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

Best Practice Application Guidelines

Dedicate FORTE Stressgard is a broad-spectrum fungicide which is absorbed rapidly and works systemically from within the plant. Good coverage and wetting of the foliage are necessary. Application should be made using sufficient water to ensure thorough, uniform coverage. Apply in 400-800 L water per ha for foliar or crown diseases such as Dollar Spot, Anthracnose, Brown Patch, Fusarium (Microdochium), Helminthosporium, Gray leaf spot and Rust. An application is rainfast after drying (approximately 30 minutes) and rain or sprinkler irrigation after this time should not decrease effectiveness.

Use higher water rates (up to 1600 L per ha) for treatment of soil/root diseases such as Brown Patch and Fairy Ring. When targeting applications for soilborne diseases, water in immediately to the depth of fungal activity in the root zone.
