Description
FMC Fame SC is formulated with fluoxastrobin, which is a new age strobilurin fungicide. It works by preventing fungi from being able to produce the energy they need in their cells. Once applied, it travels through the leaf tissue and into the plant’s water system. It also enters roots and moves up, shielding new growth.
Active Ingredient and How It Works
Fame SC is a strobilurin fungicide with the active ingredient fluoxastrobin. It suffocates fungi supposedly by preventing them from breathing, so they can’t grow and spread. It moves through plant tissues from the time of application and offers inside-out protection.
Uses and Target Diseases
Fame SC is labeled for:
- Turfgrass: Lawns, golf courses, athletic fields.
- Field-Grown Ornamentals: Trees, shrubs, and container plants.
- Greenhouses and Interiorscapes: Flowers and decorative plants indoors.
- Landscape Areas: Parks and gardens around homes and businesses.
It controls:
- Leaf Diseases: Brown patch, dollar spot, powdery mildew, leaf spots.
- Stem Diseases: Blights that affect stems and flowers.
- Root Diseases: Pythium damping-off, root rots, snow mold.
How to Apply
Use as a leaf spray on foliage or as a soil drench:
- Spray evenly over leaves and stems. Ensure that plant surfaces are thoroughly moist with water droplets.
- Water flows down into the roots at the plant base. This allows plants to absorb the fungicide by way of their roots.
- Allow spray droplets to dry before mowing or watering. This helps the product remain on plants for longer.
Rates and Timing
The right rate and timing are critical to maximizing results:
- Turf Fairways: 4–5.4 fl oz per 1,000 sq ft every 7–14 days.
- Turf Tees & Greens: 5.4–9.5 fl oz per 1,000 sq ft, depending on how bad the disease is.
- Ornamentals: 1–2 fl oz per 100 gallons of water every 14–28 days.
Don't use more than the maximum annual rate printed on the label. Read and follow label directions.
