Bayer Crop Science Canada Launches EverGol Rise for Enhanced User Experience in Pulse Disease Control

Key Terms

ascochyta medical

Ascochyta is a group of fungi that cause leaf spots, stem blight and seed rot in many crops, reducing yields and crop quality. Investors should care because outbreaks can cut harvest sizes and raise costs for farmers, which affects revenues for seed producers, agrochemical makers and food companies—think of it like a common pest that can force producers to spend more on protection and deliver smaller, lower-quality output to the market.

fusarium spp. medical

Fusarium spp. are a group of closely related fungi that attack crops, can contaminate stored grain with toxic compounds, and in rare cases infect humans. Investors care because Fusarium outbreaks can sharply reduce harvests, force food and feed recalls, prompt regulatory action, and boost demand for crop protection, testing and remediation services — creating direct risks and opportunities across agricultural and food-related businesses.

rhizoctonia solani medical

Rhizoctonia solani is a soil-borne fungus that attacks roots, stems and tubers of many crops, causing wilting, rot and reduced yields. For investors, it matters because outbreaks can shrink harvests, raise production costs and boost demand for fungicides or resistant seeds, similar to how a pest infestation in a warehouse can reduce inventory and raise replacement spending for a business. Monitoring and control influence agricultural supply, prices and related company revenues.

CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Bayer Crop Science Canada announced the launch of EverGol® Rise, setting a new standard in pulse disease control. Combining four different active ingredients, EverGol Rise brings enhanced disease control to tough pathogens, like ascochyta, while also keeping the user ease of use top of mind.

“EverGol Rise will be transformational for Canadian farmers,” says Ashley Smith, Bayer Crop Science Product Manager. “Every minute on the farm is an opportunity, and the all-in-one formulation of EverGol Rise is an incredible advantage over Bayer’s previous pulse seed treatment (Trilex® EverGol®) through its unmatched ease of use experience and deeper colour pigmentation. I’m thrilled that the convenience of EverGol Rise will save valuable time for growers, while delivering a new level of disease control.”

Key highlights of EverGol Rise:

• Robust disease profile to control seed- and soil-borne diseases: EverGol Rise provides excellent full-spectrum pathogen control of key diseases in pulse crops. Its four active ingredients provide enhanced control of key seed- and soil-borne pathogens including Fusarium spp. and rhizoctonia solani as well as now providing control of ascochyta.
• Superior user experience: Bayer’s formulation of EverGol Rise focused on an improved user experience for farmers. There is no mixing required, as it’s a single formulation solution (100 ml/100 kg), rather than the two-part concentrated formulation of Trilex EverGol. Growers will also have visual coverage they can trust with an enhanced, deeper colorant. Lastly, it’s conveniently available in a 9 L jug and 27 L drum.

The spring seeding season comes and goes quickly, and Bayer is focused on getting growers in the field as soon as possible through the innovations of EverGol Rise.

“Disease is a constant challenge for pulse growers, and EverGol Rise has unparalleled control on seed-borne diseases,” says Bryan Bryson, Bayer Crop Science Marketing Portfolio Lead for Crop Protection in Western Canada. “Through providing both stronger pathogen control of diseases and an improved formulation that makes their pulse seed treatment easier than ever – I’m excited for the benefits this will bring farmers in the 2026 growing season.”

This spring, Bayer conducted over 90 pre-commercial EverGol Rise trials across Western Canada with agronomists, seed treaters and growers, including Stamp Seeds, a pedigreed seed farm and custom seed treater in Alberta. “EverGol Rise flowed nicely through the seed treaters, with great coverage on the seed," says Matt Stamp, of Stamp Seeds. "I like the concentration of EverGol Rise, and that I’m able to mix any water volume with it for application,” he explains.

EverGol Rise will be available for purchase in the 2026 growing season. Visit EverGolRise.ca more information.
