Product Information

Insignia is a strobilurin fungicide used for the control of Red Thread, moderate control of Fusarium Patch, and a useful reduction of Dollar Spot in managed amenity turf.

Restrictions/Warnings

Wash equipment thoroughly after use.
Do not apply during drought conditions or to frozen turf.
It is good practice to avoid applying Insignia immediately after cutting or within 48 hours prior to mowing.
Apply Insignia at the first signs of disease or when conditions are favourable (as with all turf fungicides).

Disease Control

Insignia is effective for the control of Red Thread, moderate control of Fusarium Patch, and useful reduction of Dollar Spot in managed amenity turf.

Fusarium Patch disease is favoured by humid conditions and a moist turf surface. Poorly drained swards with water-retentive thatch layers are particularly prone to this disease.
- Regular aeration, appropriate scarification, and judicious use of nitrogenous fertiliser can help limit disease development.
- Once Fusarium Patch disease is established, severe turf damage can occur, particularly in autumn. Apply Insignia at the first signs of disease or when conditions are favourable.

Resistance Management

GROUP 11 FUNGICIDE

Do not apply more than 2 sequential applications of any product containing a Qol fungicide on turf. For further advice on resistance management in turf, contact your agronomist, specialist advisor, or visit the FRAG-UK website.
