BASF launches new Honor™ fungicide and Tower® herbicide
BASF Professional Turf & Ornamentals today announced its launch of Honor™ fungicide, a combination of two industry-leading active ingredients, and Tower® herbicide, which features dimethenamid-P, a new active ingredient for the turf market. Both products give golf course superintendents broad-spectrum control to help them optimize applications.

Golf course superintendents can benefit from additional savings up to 8 percent through the BASF Early Order program, on now through Dec. 11, 2009. Click here to download a PDF order form.

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 herbicide 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.
