Heritage Fungicide 500g: Advanced Systemic Disease Control for Turf and Ornamentals

 

Heritage Fungicide 500g by Syngenta is a professional-grade, broad-spectrum, systemic fungicide formulated as a Water Dispersible Granule (WDG). Containing 500 g/kg of Azoxystrobin, a powerful active ingredient from the Strobilurin (Group 11) chemical class, Heritage is an essential component of an effective disease management program for professional turf managers, landscapers, and ornamental growers.

Key Benefits and Systemic Action

 

Heritage offers superior protection through its unique mode of action. It works systemically, meaning it is absorbed through the leaves, stems, and roots, and then translocates upward (acropetally) and throughout the entire plant tissue via the xylem. This ensures uniform distribution and comprehensive defense from the root to the leaf tip.

• Broad-Spectrum Control: Effectively controls over 20 major turfgrass and ornamental diseases, including some of the toughest pathogens.

• Preventative and Curative Properties: Acts as a highly potent spore germination inhibitor, stopping diseases before they establish (preventative), while also providing early curative action against existing infections.

• Long-Lasting Residual Activity: Provides extended protection for up to 28 days, reducing the frequency of applications and overall cost.

• Unique Greening Effect: The Azoxystrobin active ingredient is known to promote plant vigor, helping the turf and ornamentals efficiently assimilate nitrogen, resulting in a healthier, greener appearance and improved stress tolerance.

Target Diseases

 

Heritage is registered for the control and prevention of a wide array of fungal diseases in turfgrass (golf courses, sports fields, residential and commercial lawns) and ornamentals. Key target diseases include:

• Turf Diseases: Anthracnose, Brown Patch, Pythium Blight/Root Rot, Take-All Patch, Summer Patch, Fusarium Patch, Grey Leaf Spot, and Rust diseases.

• Ornamental Diseases: Powdery Mildew, Rust, Downy Mildew, Leaf Spots, and Botrytis Blight.

Application and Stewardship

 

As a Water Dispersible Granule, Heritage is mixed with water and applied as a spray. It is rainfast within one hour of application, ensuring effectiveness even with changing weather conditions. For effective resistance management, Syngenta recommends alternating Heritage (a Group 11 fungicide) with other registered fungicides that have a different mode of action.

The 500g pack size offers a convenient and flexible solution for managing disease pressure across various turf and landscape settings.
