysol^® fungicide. Together, they help deliver reliable disease protection across soybeans, canola and dry beans, helping growers maximize yield potential with a single, powerful solution.

“BASF is committed to helping farmers doing the Biggest Job on Earth overcome yield barriers, and white mold is one of the most yield-limiting diseases in row crops across the Midwest and Northern Plains,” said Erick Garcia, Senior Product Manager at BASF Agricultural Solutions. “Zorina fungicide is designed to provide specialized white mold control that's going to help give farmers strong performance and extended residual activity for coverage against other yield-limiting foliar diseases.”

As pressure from white mold continues to rise in broadleaf row crops, settling for disease suppression is not enough to protect yield potential. To truly control white mold, farmers must be proactive in preventing it from taking hold in the first place. Using Zorina fungicide can be a foundational solution to help prevent white mold and other diseases from taking hold and accumulating in fields, preserving yield potential.

For optimal white mold control, apply Zorina fungicide preventively at full bloom when soybean, dry bean and canola crops are most susceptible to infection by Sclerotinia ascospores: R2 growth stage in soybean and dry bean, and 30 to 50 percent bloom in canola.
