Throttle The best way to beat Fusarium Patch

Throttle is a highly effective curative and preventative treatment for Fusarium Patch.

It combines two highly active fungicides, each with a different mode of action – Prochloraz, a translaminar, and Tebuconazole, a systemic.  Together they provide a high level of disease control in all types of established fine turf including golf tees and greens, bowling greens and sports pitches.

Liquid formulation for efficient curative or preventative control of Fusarium Patch.

Provides outstanding results if applied before, or at the early stages of disease establishment.

Tank mixable with an Iprodione fungicide for contact and systemic action.

User-friendly 0.85L, half hectare pack

Where to use

Throttle is approved for use on managed amenity turf, including sportsturf such as golf greens and tees, bowling greens and sports pitches, as well as lawns (in commercial and residential situations) Apply Throttle to established turf only.

Temperature data from the last few years has shown that turf has been able to take up systemic fungicides well into the winter period, maximising their protectant qualities.

Systemic Fungicide Choice

Where turf is rapidly growing and being mowed, duration of protection may be affected where leaf penetrant only fungicides are used. Throttle is an ideal choice of product under these conditions, as part of the formulation can be taken into the plant via its roots and moves upwardly to rapidly protect from within. This provides longevity of effect even when clippings are removed by mowing.

It is important to rotate different active ingredients to minimise the risk of resistance building up within the target organism.  It is not advisable to reduce the rate of systemic fungicides as part of a systemic / contact tank-mix, as this may increase the risk of resistance to that active ingredient and will also shorten the longevity of protection.

Tank-Mixes

In periods of active growth -  low disease pressure.

Product	Rate per hectare	Spray volume per hectare	Rate per 500m2	Spray volume per 500m2
Throttle	1.7 litres	500 litres	85 mls	25 litres
Iprodione	10 litres	500 litres	0.5 Litres	25 litres

In periods of active growth -  high disease pressure.

Product	Rate per hectare	Spray volume per hectare	Rate per 500m2	Spray volume per 500m2
Throttle	1.7 litres	500 litres	85 mls	25 litres
Iprodione	15 litres	500 litres	0.75 Litres	25 litres

Application timing

The systemic / contact tank-mix should be applied on a 3 – 4 week basis.  If conditions have been conducive to growth, the shorter time interval should be utilised as more clippings and therefore more chemical will have been removed from the sward.

When conditions no longer favour systemic products, (e.g. low temperatures/lack of growth) stand-alone treatments of an Iprodione fungicide should be applied at the full recommended rate.

Alternative mixtures with Strobilurin fungicides

To avoid resistance build up, rotate mixtures of Strobilurins with Throttle and Iprodione mixtures as detailed earlier.

Apply the Iprodione product at the recommended rate for the severity of the disease mixed with the recommended full label rate of Strobilurin fungicide. (See specific product label for rates of use). Important: it is not recommended, because of concern over disease resistance, to reduce the rate of strobilurin containing fungicides. A maximum of two applications of strobilurin containing fungicides are allowed on turf in any one year.  

Application notes

When tank-mixing Throttle with Iprodione products, the Iprodione should always be added to the half-filled spray tank first and mixed into solution, before adding Throttle.

Apply after mowing and avoid mowing for at least 24 hours after application. In hard water areas where spray water is likely to be alkaline, a spray tank acidifier may be used to maximise the performance of the product.
