Topguard EQ Fungicide, FMC

Topguard EQ fungicide controls aggressive outbreaks of diseases like Southern rust in corn. It is the only premix that combines the benefits of highly systemic and long-lasting Group 3 fungicide, flutriafol, with a best-in-class Group 11 strobilurin fungicide azoxystrobin. This unique combination broadens the spectrum of diseases that can be controlled and offers two modes of action to combat disease resistance.

- Topguard EQ fungicide is the only premix that combines the benefits of highly systemic and long-lasting Group 3 fungicide, flutriafol, with a top-of-class Group 11 strobilurin fungicide, azoxystrobin.

- The two modes of action in Topguard EQ fungicide are distinctly different. Flutriafol provides some of the longest residual control in its class and is very mobile in the plant’s xylem. Once applied, flutriafol rapidly penetrates the waxy layer of the leaf and moves upward through the plant to help prevent disease onset.

- Azoxystrobin inhibits fungal respiration, causing the fungal cells to die. It also reduces plant stress for improved health. These two active ingredients provide long-lasting, preventative and curative control of major plant diseases, including those that have developed resistance to strobilurin fungicides.

- Plant health effects include decreased ethylene production, increased carbon assimilation, increased water and nutrient uptake efficiency.

• Only premix of azoxystrobin and FMC-patented flutriafol. 
• Provides both preventative and curative control on a number of major plant diseases.
• Highly systemic fungicide that helps protect against disease before onset and until the early growth stages; also offers long residual control.
• Two unique modes of action for resistance management and broad-spectrum disease control.
• Improved stress tolerance means healthier plants help maximize yields.
