Serata

A New Mode of Action for Pythium Diseases

Product Overview

Serata® fungicide is powered by the unique active ingredient, picarbutrazox, which is also its own unique mode of action. An ideal tool for your rotational Pythium management program, Serata is a new compound from a new class of chemistry, the tetrazolyl oximes. Serata works by effecting the biosynthesis of phospholipids, which disrupts the normal function of the pathogen's cellular membrane.

Key Benefits

  • New mode of action to control Pythium diseases (FRAC Code U17)
  • For control of Pythium diseases commonly found in warm- and cool-season turfgrasses
  • Active ingredient: Picarbutrazox

Use & Control

This ground-breaking class of chemistry provides control of key Pythium diseases commonly found in warm- and cool-season turfgrasses, including pythium root rot, pythium root dysfunction, pythium blight and pythium damping off.

Picarbutrazox has translaminar activity and no known cross-resistance between it and other oomycete chemistries, making it the new standard for pythium control and resistance management on golf courses, industrial lawns and commercial sites.

  • Pythium Root Rot
