Quali-Pro adds Fosetyl-Al 80 fungicide

Quali-Pro has received EPA registration for Fosetyl-Al 80 WDG fungicide. The company says it is a true systemic fungicide that is rapidly absorbed and translocated in both the xylem and phloem to provide protection from tip to root.

"Quali-Pro is pleased to offer the industry a new, high quality formulation of Fosetyl-Al," said Russ Mitchell, Quali-Pro product director. "It not only provides preventative disease control of Pythium and Phytophthora diseases, it stimulates the disease defense mechanisms in plants which promotes vigor and uniform growth in ornamentals and turf."

Fostetyl is well known for its preventative control of Pythium and Phytophthora in ornamentals and bedding plants grown in field nursery, greenhouse, landscaping and conifer nursery situations, as well as downy mildew and fire blight in ornamentals. It also suppresses bacterial blight caused by certain pathovars of Xanthomonas campestris.

By enhancing and stimulating the natural defense mechanisms, Fosetyl-Al 80 WDG, when mixed with other fungicides such as QP Chlorothalonil or QP Ipro 2SE, protects turf from summer stress and winter decline. It also provides preventative control of Pythium diseases, including blight and root rot, and Yellow Tuft. Provides up to 30 days protection from one application.
