Secure Fungicide
Secure Fungicide
Secure Fungicide by Syngenta is a multi-site contact fungicide designed only for treating golf courses. It contains the active ingredient Fluazinam, which does an excellent job against a wide range of fungal diseases and has a low risk of resistance. Secure not only provides superior protection against common golf course issues like dollar spot, but other hard-to-control turf diseases as well.
It is recommended to use the product in rotation with Daconil Action Fungicide for season long protection.

To apply Secure Fungicide you will need either a backpack sprayer or a hand-pump sprayer or a spray rig for large courses.
