How it Works
26 GT® is a foliar-applied flowable fungicide that provides long-lasting, preventive and curative disease control. On turf, 26 GT begins controlling mycelium as soon as 24 hours after application, resulting in faster turf recovery. On ornamentals, the product can be applied as a foliar spray, drench or dip application.
FAQ
Q: What is the difference between Chipco 26019 and 26 GT on turf?
A: Chipco 26019 was trusted for years by superintendents for its excellent, long residual disease control. 26 GT provides the same long-lasting, effective control with a significant improvement. On turf, 26 GT knocks down mycelium quickly, which allows turf to recover faster. Plus, 26 GT has the same tank-mix compatibility and broad-spectrum disease control as the original 26019 formulation.
Q: What benefits does 26 GT provide in ornamental applications?
A: The biggest benefit of 26 GT is its improved formulation compared to 26019. The liquid formulation is more user-friendly and convenient than the wettable powder fungicides on the market today, which generate dust and leave significant residue. 26 GT leaves little to no visible residue, maintains the same effective, long-residual control as 26019, and can be applied as a foliar spray, drench or dip.
Q: How can 26 GT be used to lessen resistance potential?
A: As a general rule, no one fungicide or combination should be used exclusively as treatment against a specific disease. This is especially true when certain classes of fungicide chemistry that carry a high risk of resistance development, such as strobilurins, are used against a pathogen with a high potential for resistance, such as brown patch. Used in rotation with strobilurins, a 26 GT tank mix significantly reduces the chance of disease resistance. 26 GT, with excellent brown patch and dollar spot activity, is a strong foundation to build tank mixes on for all summer diseases, as well as diseases of the other three seasons.
