Proplant™ Turf and Ornamental Fungicide Added to Advan LLC Product Lineup

Advan LLC continues to broaden its product line with its introduction of Proplant™ turf and ornamental fungicide, making it the first alternative supplier of the propamocarb hydrochloride active ingredient. Comparable to Bayer Environmental Sciences Banol® product, Proplant prevents and cures many Pythium diseases, including damping off, cottony blight, grease spot and root rot on turfgrass and ornamental plants.

Robert Yarborough, T&O Business Unit Manager, said, “This is a popular fungicide, and for good reason. The active ingredient in Proplant is extremely versatile. Turfgrass managers value its flexibility because it can be used at virtually any stage of turf growth. If needed, Proplant can keep color beds virtually disease-free, too.”

Proplant is highly systemic, so it is quickly absorbed and translocated through the grass plant. It has a multi-site mode of action that helps prevent resistance problems. Proplant can be applied following germination or to established turf. And it can be used during all stages of ornamental production to prevent root rot and damping off caused by Pythium spp. and Phytophthora spp.
