Sipcam Agro to launch Carve Xtra turf fungicide in early 2026

Sipcam Agro USA announced the launch of Carve Xtra, a next-generation turf fungicide engineered to meet the rigorous demands of golf course disease management.

Developed with golf superintendents and turf managers in mind, Carve Xtra delivers broad-spectrum control, preventive and curative activity and systemic protection all in one solution, according to the company.  

Golf course turf faces relentless pressure from diseases like dollar spot, brown patch, anthracnose and fairy ring. Carve Xtra combines azoxystrobin and prothioconazole — two active ingredients with complementary modes of action — to provide improved disease control and resistance management. This dual-active formulation aims to keep turf healthy and playable even under high-stress conditions, according to Sipcam Agro.  

Key features for superintendents: 

• Broad-spectrum protection: Controls 13 major turf diseases, including summer stress pathogens.
• Resistance management: Dual modes of action reduce the risk of fungicide resistance.
• Enhanced turf quality: Improves root development, color retention, shade tolerance and water use efficiency, according to the company.
• Versatile application: Fits seamlessly into rotational and tank-mix programs for all golf turf types.

“Golf course superintendents need solutions that work and offer a great ROI,” said Dave Feist, senior director of marketing at Sipcam Agro USA. “Carve Xtra is designed to deliver consistent, reliable performance while supporting long-term turf health.”

• GCSAA Conference and Trade Show: Jan. 31–Feb. 5, Orlando, Fla.
