Nufarm introducing new fungicide at virtual GIS

Nufarm will be introducing a new fungicide at the 2021 virtual Golf Industry Show.

Based on a supply agreement with Nichino America to supply pyraziflumid to the United States turf industry, Nufarm plans to launch as Decide Fungicide in 2022, pending EPA approval. Details about Decide Fungicide’s new mode of action for disease defense will be unveiled at GIS.

“As a leader in the turfgrass market, Nufarm is excited to bring this fungicide innovation forward,” said Dr. Jason Fausey, Nufarm Turf & Ornamentals technical services director. “Field trials indicate that Decide Fungicide will be a strong new active ingredient with a high level of application flexibility that controls some of the most challenging turfgrass diseases such as brown patch, dollar spot and anthracnose.”

Nufarm’s other virtual GIS plans include:

• Attendees can visit the booth to learn more about customizing a naturalized area rotation plan for their course. Sure Power, Millennium Ultra 2 and SureGuard SC are among the herbicides Nufarm will be spotlighting.
• Attendees can enter to win one of two Husqvarna Automowers. More details can be found in the Nufarm GIS booth and on Nufarm’s social media channels.
• Three EXCEL classes will be attending the 2021 show, participating in education, virtual networking opportunities, and the tradeshow. The EXCEL program, a partnership between Nufarm and the GCSAA, offers premium leadership training and development opportunities for participants, chosen annually.
