Velista

VELISTA is a powerful, broad spectrum fungicide that can be used all year round. Backed by science, it keeps your turf in excellent condition especially when the temperature and humidity soar.

VELISTA’s success comes from a new active ingredient called penthiopyrad: (SDHI) fungicide. Penthiopyrad exhibits translaminar and localised xylem systemic movement on treated turf, and as a Group 7 SDHI fungicide, shuts down pathogen growth and development. The result is a broad spectrum, turf-specific formulation that is proven to deliver excellent results.

VELISTA is the first turf registered option for controlling Fairy Ring, Leaf and Sheath Spot and Brown Ring Patch in New Zealand. It controls a wide range of diseases, including Anthracnose, Dollar Spot and Brown Patch. VELISTA also controls summer diseases that place stress on greens when the temperature shifts from warm to hot.

  • Spring and autumn are ideal seasons to use VELISTA for cleaning up greens, tees and fairways. You don’t need to mix it with anything else, unless you are treating Pythium in your turf.
  • When applying VELISTA to your turf, target the areas that you want to protect against disease. Begin applications before or at the early stages of disease development. If conditions continue to favour disease, use the higher rate and/or shorter intervals, as per the label directions.
  • To treat and protect against foliar and crown diseases like Anthracnose and Pink Patch, apply to the crown in approx. 400 L of water/ha. This will allow VELISTA to enter at the crown and leaf and move locally within the plant.
