CADENCE® Fungicide

Insignia Fungicide

A Better Standard for Dollar Spot Control

CADENCE® fungicide works differently than anything else you’ve seen used to control dollar spot; it is a different class of fungicide for dollar spot control. CADENCE can effectively control dollar spot that has developed resistance to other fungicides.

  • Provides unprecedented dollar spot control when used preventatively (CADENCE First™).
  • Reduces Active Ingredient Load -
    Only 2.24 - 2.8 g a.i. / 100 m2 for IPM
  • Provides strong residual control -
    Controls dollar spot for 14-21 days with a slngle application.
  • Gives superintendents a true resistance-management tool.

Where to Use CADENCE®

Research shows that CADENCE® provides excellent dollar spot control in most major turf species, including:

  • Annual Bluegrass
  • Annual Ryegrass
  • Kentucky Bluegrass
  • Perennial Ryegrass
  • Rough Bluegrass
  • Tall Fescue
  • Creeping Bentgrass

“CADENCE First, CADENCE Last”... For Results That Last:

  • Apply as early preventative in the spring after the 2nd or 3rd true fairway grass mowing.
  • Apply as late fall clean-up in September through mid-October.
  • Shorten spray intervals during peak disease periods.

Preventative dollar spot control with CADENCE is far better than curative control:

  • Less fungicide is needed to provide preventative control than curative control.
  • A preventative application will provide better residual control than curative applications.
  • Early spring applications, two weeks before dollar spot initiates, results in fewer problems during spring.
  • Late fall applications provide a clean turf going into winter (reducing inoculum that over-winters) and delays spring dollar spot problems.

Technical Brief

Description: CADENCE® fungicide is a unique chemistry for control of dollar spot in golf course turfgrass.

Keys to Success:

  • Preventative applications are most effective to achieve greatest benefits of residual control.
  • Alternate INSIGNIA fungicide + CADENCE or PREMIS 200F fungicide + CADENCE for extended broad-spectrum disease control in dollar spot-susceptible turfgrass.

Rates: 3.2 - 4.0 g/ 100 sq. m. in 5-15 L water per 100 sq. m (500-1500 L per hectare)

  • Low active ingredient rate for IPM:
  • 2.24 - 2.8 g of AI /100m2 Mode of Action: Inhibits respiration within the fungal cell. Is at a different site than the strobilurin fungicide chemistries.

Behavior in Plants: Upward systemic and limited translaminar movement.

Control Symptoms: Provides rapid cessation of mycelia growth. Blocks further development of fungal growth at all stages. Healing of turfgrass lesions can be seen within 3+ days.

Formulation: 70% WG (Water Dispersible Granule)
Packaging: 3 x .162 kg package

  • Convenient packaging for ease of use. No measuring, no jugs to store or dispose of.
  • 1 envelope treats 1 acre.
  • 1 case contains 3 envelopes.

Active Ingredient: Boscalid
Chemical Family: Anilide (Carboxamide)

Signal Word: WARNING

Mode of Action: Inhibits respiration within the fungal cell. Is at a different site than the strobilurin fungicide chemistries.

REI: When spray has dried.
