Taking Pythium and Anthracnose by Storm
Alude is Cleary’s solution to prevention of pythium and anthracnose on fine turf. Alude is a unique, stable liquid formulation of the phosphonate class of fungicides that does not contain aluminum like some of the other pythium materials. Since Alude does not contain Aluminum it takes less time to be absorbed by the plant. This provides the plant with protection within hours after application and that protection remains strong for up to 14 days. The absence of Aluminum also increases the breadth of materials that can be combined with Alude in the spray tank. This can translate to fewer spray applications which means a time and labor savings when you most need it, in the heat of the summer.....more
Alude is a phosphonate fungicide. Formulas of fungicides in this group need to be stabilized to prevent loss of activity in the bottle and extend shelf life. When you make an application of Alude, it converts to the active form within 6 hours. Compare that to other fungicides in this group that are stabilized with aluminum ions. In aluminum-stabilized formulations, the active ingredient has to shed the aluminum ion before it is active. Shedding the aluminum ion can take several days, delaying your fungicide protection. So try Alude. It’s an efficaceous and cost effective way of controlling Pythium. Your turf will thank you.

There is a great economic and performance benefit in being able to spray a mixture of chemicals at the same time. The beneficial results have at times been astounding, and once the art has been mastered the chemical operator will never go back to the old-fashioned notion that chemicals must be sprayed one at a time because of concerns about phytotoxicity. This need not be the case if one has a thorough, but simple, understanding of the nature of the chemicals one is spraying....more
