Abstract/Contents:Profiles pyraclostrobin "an important fungicide type in turfgrass disease management." Describes pyraclostrobin's method of action, stating that "pyraclostrobin - a carbamic acid - reportedly has activities against fifteen major turfgrass pathogens with a wide range of efficacy from moderate to extremely high. Like...other strobilurins...one of the positive attributes of this compound is the low rate of use and relatively longer application intervals. This ultimately lead to the development of a sound fungicide program that is cost-effective...It is inhibitory to a target fungal pathogen virtually at all major stages of the life cycle such as spore germination, germ tube elongation, mycelial growth, and sporulation." Suggests that "the primary benefit of using pyraclostrobin might be most likely from a preventive use...This will not only be relevant to increased efficacy but also to the long-term resistance management as preventive application provides reduction of initial inoculum." Reports that "results from research trials in the Northeast and several other regions of the United States have shown that Insignia [pyraclostrobin] is highly effective in controlling a number of diseases of turfgrass", including gray leaf spot, anthracnose basal rot, Pythium foliar blight, brown patch, gray snow mold, pink snow mold, red thread, rusts, take-all patch, leaf spot, and summer patch. Concludes that "control of a wide range of turfgrass diseases caused by fungi from various classes is a major strength of pyraclostrobin, and such an extraordinary broad-spectrum nature of this...strobilurin will undoubtedly become a strong component in an integrated disease management program."
