28. Technical Info
Interface is a powerful combination of iprodione and trifloxystrobin plus
StressGard Formulation Technology. Its non-DMI chemistry makes it effective on
disease without resistance issues or turf-thinning that DMIs can cause.
29. Formulation & Application
Formulation / Packaging
Interface is available as a suspension concentrate formulation at 2 x 2.5 gallons
per case.
Application Rates
The recommended application rate for Interface is between 3 and 7 oz./1,000
square feet, depending on the disease pressure and desired spray interval.
Lower rates should be used for preventive treatments that should be applied
when conditions are favorable for disease development. Higher use rates are
important when the disease is already present or when high levels of disease are
anticipated, such as with snow mold, and when re-treats are not possible for an
extended period.
