Prime Source, a division of Albaugh, LLC, is pleased to announce the launch of two new products including a fungicide, Oxem 4ME Select™, and a miticide, Hexamite® 1AQ Select. These products have received EPA registration and will be available for purchase this fall.
Oxem 4ME Select™ is a concentrated, microemulsion formulation containing metalaxyl-M (mefenoxam) for the systemic control of diseases on turf, including golf courses and residential lawns, as well as in ornamental sites including nurseries, greenhouses, shade houses, lath houses, and other production sites and structures, residential and commercial landscapes, and interior plantscapes. Diseases controlled include Pythium blight, Pythium damping-off and yellow tuft (downy mildew) in turf, and damping-off, root and stem diseases caused by Pythium and Phytophthora spp., and foliar diseases such as downy mildew and those caused by Phytophthora spp., including P. ramorum.
Hexamite® 1AQ Select contains the miticide hexythiazox for the control of many species of plant parasitic mites through activity on eggs and immature stages. Control is achieved from either direct contact with the spray or from contact with treated plant surfaces. Through its ovicidal activity, Hexamite® 1AQ Select controls newly deposited mite eggs and eggs which are laid after application. Hexamite® 1AQ Select is also highly effective in controlling immature motile stages of target mite species that are sprayed or move onto treated surfaces.
