SipcamAdvan boosts fungicide portfolio
SipcamAdvan said it has added four new products to its ETQ fungicide portfolio.
Echo Dyad ETQ contains chlorothalonil, E-Scape ETQ contains chlorothalonil and tebuconazole, Eclipse ETQ contains iprodione and Sipcam Clearscape ETQ contains tebuconazole. Each product incorporates the company’s ETQ technology to optimize turfgrass color, strength, density and consistency by protecting turf from UVA and UVB rays, heat and other stress factors, according to the company.
“Our first ETQ fungicides were strictly chlorothalonil-based, but these new products contain additional active ingredients for season-long disease control,” said George Furrer, director of the company’s specialty business. “Professional turf managers benefit from an umbrella of protection encompassing the benefits of ETQ technology plus broader spectrum disease management and enhanced turf quality, while allowing adherence to annual use restrictions for chlorothalonil.”
The company, which is owned by the Sipcam-Oxon Group and based in Durham, N.C., uses a distribution-focused marketing strategy to provide traditional chemical and biorational products to the turf, ornamental and agricultural markets in the U.S. and Mexico.
