California Registers Albaugh Fungicide for Use in Multiple Food Crops
May 13, 2024 Albaugh received registration from the California Dept. of Pesticide Regulation for its Thrive 4M fungicide, a systemic fungicide that contains the active ingredient metalaxyl-M (mefenoxam).
Thrive 4M protects against soil-borne Oomycete diseases, including Pythium and Phytophthora spp., in potato, tree nut, fruit, vegetable, and other labeled crops, and may be applied using ground, aerial or chemigation methods.
The formulation technology of Thrive 4M also provides excellent handling and storage.
“Thrive 4M is a great addition to Albaugh’s fungicide portfolio that strengthens our product offerings for customers in our California specialty crop markets,” Andy Bogue, Albaugh U.S. Sales Director-Crop Protection, says. “Not only does it provide an alternative option for disease protection on a myriad of crops, it also gives growers the added benefit of improved plant stands, root health, and crop vigor.”
