PRODUCT INFORMATION

GOLIATH XP is a combination of two broad spectrum, preventative fungicides with systemic properties recommended for the control of many important turfgrass diseases. GOLIATH XP may be applied as a foliar spray in alternating spray programs or in tank mixes with other registered, turf protection products. All applications must be made according to the use directions that follow.

PRODUCT USE RESTRICTIONS

• Do not graze or feed clippings from treated turf areas to animals.

• Do not apply GOLIATH XP to turf by air.

PRODUCT USE PRECAUTIONS

• GOLIATH XP has demonstrated some phytotoxic effects when mixed with products that are formulated as EC’s. These effects are enhanced if applications are made under cool, cloudy conditions and these conditions remain for several days following application. In addition, adjuvants that contain some form of silicone have also contributed to phytotoxicity.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT

GOLIATH XP is a mixture of a Group 3 (propiconazole) and a Group 11 (azoxystrobin) fungicide. GOLIATH XP has two modes of action: (1) DMI (Demethylation Inhibitor of sterol biosynthesis) [Group 3], and (2) inhibitor of the Qo (quinone outside) site within the electron transport system (Qoi) as well as disrupting membrane synthesis by blocking demethylation [Group 11]. Fungal pathogens can develop resistance to products with the same mode of action when used repeatedly. GOLIATH XP is not crossresistant with other classes of fungicides which have different modes of action. Because resistance development cannot be predicted, use of this product should conform to resistance management strategies established for turf in your area. Consult your local or State turf authorities for resistance management strategies that are complementary to those in this label. Resistance management strategies may include rotating and/or tankmixing with products having different modes of action or limiting the total number of applications per season. Avoid alternation with other Qols, such as pyraclostrobin and trifloxystrobin or other DMI’s such as triadimefon, fenarimol, and myclobutanil. GOLIATH XP should not be alternated or tank mixed with fungicides to which resistance has already developed. Continual use of GOLIATH XP may allow less sensitive strains of pathogens to increase in the population and reduce the efficacy of GOLIATH XP. United Phosphorus, Inc. encourages responsible resistance management to ensure effective long-term control of the fungal diseases on this label. Use of a multiple-site contact fungicide such as Daconil as an alternation or tank-mix partner can help alleviate selection pressure on pathogens and delay the onset of resistance. However, DO NOT use Daconil or other products containing chlorothalonil on home lawns or turf sites associated with apartment buildings, daycare centers, playgrounds, playfields, recreational park athletic fields, athletic fields located on or next to schools (i.e., elementary, middle and high schools), campgrounds, churches and theme parks. Since pathogens differ in their potential to develop resistance to fungicides, the SPECIFIC USE DIRECTIONS section in this label provides resistance management strategies specific for each disease.
