SePRO launches Soteria fungicide

SePRO Corp. released Soteria fungicide, a product providing preventative and curative control of dollar spot, brown patch, anthracnose and several other diseases.

“Soteria is a cornerstone fungicide for any cool- or warm-season turfgrass disease management program,” said Mark Brotherton, portfolio leader for SePRO Corp. “With 12 applications per year allowed and high compatibility with other fungicides, Soteria is a fundamental piece to season-long disease control.”

Shown to be effective against strains resistant to other fungicide chemistries, Soteria is driven by technology that offers multisite mode of action, resulting in a low potential for resistance development, according to the company.

The Soteria formulation is a water-based suspension concentrate, which demonstrates excellent turf safety and readily mixes into solution, SePRO said.

“Soteria is the first building block to SePRO’s expanding portfolio of fungicides,” said Sam Barrick, vice president for SePRO Corp. “SePRO has several exciting technologies in the pipeline that will be complementary to Soteria, expanding disease spectrum and overall plant quality.”

Soteria is a featured component of the 2018-19 SePRO Pinnacle Program. With the purchase of Soteria, golf course partners can earn an additional 2 percent rebate on all purchases of SePRO’s line of turf plant growth regulators (PGRs), including Cutless, Legacy and Musketeer and aquatic solutions featuring SeClear, Captain XTR, Komeen Crystal and SonarOne.

“Golf courses can earn up to a 21 percent rebate by integrating Soteria with best-in-class PGR and aquatic technologies,” Brotherton said.

Soteria is expected to be available to golf course superintendents mid-October 2018.
