Greensboro, N.C. (September 2, 2004) — The Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) recently approved two fungicide products for cotton
—
Dynasty® CST and Uniform™. Dynasty CST, a seed-delivered fungicide, protects
against a broad spectrum of seed-borne and soil-borne diseases in cotton.
Uniform, a pre-mix formulation of Quadris® and Ridomil Gold®, is a liquid
in-furrow fungicide offering effective control of the three phases of cotton
diseases. Dynasty CST delivers enhanced plant vigor and yield A new level of seed-delivered disease control, Dynasty CST combines three proven fungicides to offer enhanced disease protection for cottonseed in one convenient product. Dynasty CST provides protection against a broad spectrum of seed-borne and soil-borne diseases in cotton, including Fusarium, Pythium, and pre- and post-emergent Rhizoctonia. With the active ingredients azoxystrobin, fludioxonil and mefenoxam, Dynasty CST offers unique systemic and contact protection against the most important cotton pathogens in the four major fungal groups through complementary modes of action. As a result, Dynasty CST broadens the range of disease protection offered by current seed treatment and over-treatment fungicides to include even more seed-borne and soil seedling diseases. Studies have shown Dynasty CST provides disease protection that rivals that of many granular in-furrow fungicides. “This combination of fungicides offers optimal protection against all the major yield-robbing cotton seedling diseases to enhance plant vigor and maximize the chances for increased crop yield,” said Steve Russell, Syngenta Seed Treatment crop manager. “Dynasty CST offers long-lasting, consistent performance that is adaptable to a variety of environmental conditions. Because Dynasty CST is delivered on the seed, it also offers the additional benefit of convenience.” Dynasty CST is available from your local cotton seed dealer and
is compatible with Cruiser® seed treatment insecticide. Uniform fungicide offers serious control for troublesome
situations Uniform, formerly offered as the co-pack Quadris Ridomil Gold Uniform™, is now available as a convenient pre-mix combination. Uniform provides systemic and protectant control of soil-borne diseases, including Rhizoctonia and Pythium. “In fields with high to severe disease pressure, recurring disease problems or history of replanting, the use of an in-furrow fungicide like Uniform protects against seed rot and seedling disease,” said Jim Peters, fungicide brand manager with Syngenta.” The mixture of Quadris and Ridomil Gold provides fast, strong and even protection, resulting in a healthier and more uniform stand and ultimately higher yields.” Melvin Newman, Ph.D., extension specialist at the University of Tennessee, added, “Quadris Ridomil Gold Uniform has been one of our best treatments for in-furrow applications and has held Rhizoctonia and Pythium to a minimum.” The combination of the Quadris and Ridomil Gold active ingredients in Uniform gives growers the added benefit of two modes of action, resulting in increased activity and more complete control.
