lobal crop protection
G manufacturer Nufarm has teamed up with Agrigem , the amenity and sports turf products specialist , to deliver Plazma , a brand new systemic fungicide , carefully crafted for sports surface disease management . The joint venture will see Plazma benefitting from Nufarm ’ s one hundred years as a leading manufacturer combined with Agrigem ’ s dedicated workforce of technical experts and distribution network .
Agrigem and Nufarm have identified a gap in the market for a highly effective , broad spectrum fungicide . Available in one litre bottles , the industry leading 250g per litre concentration of Azoxystrobin means the active ingredient is delivered quicker , acts faster and has a higher protectant action than other broad spectrum fungicides .
It has long been known that Azoxystrobin targets diseases such as Fusarium Patch , Take‐All Patch ,
Brown Patch , Leaf Spot , Rust Diseases , Fairy Rings & Anthracnose . Plazma , with a high concentration of Azoxystrobin has shown to have a particular effectiveness against Dollar Spot and works even in high humidity conditions such as stadiums . The active ingredient travels through the plant , inhibiting fungal respiration and prevents disease by systemic , translaminar and protectant activity .
Available in cost effective 1 litre bottles , Plazma is set to be a game changer in the world of sports
turf management . Areas such as golf , bowling greens , sports pitches and tennis courts that suffer from unsightly turf diseases can be targeted to ensure your turf is always looking its best .
Launched in the UK on June 1st 2021 , Plazma is available to buy now and has already seen excellent uptake within the sports and amenity turf management industry . As the exclusive supplier , Agrigem has a wealth of technical knowledge as well as experts throughout the country who can advise and visit your ground to ensure you are getting the results you need from your products .
Whilst only currently available in the UK , there are plans to launch in Ireland later this year . In the meantime Plazma is in stock for next day delivery , online or through your Agrigem account manager .
