Subdue Maxx Fungicide

Subdue Maxx Fungicide, manufactured by Syngenta, is a systemic fungicide which contains no odor and mixes into a clear solution.

As a systemic fungicide, this product travels evenly throughout the plant, ensuring total protection for at least six weeks. The odorless formulation makes it bearable for applicators to enjoy lawns and landscape areas. 

Subdue Maxx Fungicide has broad-spectrum control of a variety of common diseases, including pythium blight and pythium damping-off. It also delivers systemic activity, providing even distribution throughout the plant.

Tools Needed

You will need a hose-end sprayer, handheld pump sprayer, backpack sprayer, or spray rig. For small household jobs, we recommend a handheld 1-gallon pump sprayer or a hose-end sprayer.

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much Subdue Maxx Fungicide you will need for your application 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 multiply them together (length x width = square footage). For foliar applications, Subdue Maxx can be mixed at a rate of 0.50 to 1.0 ounces in 1 to 5 gallons of water per 1,000 square feet. So, for example, if you calculated a 2,500 sq. ft. area to be treated, you would need to mix 1.25 to 2.5 fl. oz. in at least 3 gallons of water.
• Step 2: Fill your sprayer halfway with the required amount of water and add the appropriate measured amount of Subdue Maxx. Fill with the remaining half of water and close the lid. Agitate the sprayer until the solution is well mixed, and you will be ready to spray.
• Step 3: Spray the fungicide onto the plant leaf, placing the sprayer on a fan spray nozzle setting for even coverage. Repeat applications can be made at 10 to 21-day intervals if necessary.
