AgroPages-UTA to market fungicide azoxystrobin-Agricultural news

United Turf Alliance announced the introduction of ArmorTech ZOXY 2 SC, a new liquid formulation of an azoxystrobin fungicide in July. Prior to going off patent, azoxystrobin was available to the professional turf management market as Syngenta Group Company’s Heritage Fungicide.

ArmorTech ZOXY 2 SC is labeled for the control of many important turfgrass diseases on golf course greens, tees and fairways, as well as residential, commercial, recreational and sports turf. The highly concentrated liquid formulation contains 2.08 pounds of active ingredient per gallon. It is a water-based product offering low odor and easy tank mixing.

"We believe the competitive economics of ArmorTech ZOXY 2 SC will provide golf course superintendents and other turf professionals more budget-friendly disease control," United Turf Alliance President Tim Zech said. "We are excited to bring the first alternate brand liquid formulation of azoxystrobin to the turf industry. It provides end-users the opportunity to economically spray greens and even fairways with one of the best disease control agents available."

ArmorTech ZOXY 2 SC is available from United Turf Alliance members and dealer partners. The one-quart container treats approximately one acre of turf at the standard use rate.

Incorporated in 2005, United Turf Alliance markets leading edge turf protection products under the ArmorTech and Optimizer brand names through its members and dealer partners. The alliance directs its efforts toward discriminating golf course superintendents and other turfgrass professionals who value relationships based on industry and product knowledge combined with excellent customer service.
