Is it true that ringer for worm control.Can also help with small outbreaks of fuserium.On a cricket square.
Thanks

Probably not, it used to be, but you would be breaking the law, because twice the rate would be required to control fuzz compared to worm-cast control and it is only labelled as a worm-cast control product!

Grafter,
as Ken says you would be breaking the law, Carbendazim the active ingrediant in ringer was banned as a fungicide a couple of years ago. DONT BE TEMPTED its not worth it

im now an ex groundsman but hey old habits die hard

Carbendazim was never that great at controlling Fusarium anyway, hence it has not had its label reccomendation continued.
When applied as a Lumbricide at 4 Ltrs per Ha you will undoubtedly get some benifits of slight fungicidal protection, but if you have disease use a fungicide sold for the purpose.

I used to find that Mascot Systemic (Ringer's predecessor) worked great on Fuzzy and worms but only if used in conjunction with the Mascot sward adjuvent. It increased it's effectiveness from 1 month to 4.

Carbendazim has lost it's approval for use on fus as was only any use as a preventative when the grass was actively growing. That is why it is no longer an approved fungicide.
