BASF's Pillar G Intrinsic OK'd for use in California
Pillar G Intrinsic brand fungicide from BASF recently was granted label registration by the California EPA.
Pillar G is a combination Insignia fungicide (pyraclostrobin) and Trinity fungicide (triticonazole) on a granular carrier. This combination of two highly effective active ingredients delivers preventive control of dollar spot, anthracnose, brown and large patch, take-all patch, summer patch, pink snow mold, leaf spots and more.
Pillar G Intrinsic brand fungicide is formulated on a clay granule that provides spreading characteristics because of its density and uniform particle size. The active ingredient moves quickly off of the granule after regular irrigation or precipitation so that it can protect turfgrass soon after application.
Pillar G Intrinsic brand fungicide is labeled for use on most turfgrasses for both lawns and golf courses and provides healthier and higher quality turf, especially during environmentally stressful periods.
