How Truban 25 EC Works
Truban uses etridiazole to provide fungicidal activity against susceptible Pythium and Phytophthora pathogens.
Because these pathogens can attack plant roots, crowns, and stems, proper application timing and coverage of the appropriate growing media or plant areas are important components of an effective disease-management program.
Truban can provide both preventive and curative activity, according to the manufacturer's current product information.
