Subdue Maxx Fungicide: The Specialist for Pythium Control
Subdue Maxx Fungicide is Syngenta’s leading, highly effective systemic fungicide, specially formulated for the preventative and early curative control of devastating Oomycete diseases, particularly Pythium blight (grease spot), Pythium root rot, Pythium damping-off, and Phytophthora spp. This is the trusted solution for protecting high-value turf on golf courses (greens, tees, and fairways), as well as ornamentals and non-bearing fruit and nut trees.
Advanced Systemic and Contact Action
The power of Subdue Maxx comes from its active ingredient, Mefenoxam (Metalaxyl-M and its S-isomer, FRAC Group 4). This active ingredient delivers a powerful dual-action defense:
-
Systemic Activity: Mefenoxam is rapidly absorbed by the roots and foliage, then translocated throughout the entire plant. This provides uniform, internal protection that cannot be washed off by rain, offering up to 3 weeks of residual control.
-
Contact Activity: The product also forms a protective layer on the soil surface, controlling pathogens on contact and protecting emerging seedlings.
The MAXX Technology Advantage
Subdue Maxx is formulated as a Micro-Emulsion Concentrate (MEC), incorporating Syngenta’s MAXX technology. This advanced, low-odor, non-staining formulation ensures:
-
Excellent Tank-Mix Compatibility: Easily blends with most common fungicides and foliar fertilizers.
-
Easy Handling: Mixes completely into a clear solution with minimal equipment wear.
-
Root Protection: Its high solubility allows it to penetrate the soil to target root-borne diseases, making it the top choice for preventing Pythium root dysfunction, especially during overseeding.
Use Subdue Maxx preventatively when conditions favor Pythium development (warm, wet, and humid weather) as part of a resistance management program to maintain healthy, vigorous turf.
