AMVAC has introduced Oximus fungicide, a preventive fungicide with systemic properties that provides broad-spectrum control of dollar spot and many other listed turf diseases. Oximus fungicide joins the AMVAC Four-Season Solutions portfolio of fungicides as an effective foundation for golf course rotation programs.
“Oximus fungicide contains two of the most successful fungicide active ingredients ever labeled for use on golf courses,” said Dr. Charles Silcox, product development manager for AMVAC. “It offers dual modes of action, and our field trials have shown that it’s effective against an extremely wide range of turfgrass diseases.”
In addition to dollar spot, Oximus fungicide effectively treats and prevents brown patch, anthracnose, Pythium blight and snow mold. Oximus can be applied to both cool- and warm-season turfgrasses, including bentgrasses, bluegrasses, fescues, ryegrasses, St. Augustinegrass, seashore paspalum, kikuyugrass and zoysiagrass.
“For best results, Oximus fungicide should be applied prior to disease development,” Silcox said. “Applications that use sufficient water volume to provide thorough and uniform coverage provide the most consistently effective disease control.”
