DISEASES CONTROLLED

A New Granular Fungicide for Disease Control in Turfgrass

Pillar™ G fungicide is a combination of pyraclostrobin (the active ingredient in Insignia® fungicide) and triticonazole (the active ingredient in Trinity® fungicide) on a granular carrier. This combination of two highly effective active ingredients delivers excellent disease control on numerous diseases problems that challenge turf managers today. These diseases include dollar spot, anthracnose, patch diseases (brown patch, large patch, take-all patch, summer patch), snow molds, leaf spots and many others.

While spray applications of fungicides are most common to control disease, many turf managers find that granular products can be very convenient to use. Pillar G can allow applications to take place 1) when conditions do not allow for spray equipment on a turf area (wet, snow cover); 2) when air temperatures do not allow for spraying due to the potential to freeze spray lines; 3) when only a spot treatment is required, saving on manpower and equipment resources; and 4) for applicators that prefer granular applications.

Pillar G is formulated on a clay granule that provides excellent spreading characteristics due to its density and uniform particle size. The active ingredient moves quickly off of the granule after irrigation or precipitation so that it can protect turfgrass soon after application.
