Envu expanded its portfolio to include Tarvecta fungicide, a tool to prevent soilborne disease such as fairy ring, summer patch and other diseases caused by summer stress. Tarvecta is approved for use on golf courses, athletic fields, sod farms and commercial lawns.
Tarvecta works on multiple difficult diseases as a combination of two powerful active ingredients, fluoxastrobin and flutriafol. Fluoxastrobin is taken up by the plant quicker than other strobilurins, while flutriafol moves up the xylem to internally control new fungal growth and form a protective barrier. The result — Tarvecta is a fast-acting disease-control solution for stressed and weakened turf.
“Diseases can establish quickly when turfgrass is stressed during peak playing times,” said James Hempfling, Ph.D. Green Solutions Team, Envu. “Whether managing a sports field or a golf course, disease damage disrupts turfgrass playability. That’s why preventive practices are crucial. Tarvecta can be applied proactively ahead of stressful periods to protect against infection or curatively to ensure rapid recovery.”
