Autograph Fungicide Added to the Phoenix Environmental Care LLC Product Line

Valdosta, Georgia (October 2, 2007)--Autograph™ fungicide is the latest addition to the expanding line of products from Phoenix Environmental Care LLC. “Autograph is labeled to control pythium, phytophthora, and anthracnose and will be very useful in summer stress and summer decline management programs,” says Rick Grant, Director of Business Development for Phoenix Environmental Care LLC.

Grant says the active ingredient in Autograph, fosetyl-al, has had no resistance problems in over 20-years of use. “Autograph enhances the turf’s ability to ‘self-manage’ stresses and fight off disease,” says Grant. “University tests in both 2006 and 2007 show that Autograph provides unsurpassed disease control and turf quality.”

Grant says superintendents will find Autograph an integral tool for pre-stress conditioning, with regular use resulting in significantly improved turf quality. “In addition, Autograph offers tremendous tank-mix flexibility with many other fungicides. It is a true systemic material that travels both up and down within the plant.”

Grant says Autograph will be available this fall in a unique, convenient 70-percent DF formulation.
