Heritage Maxx gains approval for Ireland
New Heritage Maxx from Syngenta is now
approved for use in Ireland, just a month after gaining full
approval for the UK and will be available for treatments starting
in the spring. Heritage Maxx utilises a unique five-way action to
target a magnificent seven turf diseases and protect turf quality.
Heritage Maxx features active recycling of
its powerful fungicidal properties, providing disease protection
that goes on cut after cut. Syngenta Technical Manager, Dr Simon
Watson, believes it will be especially useful in Ireland and areas
where continuous turf growth through the season can quickly reduce
the efficacy of contact fungicides on the leaf.
It has been developed as a new liquid
formulation specifically for turf, utilising the Syngenta Maxx
formulation technology. The sub-micron particle size of the Maxx
formulation can get into the leaf faster and move quicker to the
site of any disease infection. As a result the level of disease
control in trials has been outstanding - with faster effects and
longer lasting results. The new liquid formulation is also easier
to use than granules and mixes to a colourless spray mix that
leaves no trace on turf after application.
Heritage Maxx has been approved for the
broadest spectrum of turf diseases, with seven diseases on the
label, including the most prevalent foliar disease, Fusarium Patch,
the increasingly difficult to control Anthracnose, Leaf Spots
common on winter sports pitches and Rusts that occur in wet warm
periods on under fertilised turf. The unique root activity and
uptake means Heritage Maxx is also approved for the two key
soil-borne turf diseases, Take-All Patch and Type 2 Fairy
Rings.
Heritage Maxx is distributed in the UK and
Ireland by Scotts Professional.
