Dedicate Forte Stressgard Fungicide

Dedicate FORTE Stressgard® is a broad-spectrum DMI fungicide containing tebuconazole (240 g/L) and enhanced with Stressgard® Formulation Technology. It delivers effective control of soil-borne and foliar fungal diseases across both cool- and warm-season turfgrass.

Designed for flexibility and performance, Dedicate FORTE Stressgard is suited to early season preventative programs, spring disease knockdown, and fast, thorough curative control of key summer diseases. Its systemic activity and low growth regulation impact make it a reliable option for maintaining consistent, high-quality playing surfaces throughout the season.

Key features and benefits of Dedicate FORTE Stressgard Fungicide

• A use rate that delivers powerful control of a broad spectrum of soil borne and foliar diseases, giving you the confidence to start the season with strong disease knockdown and protection, and fast, thorough curative control from upward systemic movement of the active ingredient
• A solo active ingredient formulation of tebuconazole (Fungicide Resistance Action Committee Group 3), making it different from many other products that combine FRAC Groups 3 and 11, which brings simplification and flexibility to the building of effective fungicide programs that manage resistance, particularly to FRAC Group 11 fungicides
• Tebuconazole is proven to have low growthregulatory impact on both warm and coolseason turf, providing confidence of summer safety, and flexibility to use when turf is under growth regulation

How Dedicate FORTE Stressgard Works

Dedicate FORTE Stressgard is rapidly absorbed into turfgrass and moves systemically upward within the plant. This internal movement allows it to control disease from within, providing both preventative protection and fast curative activity.

The addition of Stressgard® Formulation Technology supports turf health during disease pressure, helping maintain turf quality and recovery during stressful environmental conditions.

Diseases Controlled / Managed

Dedicate FORTE Stressgard is effective against a broad spectrum of turf diseases, including:

• Fairy Ring (soil-borne disease)

• Dollar Spot

• Brown Patch

• Anthracnose

• Fusarium (Microdochium)

• Helminthosporium

• Grey Leaf Spot

• Rust

Resistance Management

Dedicate FORTE Stressgard contains tebuconazole, a FRAC Group 3 fungicide. Its solo active ingredient formulation allows greater flexibility in program design and supports responsible resistance management when rotated with fungicides from alternate mode-of-action groups.

Application Guidelines Dedicate FORTE Stressgard

Dedicate FORTE Stressgard should be applied with good coverage and sufficient water to ensure even wetting of foliage or soil, depending on the target disease.

For foliar and crown diseases such as Dollar Spot, Anthracnose, Brown Patch, Fusarium, Helminthosporium, Grey Leaf Spot and Rust, apply using 400–800 L water per hectare. The product becomes rainfast once dry, typically within 30 minutes, and rainfall or irrigation after this time will not reduce performance.

For soil- and root-borne diseases such as Fairy Ring and Brown Patch, use higher water volumes of up to 1600 L per hectare. When targeting soil-borne pathogens, irrigate immediately after application to move the product to the depth of fungal activity within the root zone.

Where to Use Dedicate FORTE Stressgard

Suitable for use on cool- and warm-season turfgrass, including:

• Golf courses

• Bowling greens

• Sports fields

• Racetracks

• Other intensively managed turf surfaces
