Syngenta Heritage Action Fungicide

Description:
Heritage Action is a broad-spectrum, systemic fungicide developed by Syngenta for the prevention and control of turf diseases on golf courses, sod farms, institutional, comerical and industrial buildings, and collegiate and professional athletic fields. It combines Azoxystrobin (a QoI fungicide) with Acibenzolar-S-methyl (a plant defense activator) to provide both direct disease control and enhanced plant health through systemic acquired resistance (SAR). This dual mode of action ensures long-lasting protection, helping turf and ornamentals withstand environmental stress while preventing key fungal pathogens.

Benefits:

• Broad-Spectrum Disease Control – Effective against a wide range of turf diseases.

• Systemic Movement – Protects the entire plant, including new growth, through translaminar and xylem movement.

• Plant Health Benefits – Enhances stress tolerance, drought resistance, and root strength.

• Extended Residual Protection – Provides longer-lasting disease prevention compared to contact fungicides.

• Resistance Management – Dual modes of action help reduce the risk of resistance development.

Diseases Controlled:

Heritage Action is effective against various fungal diseases, including:

• Turfgrass Diseases:Anthracnose (Colletotrichum cereale)
  Brown Patch (Rhizoctonia solani)
  Dollar Spot (Sclerotinia homoeocarpa)
  Pythium Blight (Pythium spp.)
  Gray Leaf Spot (Pyricularia grisea)
  Leaf Spot (Bipolaris, Drechslera spp.)
  Powdery Mildew (Erysiphe spp.)
  Summer Patch (Magnaporthiopsis poae)
  Take-All Patch (Gaeumannomyces graminis)
  Snow Mold (Typhula spp., Microdochium nivale)
  

Application Rates:

• Turfgrass: 0.2 to 0.4 fl. oz. per 1,000 sq. ft., depending on disease pressure and turf species

• Apply at 14- to 28-day intervals based on disease severity and environmental conditions

Use Restrictions:

⚠ Avoid applications near water bodies to prevent runoff.
⚠ Do not use on residential fruit trees or edible crops.
⚠ Avoid consecutive applications of QoI fungicides to prevent resistance. Rotate with different FRAC groups.
⚠ Keep away from pollinators and beneficial insects by avoiding application during bloom periods.

Safety & Handling:

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Long-sleeved shirt, long pants, gloves, and protective eyewear.

• Re-Entry Interval (REI): 4 hours (do not enter treated areas until the spray has dried).

• Environmental Caution: Highly toxic to aquatic life; avoid drift and runoff into waterways.

• Storage & Disposal: Store in a cool, dry place away from food and water sources. Dispose of containers per local regulations.

Heritage Action provides reliable disease control and enhanced plant health benefits, making it an essential tool for turf and ornamental management.
