in the management of fairy ring. This 2ee recommendation has been submitted to all states where Torque is currently registered. For additional information and directions for this use, please download

New TORQUE™ Fungicide

Cleary Chemical is proud to announce new TORQUE™ Fungicide with EPA acceptance dated April 28, 2010. TORQUE represents the first Tebuconazole formulation labeled for turf and ornamental uses.
This new, easy-mixing water-based suspension formula, contains 3.6 lb AI/gallon and provides highly effective and long lasting disease management. “TORQUE is a game changer for the industry, and will finally provide superintendents with the superiority of Tebuconazole”, said Rick Fletcher, Director of Product Development. “This active ingredient has a long development history and excellent track
record for turf disease management.” TORQUE is a DMI class product and is labeled for major turf

New Affirm WDG Turf and Ornamental Fungicide

Cleary Chemical introduced new Affirm™ WDG Turf and Ornamental Fungicide at the 2010 GIS in
San Diego, CA as a replacement for Endorse WP. Affirm WDG represents a new 11.3% Polyoxin D formulation, which is 4.5 times more concentrated than Endorse. This new, easy mixing WDG formula provides the same effective disease management previously developed by Cleary for turf and
ornamental uses, at a much lower, 2.4 lb per acre use rate. “In turf, the new 2.4 lbs per acre rate will greatly assist superintendents by reducing the solids suspended in their application equipment,” said
Rick Fletcher, Director of Product Development. “This will be a huge benefit to the many
superintendents that tank mix products on a regular basis.” “In addition, this will be a great benefit
to ornamental growers looking to reduce plant residues.” Affirm provides a unique mode of action
and is labeled for major turf and ornamental diseases.

New LEGEND™ Turf and Ornamental Fungicide

This new, easy-mixing water-based suspension provides exceptional plant coverage and sticking power for a variety of turf and ornamental uses.
“Side by side research at leading universities has repeatedly demonstrated the high level of product performance you have come to expect from Cleary,” said Rick Fletcher, Director of Product Development. "LEGEND, with our unique RAINKOTE formulation, displays the EPA signal word of CAUTION, making it one of the few Chlorothalonil products that can make this claim in the industry. In addition, it allows Cleary to further expand our product offerings and better define our resistance management program
for the turf and ornamental markets”. LEGEND is labeled for major turf diseases such as Dollar Spot, Brown Patch, Brown Ring or Waitea Patch, Basal Rot Anthracnose, and Snow Molds.
