Product overview


An exciting high performance turf fungicide, with MAXX formulation makes BANNER MAXX faster and more reliable.


The exciting features of new advanced BANNER MAXX makes it the perfect choice for the control of dollar spot, brown patch, powdery mildew, rust, anthracnose and leaf spot on turf. 
Rates from 3.2-6 l/ha depending on disease type, severity and weather conditions.

Fast Acting Systemic

The new MAXX formulation is a blend of surfactants along with the active ingredient that have been specifically designed to be turf grass friendly (i.e. not phytotoxic) and stable in the bottle/tank. The AI is held in very  small particles called micelles. These small particles improved the entry of the AI into the plant via stomata allowing a faster uptake after application.

~1400 Primo Maxx particles can fit across each stomata.



~1400 Primo Maxx particles can fit across each stomata. 

Faster uptake and rainfastness makes BANNER MAXX especially valuable in wet or high humidity conditions that create high  risk conditions for Dollar Spot outbreaks.
BANNER MAXX works with the highly systemic movement of the active in the leaf – it does not rely on any vapour activity, which is inherently susceptible to environmental loss.
The fast uptake stops disease and quickly pr events damage to leaf  cells - enabling continued healthy photosynthetic activity to grow stronger turf.

BANNER MAXX targets turf disease mycelial growth inside the leaf, providing early curative control before infection damage affects turf quality. 

Fast uptake, fast movement, fast disease control, long lasting results

TURF DISEASE WARNING

Forewarning of imminent turf disease attacks ensures disease protection application at the optimum time to prevent infection and damage to  playing surface quality.
The Syngenta GREENCAST turf management website gives a unique five-day forecast of impending disease risk for Dollar Spot and other key  turf diseases.
Furthermore, a five-day forecast of spray window opportunities enables spraying at the best possible time and can ensure BANNER MAXX protection is in place when high disease risk hits.
GREENCAST also contains a wealth of turf management information to  help greenkeepers and turf  managers’ decisions.

APPLICATION ADVISE

BANNER MAXX can be applied in a low water volume. Reduced water volume minimises the number of tanks and the time required to spray the course, and helps to achieve the optimum spray timing.
Apply BANNER MAXX using a medium to fine spray pattern to achieve good coverage of the leaf. Avoid over-wetting the leaf that can lead to spray runoff.
​The low application rate of just 3 l/ha and the easy to use Syngenta S-Pac enables safe and secure handling for faster sprayer filling, to save time and speed up spraying.
