Golfdom’s Hot List: A Q&A with Corteva Agriscience

Beverly Horton, portfolio marketing lead, Corteva Agriscience

How can the Corteva Agriscience turf portfolio improve operational efficiency and enhance the player experience? 

With the recent trends of heavier spring rainfall and higher summer temperatures, diseases like dollar spot and gray leaf spot are becoming more common. Changing weather patterns and increasing demands on labor also mean that superintendents must be ready at any opportunity to make fungicide treatments, making application flexibility as critical as the disease-control spectrum. That’s where Floxcor fungicide from Corteva Agriscience comes in. 

Floxcor fungicide uses the active ingredient fluoxastrobin to control more than 26 turf diseases, including dollar spot, brown patch, anthracnose and gray leaf spot. Floxcor is taken up quickly and moved further in the plant than other strobilurins, making Floxcor rainfast in as little as 15 minutes — a real-world usability advantage. Floxcor can be tank-mixed or rotated with Eagle 20EW specialty fungicide for control of a wider range of diseases, without the PGR effects of other fungicides. In short, Floxcor is the perfect choice to include in your disease management program. 

But Floxcor is only part of the exciting future of Corteva. As you read this, our research and development scientists are evaluating the next generation of fungicides — products that promise to give you even more options for managing your toughest turf disease challenges.  

We live our commitment to golf by delivering the products you need to keep your course looking and playing its best. Innovations in more effective and easier-to-use active ingredients and weather-fast technologies allow you to control problem diseases and other pests.
