# AZteroid FC 3.3 fungicide receives EPA approval

**FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE**

February 1, 2019 [Toronto, ON] – AZteroid® FC 3.3 fungicide recently received approval from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). AZteroid FC 3.3 is a new higher concentration formulation of the popular AZteroid FC fungicide from Vive Crop Protection.

Tony Zatylny, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Vive says, “Farmers who grow sugarbeets, potatoes, dry beans, alfalfa or corn are going to find that AZteroid FC 3.3 provides the same excellent disease control and mixability with liquid fertilizer as its predecessor. It’s simply a more concentrated formulation for added convenience.”

For both farmers and retailers, AZteroid FC 3.3 will take up less storage space, less transportation cost and fewer jugs to handle.

AZteroid FC 3.3 is double the concentration of AZteroid FC, meaning that application rates will be cut in half. Zatylny commented, “It will be very important for customers to know which product they have in their shed so the correct rate is used!”

Both AZteroid FC and AZteroid FC 3.3 contain the Allosperse® Delivery System. It uses nanotechnology to allow active ingredients to mix well with liquid fertilizer, other chemicals, micronutrients and hard water.

For 2019, AZteroid FC 3.3 will be available as state registrations progress. Farmers and retailers are encouraged to visit [www.ViveCrop.com](https://www.vivecrop.com) for the most up-to date listings.
