TURFCIDE is an excellent solution for control of persistent diseases of turf — from snow mold and brown patch to leaf spot and dollar spot. Preventative applications may be made in spring and fall. For control of existing turf disease, TURFCIDE should be treated at first sign of symptoms. Applied as a soil treatment, TURFCIDE also provides protection against a variety of soil-borne diseases in greenhouses, shadehouses, nurseries, landscapes and field grown ornamentals as well as in interiorscapes. It is available in both granular and liquid formulations. Turfcide® is a contact fungicide to which no resistance has developed after nearly 50 years of use. Always refer to the specimen label use and rate recommendations before applying to turf or ornamentals.
