Research Brief

Description: INSIGNIA® fungicide is a broad-spectrum fungicide for control of many diseases on golf course turfgrasses.

Keys to Success:

  • Preventative or early applications. Sufficient coverage of 40-120 L/ 1000 m2 (400-1200L/hectare) spray volume recommended.
  • Follow proposed resistance management guidelines for no more than two consecutive Insignia applications to diseases such as pythium blight and gray leaf spot; then rotate to a nonstrobilurin-based
    fungicide.
  • Do not exceed (6) six applications per season.
  • Then alternate to an effective non-strobilurin fungicide with a different mode of action for at least two (2) applications.
  • Do not make more than three (3) consecutive applications of INSIGNIA EG FUNGICIDE for all other diseases.
