Technical Brief
Description: PREMIS fungicide is a DMI fungicide that can be used throughout the year, including the summer months, offering broad-spectrum control of the most prevalent turfgrass diseases.
Keys to Success: Apply preventively for most effective control.
Rates: 16-32 ml per 100 m2 in 2L of water.
Behavior in Plants: Absorbed by leaf, crown and roots; acropetal penetrant; provides both contact and
upwardly systemic activity.
Mode of Action: Disrupts cell membrane function in the sterol biosynthesis pathway (DMI or SI).
Control Symptoms: PREMIS is highly rainfast and is quickly absorbed by leaves, crown and roots of treated turfgrass. Fungal activity ceases within one to two days when applied as a curative application.
Tank Mixes: For improved control on certain diseases, tank-mix with INSIGNIA®, CADENCE® fungicide.
Formulation: 200 grams per litre Suspension Concentrate
Packaging: 2 x 3.2 litres
Active Ingredient: Triticonazole
Chemical Family: Triazole (also known as a DMI demethylation-inhibiting / SI sterol-inhibiting fungicide)
Environmental Profile: No surface or groundwater impact. Nontoxic to birds, mammals and bees.
Signal Word: CAUTION
REI: When sprays have dried.
PPE: Long-sleeved shirt and long pants / Chemical-resistant gloves of a waterproof material / Shoes and socks
Always read and follow label directions.

How To Get The Most Out Of Your Application:
In order to maximize disease control during the summer, when turf can be stressed from heat, drought or excessive moisture, the following is recommended:
- On turf that is primarily Poa annua, use a maximum of 16 ml/100m2. This includes soil-based greens, tees and fairways.
- Bentgrass turf (greens, tees and fairways) and sand-based greens (bentgrass or Poa annua) have shown excellent tolerance to PREMIS applications.
- Applications made to Poa annua treated with a growth regulator (i.e. Primo®) may result in overregulation, discoloration and possible thinning, when high rates of the growth regulator are being used.
Reducing growth regulator rates or eliminating an application is suggested when PREMIS is being used. - Tank-mixing of PREMIS with a growth regulator is not suggested on Poa annua turf. For best results, separate these applications.
- Allow 28 days between PREMIS applications on Poa annua.
Application Brief
Preventative, Rotational and Tank-Mix Applications
In the spring of the year, diseases like anthracnose, summer patch and take-all patch need to receive preventative applications to keep them from causing problems during the stressful summer months. PREMIS has been found to be highly effective on anthracnose and can provide solid brown patch control when applied prior to the onset of disease.
PREMIS can also be used as a rotational product for the control of dollar spot and, as part of a tank mix, can provide topnotch control of snow mould when applied in the fall.
- Anthracnose: Should be applied in late spring prior to the onset of hot, humid weather as a preventative for this disease. Additional summer applications can be made as required, even as an early curative treatment. An application rate of 32 ml/100 m2. has been found to be very effective.
- Brown Patch: Apply prior to the onset of conditions favorable for disease at 16 ml/100 sq.m. Rotate with other effective brown patch products.
- Dollar Spot: Apply in spring at 16 ml/100m2. and rotate with other mode-of-action products.
- Snow Mould: Apply PREMIS at 16 ml/100m2. as a tank mix in the fall with INSIGNIA (28 g/100 m2). Apply in October or early-November immediately before permanent snow cover.
