Stressgard Formulation Technology
Stressgard® Formulation Technology – proven results and peace of mind when you need it most.
Envu’s portfolio of fungicides made with Stressgard® Formulation Technology (FT) has recently expanded to four products with the introduction of Exteris Stressgard®. We felt it was timely to provide some updated information about how to get the best results from Stressgard FT, provide some insight on each of the four products and clarify exactly why Stressgard products can be trusted to deliver proven results and peace of mind when you need it most.
What makes Envu’s Stressgard FT fungicides unique?
- Unique combination of active ingredients, inert ingredients and Envu’s advanced formulation technology
- Proven in independent university trials to give outstanding disease control while alleviating plant stresses, ultimately improving turf quality, density, colour and playability.
How does a program containing Envu’s Stressgard FT fungicides help you sustain turf health during summer stress:
- Control diseases at the highest level.
- Increase chlorophyll production in the plant.
- Increase photosynthesis leading to improved root growth and turf density.
- Filter out the harmful UV radiation.
- Reduces oxidative stress.
- Build the plant’s own defence capability.
- Excellent turf safety – you can be confident to apply even when conditions are challenging and turf is under stress.
How often should I apply products containing Stressgard FT in a rotational disease management program?
- Application on a regular frequency will ensure you get the maximum benefits.
- Applications are best started leading up to the stress period.
- Early in the season with reduced stress the application can have a wider interval (e.g. every 3 weeks).
- As stress increases it may become necessary to shorten the application interval (e.g. every 2 weeks).
- Applications on a weekly cycle are done in high pressure periods by some golf courses. These are safe on the turfgrass and we do see positive benefits.
What are the Stressgard FT fungicides?
With the recent introduction of Exteris Stressgard the fourth product in the Stressgard FT portfolio, it has never been easier to develop a disease control program that can cater to your specific disease pressures and budget.
