Eagle 20EW Specialty Fungicide

Eagle 20EW Specialty Fungicide, manufactured by DOW/CORTEVA, is a reliable fungicide used for curative and preventative control of various plant diseases on turf and ornamental plants.

A single application of Eagle 20EW can protect plants for up to 28 days. The great thing about Eagle 20EW is that you only need a small amount to do the job—it's that strong.

Eagle 20EW Speciality Fungicide is a versatile fungicide that works systemically, affecting the entire plant to fully protect it and remove any disease.

Tools Needed

You will need a handheld pump, hose-end, or backpack sprayer for residential spray treatments. Our top recommendation is a hand-pump sprayer.

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much Eagle 20 EW you will need by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. To do this, measure the length and width of the treatment area in feet and then multiply the two values (length x width = square footage). The recommended rate of Eagle 20EW is 1 to 2.4 fl. oz. per 1,000 square feet. Depending on the diseases you wish to treat, you should mix with 1 gallon of water for foliar diseases or 2 to 3 gallons to control diseases causing root and crown rots. The exact amount varies depending on the disease type (check the label). For example, if you want to control dollar spot on turfgrass and measure an area of 3,000, the label states to use 1 fl. oz. per 1,000 sq. ft. In this case, mix 3 oz. of Eagle in 3 gallons of water to cover the entire area.
• Step 2: In a hand-pump sprayer, add about halfway water and then Eagle 20EW at the appropriate rate based on your calculations. Fill the tank the rest of the way with water, then agitate well until the product is well mixed.
• Step 3: Apply the Eagle 20EW spray solution as a spot treatment upon the first sign of the disease to the foliage, or you could spray the solution preventatively. We recommend setting the sprayer to a fan spray to get a nice uniform coating on the infected plant.
• Step 4: Reapply as needed every 7 to 10 days until the disease is gone or preventatively once a month during the disease season. Depending on the disease type, it may take up to two months of repeat applications to successfully remove the disease.

Where to Use

Eagle 20EW is a versatile formula that can be used to prevent or cure diseases found on established turfgrass (including residential and commercial lawns, ornamental turfgrass, grounds or lawns around business and office complexes, and golf course fairways, roughs, tee boxes, and greens), landscape ornamentals, greenhouse and nursery ornamentals, and non-commercial tree fruits and vines, specifically apples, stone fruits, and grapes.

When to Use

Use any time of the year when you notice a fungal disease on your lawn or ornamentals. You can also apply it preventatively during the growing season. Optimum disease control is achieved when Eagle 20 is applied in a regularly scheduled preventative program.

Safety Information

Eagle 20 EW is safe to use around children and pets when applied according to the product label instructions. Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when mixing and applying this product.

Do not allow people or pets to enter treated areas until 24 hours have passed after application.

Special Considerations

After a spray treatment, avoid mowing or watering your lawn for at least 24 hours to allow the product to dry. This product can also be applied with adjuvants, fungicides, herbicides, micronutrients, etc, check the label for compatibility spray charts, rates and precautions. You should always perform a small compatibility test in a small jar to see that all the products will dilute completely and that the final mixture does not show uneven distribution.
