Heritage G fungicide from Syngenta Professional Products has received registration from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for use on turf, including golf courses, sod farms, athletic fields, residential lawns, commercial lawns and others. Heritage G, featuring the carrier DG-Lite, is a systemic strobilurin fungicide in a granular formulation that controls more than 21 diseases during a 28-day window.
Heritage G has been tested and proven effective against many turf diseases including brown patch, red thread, Pythium, Anthracnose, gray leaf spot, snow mold, take-all patch, leaf spot, summer patch and necrotic ring spot. The fungicide has the same efficacy as the sprayable versions, Heritage WG and Heritage TL.
“With the introduction of Heritage G, Syngenta fulfills a need for end-users to have a high performance granular option in their fungicide program,” said Dave Ravel, turf market lead for Syngenta Professional Products.
Additionally, it offers lawn care operators another granular product to treat the most common pests and diseases.
Other benefits include:
- A root absorption method that helps reduce accumulation of the product granules on grass leaf blades.
- A granular formulation that allows maintenance with a fungicide application program even when weather conditions prohibit spraying or when smaller spot treatments are more convenient.
- High solubility of the DG-Lite carrier allows the active ingredient to quickly and thoroughly reach the leaves.
- The DG-Lite carrier virtually eliminates granule pickup into mower clippings baskets, product residue on shoes or golf balls and granule wash-away during heavy rains.
- Uptake by the roots, crown and xylem - systemic movement allows the product to reach new growth.
“With the DG-Lite carrier, Heritage G will start to disperse under minimal water requirements, even a heavy dew,” said Bob Goglia, turf market manager for Syngenta Professional Products.
