8 The Intrinsic Brand For superintendents to provide top-quality turfgrass, the turf must make the best use of inputs such as carbon and nitrogen while limiting energy wasted on preventing stresses caused by diseases, the environment, and other factors. Agronomic practices such as low mowing heights, reduced nitrogen rates, reduced irrigation inputs, aerification, and other cultural practices can also cause stress to the turf. To maximize turf quality, superintendents target factors they can control to create an ideal environment for turf growth. These factors include agronomic practices to reduce stress, improve quality, and manage pests and diseases. Summary Intrinsic is the umbrella brand for turf and ornamental products that are labeled for disease control and plant health. Intrinsic brand fungicides such as Lexicon Intrinsic brand fungicide, Insignia SC Intrinsic brand fungicide, Honor Intrinsic brand fungicide, and Pillar G Intrinsic brand fungicide for turfgrasses, and Pageant Intrinsic brand fungicide and Empress Intrinsic brand fungicide for ornamentals improve disease control and plant health through inhibition of mitochondrial respiration in fungal diseases and plants. In fungi, inhibition of mitochondrial respiration prevents the breakdown of carbon required for production of energy to fuel fungal growth. This results in death of the fungi. In plants, the inhibition of mitochondrial respiration causes a cascade of positive events that can result in improved tolerance to stresses and increased efficiency of plant physiological processes. Inhibition of mitochondrial respiration by pyraclostrobin results in: The activation of nitrate reductase increases levels of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide triggers plant defense mechanisms. Plant defense mechanisms are important in defending against not only fungal diseases but also bacterial and viral diseases. Nitric oxide inhibits enzymes involved in the production of ethylene, a plant hormone produced in response to stress. Ethylene can cause a plant to drop energycontaining leaves, to mature earlier than normal, and to abort flowers and seed in response to stress. Increased activity of enzymes such as superoxide dismutases and peroxidases that remove harmful activated oxygen species, resulting in reduced oxidative stress in response to environmental disorders, such as physiological leaf spot, ozone damage, cold stress, and heat stress Intrinsic brand fungicides improve plant health, first through superior, broad-spectrum control of fungal diseases, and then through improved tolerance to stress and increased efficiency of plant processes. This enables plants to better withstand disease and a multitude of environmental stresses, resulting in improved turf and plant quality. The Intrinsic family of products from BASF provides disease control and plant health benefits. BASF was the first company to have fungicides in the turfgrass market with plant health benefits on the label. Reduced CO 2 loss by the plant, resulting in more carbon available for plant growth Increased activity of nitrate reductase (NR), the enzyme that is important for making a form of nitrogen that can be used by plants, resulting in more nitrogen available for plant growth Turf Solutions 6

24 Premium, broad-spectrum, postemergence herbicide for the control of bermudagrass and goosegrass in cool-season turf Pylex herbicide is the standard for the control of bermudagrass and goosegrass in cool-season turf, providing unmatched performance on these difficult-to-eliminate weeds. It has also shown excellent control of nimblewill, crabgrass, clover, speedwell, and others. Pylex herbicide should always be used with a methylated seed oil or crop oil concentrate surfactant to improve herbicide coverage, resulting in improved weed control. Pylex herbicide has shown it is safe to most cool-season grasses such as Kentucky bluegrass, tall fescue, fine fescue, and perennial ryegrass. It has shown intermediate tolerance on bentgrass (moderate injury has been observed) and annual bluegrass (minimal to moderate injury) at labeled use rates. Warm-season turfgrasses are sensitive to Pylex herbicide, with the exception of centipedegrass. Use Sites: Golf courses, lawns, athletic fields, sod farms, residential and commercial turfgrass maintenance Formulation: 2.8 SC Packaging: 4 x 8.0 oz. bottles Active Ingredient: Topramezone Behavior in soil: Absorbed by leaves, roots, and shoots. Soon after application, treated weeds turn white and growth stops. Affected weeds then become necrotic and are controlled. Rates: oz./a; ml/1,000 ft. 2 Signal word: CAUTION Pylex herbicide has also shown excellent seeding flexibility by allowing seeding to occur any time after or at time of application. Applications to newly germinated seedlings must be delayed four weeks after initial germination.

25 Insecticides Turf Solutions 23

26 Fast, effective, and affordable Siesta insecticide fire ant bait, with the active ingredient metaflumizone, delivers fast and long-lasting control of native and imported fire ants. Metaflumizone is formulated on corn grit, along with soybean oil, a proven attractant bait for native and imported fire ants. Metaflumizone belongs to a new IRAC (Insecticide Resistance Action Committee) Mode of Action Chemical Group, 22B. Siesta insecticide fire ant bait is the only sodium blocker insecticide (SCBI) that does not require metabolism for bioactivation. The specific site of the insecticidal action is not currently known, but it does act on the insect s nervous system, where it blocks the voltage-dependent sodium neuron channel. As a result, these neurons are inactivated, causing the ant to enter a state described by researchers as relaxed paralysis. Key to Success Siesta insecticide fire ant bait is best applied as a broadcast treatment where foraging ants and mounds that remain hidden or unnoticed receive coverage. Broadcast treatments can be applied to the area using a hand spreader, backpack, or push-type spreader. For larger acreage, spreaders can be attached to an ATV, truck, or tractor to allow for even coverage. Calibrate spreader prior to use to apply a rate of lb./a. Use Sites: Golf courses, residential turfgrass and ornamental landscapes, production field and container nurseries (around greenhouses), sod farms, commercial and industrial areas, recreational areas and school grounds, athletic fields, cemeteries, airports, roadsides, noncrop/nongrazed areas, perimeters of hospitals, nursing homes, and warehouses For more sites, consult label. Formulation: 0.063% metaflumizone active on corn grit bait Packaging: 15 lb. bag and 4 x 1.5 lb. jug/case Active Ingredient: Metaflumizone Use Rates: lb./a applied broadcast to the area. Or, for use in mound treatments using oz. (2-4 level tablespoons) around the mound. Do not apply more than 6.0 lb. of product per acre per year or four applications. Behavior in Ants: Acts primarily through ant ingestion with limited contact activity. Feeding cessation begins quickly, within 15 minutes to 12 hours of ant recruitment of the bait. Insect death normally occurs within 72 hours. See suggested spreader settings. Best applied at first sign of fire ant activity Best applied in temperatures above 60 F, when ants are actively foraging Best applied in early morning (no dew) or late in the afternoon DO NOT water-in granules after application DO NOT apply when the ground is saturated with water or when heavy rains are expected within 12 hours of treatment DO NOT irrigate the treated area following application, allowing time for the ants to forage and pick up the bait Turf Solutions 24

27 A better way to control fire ants Amdro Pro fire ant bait is highly attractive to imported and native fire ants and other ants. Worker ants carry Amdro Pro fire ant bait into the mound as food for the colony, and it is eaten and fed to the queen. Amdro Pro fire ant bait starts to kill ants immediately. In about a week, the queen is dead, which destroys the mound. Delivers proven, cost-effective control of fire ants Provides flexible dose and application options, making it effective when used over large areas or around a single mound Is approved for aerial applications Is approved by USDA APHIS for quarantine treatments for certification around nursery stock, and sod that is being transported between states Control Symptoms Satellite mounds begin to disappear when the broadcast application is made to the entire infested area. Mound Treatments Treatment to the mound followed by the broadcast application will eliminate mounds more rapidly or prevent satellite mounds from developing following rainfall events. Or, use a contact insecticide on the mound as a liquid drench followed by the broadcast application of Amdro Pro fire ant bait. Use Sites: Turf: Athletic fields, commercial grounds, golf courses, lawns, landscaped areas, and sod farms (commercial turf) Ornamentals: Container- or field-grown ornamentals, nonfood-bearing nursery stock, and soil around non-bearing fruit or nut trees Non-cropland areas: Airports, cemeteries, commercial grounds, parks, school and picnic grounds, recreational areas, and roadsides Formulation: 0.73% G (granule) Packaging: 25 lb. bag Active Ingredient: Hydramethylnon Use Rates: Do not apply more than 2 lb./a Individual Mounds: 2-5 level tablespoons Broadcast Treatment: 1 to 1.5 lb./a for imported red fire ants and harvester ants; 2 lb./a for big-headed ants only (2 to 3 oz. per 5,000 ft. 2 ) Key to Success Apply the product when the ants are most active in the afternoon and when the soil temperatures are above 60 F. Avoid applications in the heat of the day. Mounds: Distribute bait uniformly around the mound. Do not disturb the mound. Broadcast treatment: Broadcast bait uniformly with ground (granular spreaders) or aerial equipment. Delay irrigation or water on the bait for 24 hours following application. Vehicle-Mounted Spinner Spreader for Fire Ant Applications Vehicle-mounted spreaders can be mounted to tractors, all-terrain vehicles, utility vehicles, etc., and do not require a PTO hookup. The gate opening on the spreader should be set at 1/8 inch Rate of product is controlled by adjusting ground speed. To apply 1.5 lb. of product per acre, ground speed should be 6 mph Amdro Pro fire ant bait is labeled for aerial applications. Turf Solutions 25
