Have you ever seen your lawn go from being beautiful and lush to completely dead in spots? While there could be a variety of problems like insect damage, animal damage, or poor nutrition it is common for it to be disease related. Diseases attack plant’s health throughout the season but are commonly seen during the summer months in lawns.
Like lawns, landscape plants can have diseases that negatively affect the plant, and some can cause death. This is where a fungicide comes in. A fungicide is a chemical that kills or reduces the effect of a fungus on a plant.
Cleary’s 3336 F is a fungicide that is effective on ornamental plants and turfgrass and delivers great results on certain diseases.
Active Ingredient
Cleary’s 3336F active ingredient is 41.25% thiophanate-methyl which has preventative and curative actions by systemically flowing through the plant. It can be applied by itself or in combination with other active ingredients. Make sure to jar test for compatibility before tank mixing.
Where Can It Be Applied?
Cleary’s 3336F is safe to apply on home lawns, commercial turf, and golf courses and in annual, perennial, deciduous, and evergreen plants. It is safe on cool- and warm-season grasses making it one of the most versatile fungicide options.
Application Rates
Cleary’s rates change depending on what you are spraying on and where you are spraying it. The biggest thing to watch out for is the maximum rates per year. These are to reduce the chance of fungicide resistance that a disease can develop.
