How DURALEV Works

Train. Protect. Perform.

DURALEV trains crops to defend themselves. Its active ingredient, Cerevisane®, mimics a pathogen attack to activate the plant’s natural immune system as a Systemic Resistance Inducer.

Systemic Resistance Inducer

Defense activation before disease pressure builds.

DURALEV helps prime specialty crops before disease pressure takes hold, supporting a stronger natural defense response against a wide range of fungal and bacterial pathogens.

  • Activates the plant’s natural immune response.
  • Supports preventive disease management.
  • Fits into organic and conventional crop programs.
01

Train

Cerevisane® mimics a pathogen signal, helping prepare the crop’s defense system before pressure escalates.

02

Protect

The primed plant is better positioned to respond to fungal and bacterial disease pressure as part of a preventive crop protection program.

03

Perform

DURALEV fits into rotations, tank mixes, and season-long programs without adding residue concerns.

Program fit: Use DURALEV preventively to help support season-long disease management while maintaining flexibility across spray programs.

Product Details

Product Specifications

DURALEV is built for preventive disease management, combining a biological fungicide and bactericide product profile with a Systemic Resistance Inducer mode of action.

How It Works

Elevate Your Crop’s Defenses Before Pressure Hits.

DURALEV trains crops to defend themselves before disease pressure takes hold. Its active ingredient — Cerevisane® — mimics a pathogen attack to activate the plant’s natural immune system as a Systemic Resistance Inducer.

This process primes specialty crops so they are better prepared to defend against a wide range of diseases.

  • Supports preventive disease management before pressure escalates.
  • Strengthens the plant’s natural defense response.
  • Fits organic and conventional crop programs.

  • Provides a strong foundation for organic disease programs.
03

Compatibility

  • Works with pest management and fertility programs.
  • Supports flexible tank-mix applications.
04

Residue

  • Residue-free with no MRL restrictions.
05

Performance

  • Supports early-season use.
  • Helps maintain low disease incidence over time.

Program fit: Use DURALEV preventively and reapply as needed to support consistent plant defense activation throughout the season.
