The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recently granted label registration to Exteris Stressgard from Bayer Environmental Science.
A succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor fungicide that combines fluopyram with trifloxystrobin, Exteris Stressgard features contact and systemic modes of action to offer preventive and curative disease control and plant health benefits in one package.
It is labeled for control of a host of diseases, including dollar spot, brown patch and leaf spot. It also is effective at knocking back the disease-enhancing effects of guttation.
The addition of Stressgard also improves plant health and visual turf quality.
Each 2.5-gallon container, applied at a rate of 1.5-6 ounces per 1,000 square feet, treats up to 1.25-5 acres of turf.
