The systemic pesticide product Subdue MAXX is used to get rid of downy mildew. Its patented formula works both above and below ground to completely stop and cure sickness.
Key Features
Subdue MAXX is a great choice for farmers and landscapers because it protects the whole plant, can be used in many ways, and has long-lasting effects.
Systemic Fungicide:
- Root, Stem, and Foliar Protection: Subdue MAXX protects the plant from both soil-borne and foliar diseases by going through the vascular system and being taken in by the whole plant. For example, it works really well against damping-off, root and stem rots (Pythium and Phytophthora), and leaf diseases like Downy Mildew.
Broad Application:
- Labelled Uses: Subdue MAXX is labelled for the following uses:
- Ornamentals: Excellent for ornamental plants in nursery and landscaping.
- Leaves/Fruit/Trees: Protects trees from numerous common diseases on trees.
- Non-fruit/Nut-Bearing Trees: Is suitable for non-bearing fruit/nut trees. Also perfect for use on unproductive trees in the orchard.
- Landscapes and Interiorscapes: This product can be used in outdoor landscapes or indoors, including in conservatories for a wide range of disease control.
Long-Lasting Control:
- Extended Protection: Subdue MAXX provides control of diseases longer, means fewer applications of fungicide and increased plant protection.
Highly Effective Against Pythium and Phytophthora:
- Pythium and Phytophthora Control: Some of the most destructive plant diseases, including root and stem rots, are caused by these pathogens. Subdue MAXX effectively controls these diseases on the roots to discourage blight and enhance root structure for better, healthier plants.
Foliar Disease Control:
- Downy Mildew: It also controls foliar diseases such as Downy Mildew and is a key tool to stop the spread of this destructive disease on susceptible plants.

- Dilution: Dilute Subdue MAXX as directed on the label. It varies with the plant and disease you are trying to treat. Shake well to coat well with the flavors.
2. Application Methods:
- Drench Application: It can be sprayed as a soil drench for disease control, such as Pythium and Phytophthora, where the solution penetrates deep into the root zone for complete systemic uptake.
- Foliar Application: For diseases such as downy mildew, spray the entire plant, especially the leaves. For best protection, ensure thorough coverage of all foliage.
3. Frequency:
