Azoxy 250 T&O Fungicide

Azoxy 250 T&O Fungicide (active constituent Azoxystrobin) is an effective xylem systemic fungicide that delivers excellent protection for up to 28 days against a wide spectrum of Turf, Nursery Stock and Ornamental diseases. Azoxy 250 T&O Fungicide controls a variety of diseases in turf such as anthracnose, brown patch, grey leaf spot, helminthosporium, red thread, pythium, winter fusarium and spring dead spot; and in ornamentals such as downy mildew, grey mould, leaf spots, myrtle rust, powdery Mildew and rusts.

Azoxystrobin is a member of the strobiluron fungicide group, and acts on the fungal pathogen outside and inside the plant at the early stages of infection and stops disease development by interfering with ATP biosynthesis in fungal mitochondria.

Xylem systemic fungicide that delivers excellent protection for up to 28 days against a wide spectrum of turf diseases. Azoxystrobin is absorbed by the leaves and crowns of the plant, mostly within 24-48 hours of treatment. Absorption through roots (after application to the root zone) normally happens over time and is facilitated by soil moisture. It is transported acropetally (upwards) in the xylem. This systemic translocation and translaminar movement combined contributes to even distribution and longevity of the active Ingredient within the plant tissue.

• Broad Spectrum control of 6 major Nursery stock and Ornamental diseases including Downy Mildew, Leaf Spot, Powdery Mildew and Myrtle Rust

How to get the most out of Azoxy 250 T&O Fungicide

• For Turf: Apply in 350 - 1000L of water per ha (volume is dependant on target disease, see application section of label).
• Azoxystrobin has excellent protective activity; best results will be achieved when Azoxy 250 T&O Fungicide is applied prior to infection as a preventative.
• Preventative dictates that application begins when conditions are favourable for disease infection and at the very beginning of disease infection.
• When first symptoms are already visible Azoxy 250 T&O Fungicide should be tank-mixed with a suitable early curative fungicide.

Application for Turf

Leaf and Crown Diseases: Application volume for leaf and crown diseases (Anthracnose, Brown Patch, Grey Leaf Spot, Helminthosporium diseases, Pythium Blight, Red Thread and Winter Fusarium) should be adequate to ensure thorough and even coverage of the turf leaves and penetration to the crowns. Ideal application volume should be 350 to 500 L/ha (3.5 to 5 L per 100 m2 ).

Root Diseases: Application volumes for root infecting diseases (Brown Patch, Pythium Root Rot and Spring Dead Spot) should be as high as possible (approximately 1000 L/ha (10 L per 100 m2 )) to ensure placement close to the soil surface. When lower application volumes are used, washing in should commence as soon as possible after application. Preferably spray onto wet or dewy grass. Irrigate with 6 to 10 mm of water commencing as soon as possible (within 1 hour of application).

Avoiding crop damage in Nursery stock and Ornamentals

Nursery stock, ornamentals and cut flowers/foliage (other than certain apple varieties) are not known to be sensitive to azoxystrobin when used in strict accordance with the rate, conditions of use and other warnings. However, due to the large number of species and varieties of ornamentals and nursery stock it is impossible to test every one for tolerance to azoxystrobin. The user should conduct small-scale testing to ensure plant safety prior to large-scale commercial use.

DO NOT apply to Malus spp. (i.e. Apple/Crabapple) or Prunus spp. (i.e. Flowering Cherry) due to possible phytotoxicity.
