Preventative Spring Fungicide Applications

Spring is almost here! Which means it is time to get the sprayer out of the barn to calibrate and change out your nozzles. Fortunately, ProGro can help supply you with any variety of Greenleaf or Teejet nozzles you will need. After you blow the dust off the sprayer, you can start filling it up with a variety of essential fungicide and foliar fertilizers for spring disease prevention. 

We have three new fungicides this spring to help prevent take all patch and other soil-targeted diseases. Pinpoint™, our new strobi from NuFarm, will help control take all patch and also knock down dollar spot populations. ArmorTech® Rotator, our new fluazinam (Secure) contact made by NuFarm, will help reduce dollar spot populations and clean up any pink snow mold from spring. Finally, Exteris® from Bayer, our new SDHI partnered with Compass® and Stressgard®, will help knock down dollar spot populations, clean up pink snow mold and prevent cool-season brown patch.

Fungicides also will need to be partnered with some foliar fertilizers and penetrant wetting agents to help complete the preventative, soil-targeted disease applications. Our Foliar-Pak Minors, Manganese and A.S Fusion (AMS) are all great liquid fertilizer choices to combine with your fungicides. Finally, adding in Hydro-Pak® Command, Dispatch® or Alypso™ Plus penetrant wetting agents, will get your fungicides and fertilizers where they need to be.

Have a great spring and contact your ProGro professional if you have any further questions!
