Bayer introducing Exteris Stressgard at GIS

Fungicide offers foliar disease management on fairways.

Environmental Science, a business unit of the Crop Science division of Bayer, announced that it will introduce Exteris Stressgard fungicide – the newest addition to the Stressgard Formulation Technology (FT) family of products – at the Golf Industry Show in Orlando. Exteris Stressgard combines fluopyram, a next-generation SDHI active ingredient for the golf course industry, with a proven QoI partner, trifloxystrobin, and unique formulation technology to introduce a more powerful tool for foliar disease management on fairways. 

To help superintendents more effectively and efficiently manage tough and costly foliar diseases, Bayer combined fluopyram and trifloxystrobin with new Leaf-Cote Technology – a proprietary formulation enhancement that offers improved product retention on the leaf surface, leading to many customer benefits. Leaf-Cote Technology enables the product to stick to the leaf where it is needed most – at the site of fungal activity. It works in unison with Stressgard FT, which delivers several plant health benefits, including stress mitigation and improvements to turf color, quality and density.
