Bayer Chipco 26019 FLO Fungicide - 2.5 Gallons (2/Cs) (72/Plt)
About this product
The Bayer Chipco fungicide line (now under Envu Environmental Science, following Bayer's turf and ornamental business transition) includes several professional-grade products renowned for broad-spectrum disease control on turfgrass and ornamentals. The most prominent and commonly referenced is Chipco 26019 FLO, a versatile contact fungicide with the active ingredient iprodione (23.3% in the FLO formulation).
This foliar-applied fungicide offers both preventive and curative action, making it a staple for managing key turf diseases on golf courses, sod farms, sports fields, institutional landscapes, and ornamental plantings.
Primary Applications
- Golf course greens, tees, fairways, and roughs
- Sod production
- Commercial and residential lawns
- Nursery and greenhouse ornamentals (foliar spray, drench, or dip)
Key Diseases Controlled
- Anthracnose
- Brown patch (Rhizoctonia)
- Dollar spot
- Gray snow mold (Typhula and Microdochium)
- Leaf spot/melting out
- Fusarium blight
- Large patch
- Botrytis blight
- Alternaria
- Rhizoctonia stem and root rot
Key Features and Benefits
- Broad-spectrum efficacy — Provides reliable control of over 30 fungal pathogens
- Flexible application methods — Foliar spray, soil drench, bulb/corm dip, or injection through irrigation systems
- Resistance management — Belongs to FRAC Group 2 (dicarboximide); ideal for rotation or tank-mixing with products like Aliette or Signature to prevent resistance
- Long residual activity — Up to 14–21 days of protection depending on rate and conditions
- Tank-mix compatible — Works well with many other fungicides for expanded spectrum control
- Safe on established turf — Compatible with cool-season and warm-season grasses when used as directed
General Specifications
- Formulation — Suspension concentrate (FLO) or wettable granule/powder variants
- Packaging — Typically 2.5-gallon jugs for FLO; smaller containers for ornamental use
- Application rates — Vary by disease and site (e.g., 3–8 fl oz per 1,000 sq ft for turf)
- REI (Restricted Entry Interval) — 12–24 hours depending on site
Other notable products in the historical Chipco lineup include Chipco Signature (systemic, fosetyl-Al based for Pythium and plant health enhancement) and Chipco Triton (triticonazole-based DMI with StressGard technology). However, "Chipco fungicide" most frequently refers to the iprodione-based 26019 series in professional turf management.
Always follow current label instructions, as formulations and registrations may vary by region.
