Bayer Introduces EverGol Rise Seed Treatment for Enhanced Pulse Disease Control
Bayer Crop Science Canada has announced the launch of EverGol Rise, a next-generation seed treatment designed to improve disease control in pulse crops. The product combines four active ingredients to broaden the spectrum of protection, including control of ascochyta alongside Fusarium spp. and rhizoctonia solani.
“EverGol Rise will be transformational for Canadian farmers,” said Ashley Smith, Product Manager at Bayer Crop Science. “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 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.”
EverGol Rise: Expanded Disease Control Profile
The new formulation is designed to deliver full-spectrum protection against key seed- and soil-borne pathogens affecting pulse crops. According to Bayer, the inclusion of four active ingredients offers enhanced activity on challenging diseases, including ascochyta, which has been a persistent concern for growers across Western Canada.
Improved Usability and Application Features
A major focus of EverGol Rise is ease of use for farmers and seed treaters. The single-formulation product (100 mL/100 kg) does not require mixing, marking a shift from the previous two-part Trilex EverGol system. The product also includes a deeper colourant to support visual confirmation of seed coverage and is offered in 9 L jugs and 27 L drums.
“Disease is a constant challenge for pulse growers, and EverGol Rise has unparalleled control on seed-borne diseases,” said Bryan Bryson, Marketing Portfolio Lead for Crop Protection in Western Canada. “Through providing both stronger pathogen control 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.”
Positive Early Feedback From Field Trials
Bayer conducted over 90 pre-commercial trials across Western Canada during the 2025 season with seed treaters, growers, and agronomists. Early responses were positive.
“EverGol Rise flowed nicely through the seed treaters, with great coverage on the seed,” said Matt Stamp of Stamp Seeds in Alberta. “I like the concentration of EverGol Rise, and that I’m able to mix any water volume with it for application.”
Bayer's EverGol Rise Commercial Availability in 2026
Bayer confirmed that EverGol Rise will be available for purchase for the 2026 growing season, with additional product details accessible at EverGolRise.ca.
