Fungicides

Turf Fungicide Groups Subject to Resistance Problems

If a pathogen develops resistance to one fungicide in a group then it may become resistant to other products within that group. This is called 'cross resistance'. The recommendation would be to alternate between the different groups and only alternate between different sub groups (e.g. with DMI's) where there is no other choice.

1.	DICARBOXIMIDES - MODERATE RISK
	Iprodione	- Rovral
	Procymidone	- Sumisclex
	Vinclozolin	- Ronilan
2.	BENZIMIDAZOLES - HIGH RISK
	Benomyl	- Benlate
	Carbendazim	- Bavistin
		- Delsene
		- Protek
3.	DMI's - LOW RISK
	Triazoles	- Bayleton 5DF
		- Cereous
		- Tilt
		- Alto
		- Folicur
	Imidazoles	- Sportak
	Piperazines	- Saprol
	Pyrimdines	- Rubigan
4.	PHENYLAMIDES - HIGH RISK
	Metalaxyl	- Ridomil
5.	AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS - MODERATE RISK
	Quintozene	- Terraclor
