Amvac introduces Oreon fungicide

By |  January 26, 2016 0 Comments

AmvacChemCorpLogo2Amvac Chemical Corporation has launched Oreon fungicide, a combination fungicide that provides both contact and systemic activity against common turf diseases such as anthracnose, dollar spot and brown patch.

Oreon has two active ingredients, PCNB and tebuconazole fungicides. The water-based formulation offers improved turf safety compared to existing PCNB products, the company says in a news release.

The combination of two contact and systemic active ingredients, PCNB and tebuconazole, allows for broad-spectrum disease control. Amvac says it is the only premix product on the market that contains a FRAC Group 14 fungicide.

“Research trials have proven Oreon provides excellent control of anthracnose, dollar spot and brown patch,” says Chuck Silcox, Ph.D., product development manager, Amvac Environmental Products. “Golf course superintendents are facing increasing resistance issues with anthracnose and dollar spot. Oreon provides a new tool to help control these challenging diseases.”

Oreon should be applied to turfgrass that is well established, actively growing and not under excessive heat, moisture or drought stress, Amvac says.

“The addition of Oreon to our portfolio gives us an attractive offering for golf course superintendents,” says Jeff Alvis, business manager, Amvac Environmental Products. “This product introduction demonstrates the commitment Amvac has to the turf and golf industries, and we’re looking to bring additional solutions to this sector in the near future.”

Amvac will be providing superintendents at the 2016 Golf Industry Show in February a special demonstration pack in its booth, No. 3357. Attendees also may sign up at the booth to receive a free case of Oreon with support materials. All demonstration packs will be shipped April 1 to arrive in time for early-season application.
