Cygnus® Fungicide
Better Control of Powdery Mildew and More
Cygnus® fungicide offers economical, effective control of powdery mildew, rusts, scab diseases and leaf spot diseases in greenhouse, retail nurseries, non-residential landscape ornamentals and nursery crops. In fact, it is one of the top-performing fungicides for powdery mildew on the market. When used as directed, Cygnus:
-
Delivers excellent, long-term protection from powdery mildew.
-
Provides highly effective control of rust diseases, scab diseases and fungal leaf spots.
-
Has demonstrated excellent crop safety. Cygnus can be applied to petunia, pansy and impatiens species, apples, crabapples and Yoshino cherries for control of foliar pathogens, as compared to trifloxystrobin and azoxystrobin where species-specific crop injury is an issue.
-
Employs a unique uptake and transport method for kresoxim-methyl, the active ingredient in Cygnus, by combining Surface Systemic Activity™ and translaminar movement within the leaf tissue.
-
Provides control of infecting fungi by inhibiting spore germination and surface mycelial growth on or just below the leaf surface. The antisporulant activity of Cygnus contributes to long residual activity.
-
Can be applied as a spray or drench in protective or early curative applications.

Keys to Success
For best results, use Cygnus preventively when environmental conditions are favorable for disease development. Apply foliar spray solution to runoff. Thorough foliar coverage is important to ensure adequate plant protection. Use of organosilicone-based spray adjuvants in tank mixes with Cygnus carries a higher potential of injury on certain ornamentals. Use of non-organosilicone adjuvants may improve rust and powdery mildew control. Cygnus can be tank-mixed with other fungicides to broaden the spectrum of control or to limit disease resistance. Since the compatibility of Cygnus with all other pesticides has not been fully investigated, it is advisable to perform a compatibility test prior to mixing products together in a tank mix. Refer to product label for additional information.
