Reliant Systemic Fungicide, manufactured by Quest Products, is an effective systemic fungicide that provides flexible, effective control of diseases caused by Phytophthora, Pythium, downy mildew, and more across turf, ornamentals, vegetables, fruit and nut trees, and bedding plants.

Unlike many fungicides that act as surface protectants, Reliant is designed to support the plant’s natural defenses while actively inhibiting fungal pathogens.
Reliant Systemic Fungicide is a long-trusted, phosphonate-based fungicide that brings both disease defense and plant growth benefits in one solution. From preventative sprays to curative interventions, nursery dip, basal spray, or chemigation its versatility, safety, and broad-spectrum effectiveness make it a top contender in any plant care plan.
Tools Needed
A chemigation system, backpack sprayer, or spray rig will be needed.
How to Use
- Step 1: Determine how much Reliant Systemic Fungicide to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. Find the square footage by measuring the treatment area's length and width in feet, then multiplying them together (length X width = square footage). For acreage, take the square footage and divide it by one acre (square footage / 43,560 sq. ft. = acres). For turf, apply 5 to 10 fl. oz. of Reliant Systemic Fungicide per 2 gallons of water per 1,000 sq. ft. Refer to the product label for specific application rates and restrictions.
- Step 2: Fill the spray tank with half the amount of water, add the proper amount of product, and pour in the remaining half of the water. Close the tank lid and shake until the product is well-mixed.
- Step 3: Spray the top and bottom of the leaves until wet, but not to the point of runoff. Do not irrigate or mow treated areas until the spray has dried completely.
