Quadris Top fungicide receives EPA and Florida registration for use on citrus

Syngenta Crop Protection announced the federal EPA and Florida registration of Quadris® Top fungicide for use on citrus in Florida. Quadris Top contains the active ingredients azoxystrobin, a strobilurin fungicide, and difenoconazole, a triazole fungicide. State registrations or specific crop and/or pest uses may still be pending in certain states. Check with your state regulatory agency to determine registration status. 
 
"With two active ingredients, Quadris Top offers growers a high level of activity and reliability for complete control of many important diseases, including citrus black spot,” said David Laird, fungicide brand manager, Syngenta Crop Protection. ”Its low use rates and application flexibility also make it an effective product in any lineup and a great addition in many Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs. Quadris Top is being introduced to citrus growers in Florida at a crucial time to combat black spot.”
 
Quadris Top is effective for use on citrus black spot and other serious diseases by providing high intrinsic activity, excellent rainfastness and rapid uptake with translaminar movement of difenoconazole and xylem-mobile movement of azoxystrobin. Quadris Top applications should begin prior to citrus disease development and continue throughout the season on a 7- to 21-day interval following resistance-management guidelines. Please refer to the citrus product label for additional best practices and directions for use.

It is registered for use on brassica (cole) leafy vegetables, bulb vegetables, cucurbit vegetables, filberts, grapes, pecans, peppers and other fruiting vegetables, pistachios and tuberous and corm vegetables.

"We are excited to add Quadris Top to the Syngenta product portfolio. Through our commitment to research and development, and passion for the agriculture industry, we are able to introduce products like Quadris Top that provide dependable, broad-spectrum disease control,” Laird said.

In addition to providing quality products to help growers achieve optimal results, Syngenta is also investing in the future of agriculture by collaborating with youth education organizations, such as 4-H and the National FFA Organization, and sponsoring multiple FFA programs. Syngenta also invests directly in the future of Florida agriculture by partnering with Florida Fruit & Vegetable Association to offer scholarship opportunities, as well as sponsoring a Florida-based internship program for agriculture-focused high school and college students.
