Subdue Maxx Turf Fungicide is one of the best preventative and early curative systemic fungicides for effective control of Pythium in turf. Subdue Maxx is renowned for its exceptional control of diseases caused by Pythium species, which are notoriously difficult to manage in turfgrass.
Why choose Subdue Maxx Turf Fungicide?
- A highly effective, economical solution for Pythium in all turf species.
- Protection of germinating seedlings during overseeding with high turf safety.
- The combination of fast absorption and even systemic movement, as well as contact action in soil, results in full plant protection.
- Maxx technology allows for excellent tank mix compatibility with other fungicides and foliar fertilisers.
- Low odour, non-staining formulation.
- Backed by the proven reliability of Syngenta Turf.
Subdue Maxx Turf Fungicide is an excellent choice to use preventatively or early curatively during high infection risk periods. The fast absorption and systemic movement combine to ensure true “stopping power” for early curative Pythium Leaf Blight situations. For Pythium Root Rot, a preventative plan is the only safe approach. Subdue Maxx is rapid and responsive, treating problems before they are actually seen. Making a good start to the season should see turf through the summer without a problem. Remember, though, that Pythium control depends heavily upon regular population control throughout the summer. Consecutive days of rain and high temperatures (25-40°C) will quickly advance Pythium populations.
What is the application rate of Subdue Maxx Turf Fungicide?
- When targeting Pythium Leaf Blight, Pythium Root Rot and Seedling Damping Off in turf, apply Subdue Maxx at 1.7 L to 3.5 L/ha or 17mL to 35 mL/100m2
Subdue Maxx Turf Fungicide is a micro-emulsion concentrate (MEC) with minimal odour as the product does not contain petroleum solvents. Subdue Maxx mixes completely with water and can be tank-mixed with many commonly used fungicides and liquid fertilisers.
Subdue Maxx Turf Fungicide contains Metalaxyl-M, which is a systemic fungicide, meaning it is absorbed by the plant and translocated through its vascular tissues. This allows the fungicide to move upwards from the roots and outwards to the leaf tips, providing comprehensive protection to the entire plant. This systemic nature ensures that even parts of the plant not directly sprayed are protected, and the active ingredient is less susceptible to being washed off by rain or irrigation.
Metalaxyl-M is a phenylamide fungicide that works by inhibiting protein synthesis in a targeted group of fungi known as Oomycetes. It achieves this by disrupting the activity of RNA polymerase, an essential enzyme for the fungus’s growth and reproduction. This targeted approach means it is highly effective against specific pathogens while having minimal impact on other microorganisms.
