Ascernity^® fungicide from Syngenta re-registered for use on turf in California, USA

Date:08-02-2023

Ascernity^® fungicide from Syngenta is now available for golf course superintendents to use in California again. Ascernity combines SOLATENOL^® technology ― an advanced SDHI for golf course turf ― and difenoconazole, the proven cooling DMI. Superintendents can begin to incorporate Ascernity into their rotation programs again to better prevent several key diseases in cool- and warm-season turf with no heat restrictions.  

By regaining access to Ascernity fungicide, superintendents will benefit from: 

• Excellent control of diseases like anthracnose, large patch, summer patch, brown ring patch, gray leaf spot, microdochium patch, dollar spot and more, plus suppression of rapid blight under a 2(ee) label.
  

• Long-lasting control as the cornerstone of the GreenTrust^® 365 Large Patch Guarantee Program.
  

• Improved turf safety with no heat restrictions ― even in the summer under high disease pressure.
  

• No unwanted plant growth regulation, phytotoxicity or thinning.

 
″The re-registration of Ascernity offers California golf course superintendents a broad-spectrum fungicide that will protect against more than 20 diseases,″ said Ron Townsend, technical service manager for Syngenta. ″It is a powerful tool for disease control programs for cool- and warm-season turf. Specifically in California, it will be a great tool for large patch, brown patch, brown ring patch and dollar spot control.″

For resistance management and season-long control, the Syngenta technical service team has developed prescriptive agronomic programs that strategically rotate Ascernity with other trusted products.
