Honor Guard PPZ Fungicide (Compare to Banner Maax)

Honor Guard PPZ Fungicide with Propiconazole 14.3% is a systemic fungicide that has a broad spectrum of target diseases. It kills and controls disease on turf and ornamentals on such problems as Powdery Mildew, Rust, Brown Patch, Pink Patch, Red Thread, Gray Leafspot, and Stripe Smut.

With use low rates, for most diseases, you use between 0.5 -2 oz of Honor Guard PPZ per 1,000 square feet.

Honor Guard PPZ Fungicide Uses

Honor Guard PPA is to be used preventively to control diseases.
To ensure thorough coverage, use plenty of water.
Allow sprayed area to dry before irrigation when treating foliar diseases.
Either allow sprayed area to dry completely before mowing or apply after mowing.
Honor Guard PPZ controls soil-borne diseases; water in Honor Guard Fungicide after application.
Use a higher rate of Honor Guard and shorter intervals, when there are optimum conditions for high disease pressure.
Use Honor Guard PPZ with good turf management practices for optimum turf quality and disease control.
Before using spray additives, evaluate the additive.
Properly diagnose the disease before using any fungicide, including Honor Guard PPZ.
Limit application to no more 16 oz per 1,000 ft per year and no more than 5.4 gals. of Honor Guard PPZ per acre per year.
Since Bermudagrass is sensitive to propiconazole, do not apply more than 4 oz per 1,000 ft every 30 days or any Bermudagrass. When temperatures exceed 90°F, do not apply Honor Guard PPZ to Bermudagrass on golf course greens.

Turfgrass -Specific Disease, Rates and Application Timing

Disease	Fl oz per 1,000 sq.ft.	Fl oz per acre	Application Interval/ Timing	Instructions
Dollar Spot (Sclerotinia homoeocarpa)	1-2	44-88	14-28 days	Make no more than 3 consecutive applications, if using 1-2 fl oz per 1,000 sq ft without tank mixing for dollar spot control, before switching and rotating to an alternate fungicide having a different mode of action.

If disease is present, mix 2 fl. oz. of Honor Guard PPZ per 1,000 sq ft with the label rate of contact fungicides with chlorothalonil for broad spectrum control.
Brown Patch (Rhizoctonia solani)	1-2	44-88	14-21 days	Before disease is present, begin to apply Honor Guard in May or June. If there is high humidity or high temperatures, use higher rates and shorter intervals in application. For brown patch control, tank mix with a fungicide labeled for brown patch control.
Powdery Mildew (Erysiphe graminis), Rust (Puccinia graminis)	1-2	44-88	14-28 days	Apply when conditions are favorable for disease development. If disease is present, use 2 fl. oz. of Honor Guard PPZ per 1,000 sq ft.

Melting out, Leaf Spot (Bipolaris spp.) (Drechsleraspp.)	1-2	44-176	14 days	Under light to moderate pressure, apply Honor Guard PPZ to reduce the severity of leaf spot and melting out caused by Helminthosporium-type pathogens. For broad spectrum disease control, tank mix the 1 fl. oz. Honor Guard PPZ rate with a registered contact fungicide at the label rate. Tank mix the 1-2 fl. oz. per 1,000 sq. ft. Honor Guard PPZ rate with a registered contact fungicide at the label rate.
