Edict Duo Fungicide Mode of Action

Tebuconazole, one active ingredient in Edict Duo, is a systemic fungicide that once absorbed by roots and leaves moves upwards (acropetal) within the plant. Tebuconazole possesses curative, protective and eradicant activity when controlling turfgrass fungi. Tebuconazole is a Group 3 fungicide. It works in controlling turf pathogens by disrupting the fungi’s membrane function. It is classified as a DMI inhibitor as it stops the demethylation step in the biosynthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of cell walls in many fungi.

Trifloxystrobin is the other molecule in Edict Duo Fungicide. Trifloxystrobin has the ability to strongly bond onto plant surfaces through penetration of the waxy layers. This forms a secure reservoir of fungicide to provide long-lasting, weather-protected disease control. Trifloxystrobin works by interfering with respiration in plant pathogenic fungi. It is a potent inhibitor of fungal spore germination and mycelial growth.

Maximising Performance of Edict Duo Fungicide

• Good turf disease control requires good coverage. Application should be made using sufficient water to ensure thorough coverage: 800-1,600L of water per hectare.
• For preventative control apply Edict Duo on a 21-28 day interval when conditions are favourable for disease development. For curative control apply Edict Duo on a 14-21 day interval.
• For Brown Patch and ERI disease control, apply sufficient irrigation quickly following irrigation to wash Edict Duo into the crown and upper root zone (3-6mm of irrigation).
• For ERI disease control, make monthly preventative applications in the three months preceding the disease season (usually early Spring).
• From a resistance management perspective, do not apply more than two consecutive sprays of Edict Duo unless mixed witha protectant fungicide from group 14, 28, M2, M3, M4 or M5.
• Edict Duo acts very rapidly and where the turf is of a low nutritional status, a slight yellowing may be seen. This will be corrected by nitrogenous fertiliser applications. Where possible, it is recommended that a fertiliser program should precede the fungicide application.
