Environmental Science, a business unit of the Crop Science division of Bayer, announced that it will introduce Exteris Stressgard fungicide – the newest addition to the Stressgard Formulation Technology (FT) family of products – at the Golf Industry Show in Orlando. Exteris Stressgard combines fluopyram, a next-generation SDHI active ingredient for the golf course industry, with a proven QoI partner, trifloxystrobin, and unique formulation technology to introduce a more powerful tool for foliar disease management on fairways.
To help superintendents more effectively and efficiently manage tough and costly foliar diseases, Bayer combined fluopyram and trifloxystrobin with new Leaf-Cote Technology – a proprietary formulation enhancement that offers improved product retention on the leaf surface, leading to many customer benefits. Leaf-Cote Technology enables the product to stick to the leaf where it is needed most – at the site of fungal activity. It works in unison with Stressgard FT, which delivers several plant health benefits, including stress mitigation and improvements to turf color, quality and density.
“Exteris Stressgard offers excellent curative and preventative activity, primarily due to the new Leaf-Cote Technology,” said Laurence Mudge, Bayer Green Solutions Team manager. “It works particularly well as a foliar disease specialist because of this delivery system, which enables droplets to better adhere to the leaf tissue and then spread for optimal coverage.”
Key benefits of Exteris Stressgard include:
-- A new SDHI active ingredient (fluopyram) and proven QoI partner (trifloxystrobin), which when combined, offer preventative and curative control of tough foliar diseases, including dollar spot, brown patch, Microdochium patch and leaf spots
-- Enhanced leaf coverage and improved product retention on the leaf surface, which means fast activity and outstanding control
-- Fast dry time, which ensures swift rainfastness
-- Dew and frost mitigation properties under certain conditions that may offer labor efficiencies
-- Flexibility of application rates, timing and conditions that fit within current preventative and curative programs on fairways
“In addition to offering fast, broad-spectrum control both curatively and preventatively, Exteris Stressgard harnesses Stressgard FT and Leaf-Cote Technology to improve plants’ resilience under stress and maximize product retention on the leaf surface,” Mudge said.
Purchases from authorized agents begin March 1. To learn more about Exteris Stressgard, Golf Industry Show attendees can visit Bayer booth #1019. At the booth, GIS attendees can:
-- Assess product performance at the Bayer Living Turf Display, where they can observe root health and turf density benefits from Stressgard Formulation Technology in action
-- Speak with a member of the Bayer Green Solutions Team about specific challenges and how Exteris Stressgard could fit into a specific agronomic program
-- Secure product information, including application rates, mix partners and agronomic program recommendations
