Honor fungicide combines boscalid, the active ingredient in Emerald® fungicide, and pyraclostrobin, the active ingredient in Insignia® fungicide. Ideal for greens, tees and fairways, Honor's two modes of action deliver playability to greens and control of diseases, including patch diseases, anthracnose, dollar spot and leaf spot.

Tower hetower.jpgrbicide provides preemergent control of more than 50 small-seeded grassy and broadleaf weeds and sedges including goosegrass and yellow nutsedge. Tower can be applied to cool- and warm-season turfgrass on tees, fairways, roughs and other amenity turfgrass around common areas on the golf course. Tower is also labeled for use on residential and commercial ornamental landscape and grounds maintenance. For added weed control, Tower is an ideal tank-mix partner with Pendulum® AquaCap™ herbicide.
