How it Works
Compass^® defines a new class of fungicides: oximinacetate. An oximinacetate fungicide has a high affinity with the plant surface and is absorbed by the waxy layers of the plant. It redistributes at the plant surface by superficial vapor movement and redistribution. It penetrates plant tissue (translaminar activity) but there is little or no transport within the vascular system of the plant. This activity results in a secure reservoir of fungicide that provides long-lasting, weather-protected disease control.


FAQ
Q: How does Compass fit into my spray program on the golf course?
A: Compass is a very versatile product, and fits well for greens, tees and fairway programs. It offers the power of a strobilurin fungicide, but without the high costs and concerns of dollar spot outbreaks. Studies have shown no flaring of dollar spot from applications of Compass; however, it should be tank mixed with a registered dollar spot product for adequate control.

Q: Regulations have reduced the number of chlorothalonil applications allowed per year. Is Compass a good alternative for some of these applications?
A: Yes, Compass also offers broad-spectrum preventative disease control. Compass is absorbed by the waxy layers of the plant and is locally systemic. This mode of action results in long-lasting, weather protected disease control. The low use rates provide affordability for those expensive fairway applications.

Q: Can Compass be used for disease control in lawn care?
A: Yes, Compass is one of the few remaining fungicides registered for use on residential lawns. Compass provides excellent control of brown patch, leaf spot, summer patch and red thread, all at an affordable price.

Q: How does Compass perform for ornamental disease control?
A: Compass provides outstanding control of many important diseases, such as anthracnose, scab and black spot. The low use rates of 1 to 4 ounces per 100 gallons of water also makes it affordable.
