Key Features & Benefits of Xzemplar Fungicide

• Broad-spectrum disease control delivers both curative and preventative action against key turf pathogens.

• Rapid knockdown performance achieves visible disease reduction within four days of application.

• Long-lasting residual protection maintains disease suppression for extended periods, even under pressure.

• Highly systemic mobility means the active ingredient moves rapidly and evenly through turf tissue for total plant protection.

• Outstanding efficacy at low use rates for efficient performance with application rates as low as 0.65–0.8 L/ha.

• Safe and sustainable formulation with no buffer zones for bystander, aquatic, pollinator, vegetation, or livestock areas.

• Compatible rotation partner means Xzemplar integrates seamlessly with Lexicon® Intrinsic® Brand Fungicide and Maxtima® Fungicide for superior resistance management.

How Does Xzemplar Fungicide Work?

Xzemplar’s performance is driven by Fluxapyroxad, a Group 7 SDHI fungicide developed through BASF’s Xemium® technology platform. Fluxapyroxad targets fungal energy production by disrupting respiration and biosynthesis processes essential for fungal growth and survival.

After application, Xzemplar demonstrates advanced systemic movement, redistributing from the waxy surface of turf leaves throughout leaf and crown tissue. This systemic behaviour ensures comprehensive and long-lasting protection, even when disease infection has already commenced.

Unlike traditional azole, strobilurin, or older carboxamide fungicides, Xzemplar delivers consistent control across nearly all fungal life stages, from early spore germination through to mycelial development, supporting full disease suppression and turf recovery. 

Problems It Controls

Xzemplar® Fungicide sets the new benchmark for rapid disease management, combining immediate curative action with durable residual control. Within just four days, visible improvement in turf health and colour can be achieved.

Its broad-spectrum performance ensures control of major turf diseases such as:

• Dollar Spot (Sclerotinia homoeocarpa)
• Brown Patch (Rhizoctonia solani)
• Fairy Ring
• Leaf and Sheath Spot (Drechslera spp.)

Engineered with turf health and environmental safety in mind, Xzemplar’s low volatility and environmentally compatible formulation make it suitable for sensitive and high-visibility areas such as golf greens, sports fields, and public landscapes.

Where to Use Xzemplar® Fungicide

Xzemplar is designed for use across a wide range of professional turf applications, including:

• Golf greens, tees, and fairways
• Sports fields and stadium turf
• Bowling greens and turf clubs
• Commercial landscapes and parklands

As a new rotation partner within the BASF fungicide suite, Xzemplar integrates perfectly with Lexicon® Intrinsic® and Maxtima® Fungicides to deliver a comprehensive, resistance-managed turf disease program.

Xzemplar® Fungicide is the new standard in turf disease management, combining innovation, power, and reliability. Whether used alone or as part of a BASF rotation program, it delivers unmatched control, superior turf health, and total peace of mind for professional turf managers.
