Broad spectrum fungicide for disease control on golf course turf
GENERAL INFORMATION
This package contains INSIGNIA EG Fungicide, a water dispersible granule (EG). The active ingredient in INSIGNIA EG Fungicide belongs to the class of fungicides, the strobilurins. Strobilurins are synthetic derivatives of a natural antifungal substance. INSIGNIA EG FUNGICIDE has a mode of action that is effective against pathogens resistant to other fungicides groups.
INSIGNIA EG FUNGICIDE inhibits spore germination and mycelial growth and sporulation of the fungus on the leaf surface. However, optimum disease control is achieved when INSIGNIA EG FUNGICIDE is applied in a regularly scheduled protective spray program and is used in a rotation program with other fungicides.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
INSIGNIA EG FUNGICIDE is a broad-spectrum fungicide recommended for the control of many important diseases of turf grass. For maximum efficacy, INSIGNIA EG FUNGICIDE should be applied preventively.
As this product is not registered for the control of pests in aquatic systems, DO NOT use to control aquatic pests.
DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes.

INSIGNIA EG FUNGICIDE is recommended for the control of brown patch, gray leaf spot, gray snow mold, leaf spot, pink snow mold, pythium blight, pythium root dysfunction, rust, anthracnose, take-all patch and dollar spot.

Turf Grass Tolerance
Due to variability within turf grass species and application techniques, neither the manufacturer nor the seller has determined whether or not INSIGNIA EG FUNGICIDE can safely be used on all turf grasses under all conditions. Therefore, it is recommended that the user determine if INSIGNIA EG FUNGICIDE can be used safely before broad use. Apply the recommended use rate of INSIGNIA EG FUNGICIDE on a small test area under conditions expected to be encountered. Monitor for any adverse effects during a 14-day period after application.
Additives
Do not use with organosilicate based adjuvants or turf grass injury may occur. Due to the large number of additives or adjuvants that may be used, neither the manufacturer nor the seller has determined whether INSIGNIA EG FUNGICIDE can be used safely with all additives.
