KEY APPLICATION INFORMATION AND LABEL
Rovral GT can be applied as a preventative treatment in a
monthly program or as a curative at the first sign of disease
presence in turf. Rovral GT (Iprodione) may be very unstable
in tank conditions where the pH is 7 or higher. It is essential
to check the pH before mixing and maintain below 7 when
applying the product. LI 700 is a suitable adjuvant to achieve
acidic tank conditions.
Rovral GT is a penetrant fungicide with translaminar
movement and therefore good coverage is essential in
achieving good disease control. Rovral GT should be applied
in 400–600 litres of water per hectare to target leaf diseases
and above 600L for soil-borne diseases. Irrigation with 2–4mm
is required to assist the movement of the fungicide into the
soil to control diseases in the rootzone.

leaf diseases and above 600 L for soil-borne diseases. Irrigation with 2 – 4 mm is required to assist the movement
of the fungicide into the soil to control diseases in the rootzone.
The results over many years of use by turf managers have
supported what scientists have recently discovered, that Rovral
GT still remains as the turf industry’s fastest curative
fungicide.
The unique formulation continues to deliver superior results when
controlling the major turf diseases in the days after an application.
The speed of curative activity is extremely important to any turf
manager as it largely determines the rate of turf recovery.
Therefore, a slower acting curative fungicide will allow the turf
disease to advance even after the fungicide is applied.
This will lead to scaring in the turf that may take weeks to
recover. The proven performance of Rovral GT has provided
the turf manager with years of rapid and effective disease
control, which has assisted in the maintenance of exceptional
turf surfaces.

MODE OF ACTION OF ROVRAL GT
Iprodione, the active ingredient in Rovral GT is a member
of the dicarboxymide fungicide group. Rovral GT is a locally
systemic fungicide with both protective and curative activity.
Iprodione controls susceptible fungi by inhibiting germination of
fungal spores and growth of mycelium (a vegetative part of the
fungus) on plant tissue.
Rovral GT possesses locally systemic movement (translaminar)
capabilities within plants, meaning that when used as a foliar
treatment, it has the capacity to penetrate into leaf tissue, moving
from the upper leaf surface to the bottom leaf surface, enhancing
protection of the entire leaf area. Rovral GT’s translaminar
capability also ensures that plant pathogens growing within plant
tissue can be effectively controlled via an application of Iprodione.
Rovral GT is a Group 2 fungicide. With many of our turf
fungicides now in the Group 3 or 11 classifications, Rovral GT
offers a useful rotational tool from a programming perspective.

KEY BENEFITS
OF ROVRAL GT
•R
APID DISEASE KNOCKDOWN – faster turf
recovery, reducing scaring potential.
•B
ROAD SPECTRUM DISEASE CONTROL – offers
exceptional control of major turfgrass diseases both
inside and outside the plant.
•P
REMIUM OIL BASED FORMULATION – offers
superior sticking ability and extended residual control when compared to
other formulations.
•U
NIQUE SOLVENT PACKAGE – this provides superior movement of
iprodione into the plant.
•P
ROVEN PERFORMANCE – used for many years providing both
consistent and reliable performance.
“
Ordinarily a superintendent would have to use a
contact fungicide to knock down mycelium, but
you don’t get the long residual control out of a
contact fungicide. Superintendents can
use Rovral GT to get rid of mycelium
and also benefit from long-term control.
