Subject: Insignia™ (Pyraclostrobin) Receives Approval For Use in Massachusetts

The new Insignia™ (pyraclostrobin) label, EPA Reg. No. 7969-184, is now registered in Massachusetts. This new registration allows for use in residential and commercial lawns, recreational areas and sod farms. Insignia™ is in the QoI (Strobilurin) fungicide group, is systemic, and is subject to fungicide resistance development. I recommend that this product be rotated with fungicides other than strobilurins. This product is labeled for: anthracnose, bentgrass dead spot, brown patch, dollar spot (suppression only), fairy ring, Fusarium patch, gray leaf spot, gray snow mold, leaf spot, melting out, pink patch, pink snow mold, powdery mildew, Pythium blight, rapid blight, red thread, rust, summer patch and take-all patch.
