Syngenta has secured essential EU Annex 1 listing for Daconil, ensuring the future supplies of the important fungicide when sales of other Chlorothalonil products have been withdrawn.

Syngenta Professional Products Manager, Simon Elsworth, highlights Daconil will prove an integral part of turf managers fungicide programmes this autumn. “Daconil gives exceptional protection from key turf diseases and early kick-back curative activity, to minimise turf damage from infection,” he advises. “STRI trials have proven Daconil can give excellent control of Fusarium over the winter, leading to greatly improved turf quality in the spring.”

Syngenta has invested millions of pounds in quality manufacturing processes and achieving necessary European standards to secure the future for Daconil. “It will ensure turf managers continue to have the essential resistance-breaking properties of chlorothalonil, when other products that do not have the Annex 1 listing have been withdrawn at the end of August,” adds Simon.

“The investment continues our commitment to maintain products for the turf industry, as well as to continually introduce innovative and improved options over the coming years.”
