SCORPIO®
SCORPIO® water dispersible granule containing 500g/kg (50.0% w/w) trifloxystrobin. SCORPIO® has a revolutionary mesostemic mode of action, delivering highly efficient preventative and curative control of a broad spectrum of turf diseases including Fusarium and Red Thread in the UK.

Extensive global trials have shown that the following diseases are controlled by SCORPIO®:

• Fusarium Patch - Leaf Spot


• Red Thread - Rust


• Summer Patch - Brown Patch


• Take-All - Grey Leaf Spot

NB Do not apply during drought conditions or to frozen turf.

How SCORPIO® Works:

SCORPIO® uses a revolutionary mesostemic mode of action, delivering a highly efficient preventative and curative control of a broad spectrum of turf diseases including Fusarium and Red Thread.

• Highly effective against disease with proven new chemistry


• Unique mesostemic activity leading to both preventative and curative activity against Fusarium and Red Thread


• Small pack size equates to adaptability of use and reduced disposal / transportation costs


• Excellent rainfast properties


• Long, residual activity of up to 56 days


• Effective in cold conditions


• Top selling strobilurin fungicide in the US since 1999

Application Timing

Apply at the first sign of disease. SCORPIO® can also be used in a preventative control programme.

Rainfastness

Once the spray application has dried on the leaf surface, rainfall will not interfere with its ability to control disease, due to the locked in reservoir of protection being created. SCORPIO® has been proven to be rainfast within 2 hrs of application. Application in low temperatures It has been proven that SCORPIO® can be applied at low temperatures, as long as the contents of the tank/knapsack remain as a liquid, and that there is no snow cover.

Use Areas

SCORPIO® may be used on established turf including:

• Golf courses - Parks


• Institutional, commercial and residential lawns


• Municipal grounds


• Cemeteries


• Sports fields

Unique Mesostemic Mode of Action
The advantages of this are:

• The unique chemistry at work in SCORPIO® defines a new class of fungicides: oximinacetates.


• Oximinacetates have a high affinity with the plant surface and is absorbed readily by the waxy layers of the plant.


• It redistributes at the plant surface by superficial vapour movement and penetrates the plant tissue.


• There is little or no movement within the plant’s vascular system so SCORPIO® becomes embedded or locked-in, providing long lasting, weather-proof disease protection.

Mixing

Add the required quantity of SCORPIO® to the half-filled spray tank with the agitation system in operation and then fill to the required level. Continue agitation at all times during spraying and stoppages until the tank is completely empty. Spray immediately after mixing. Wash out all spray equipment thoroughly with water immediately after use.

Scorpio as part of a Disease Control
Management Programme
SCORPIO® can be applied as part of a disease management programme. It is a perfect partner for Chipco® Green which contains the active ingredient Iprodione. When used in a programmed approach through the year (with Chipco® Green applied in the Winter with its contact properties) and SCORPIO® in the Spring/ Autumn (with its systemic properties), you are utilising two actives in two different fungicide groups, both affecting the fungi by different methods. This means the fungi will be controlled within a disease control management programme. Bayer Environmental Science are a professional organisation in the amenity industry and we provide the following advice on the use of all strobilurin products: SCORPIO® belongs to the strobilurin class of chemistry and certain fungal pathogens
are known to develop resistance to strobilurin products, if used repeatedly. A recommended programme would be to rotate SCORPIO® with Chipco® Green (containing actives from different chemical groups/modes of action) as advised above.

NB. There have been no cases of fungicide resistance with the strobilurins in managed amenity turf in the UK and we look for this to continue with careful stewardship.

Application in low temperatures

It has been proven that SCORPIO® can be applied at low temperatures, as long as the contents of the tank/knapsack remain as a liquid, and that there is no snow cover.
