← Back to Acadia ESQ product overview
Acadia ESQ Fungicide is a suspension concentrate (SC) used for the management of various fungal diseases in agricultural crops. It contains two active ingredients: Azoxystrobin (18.2%) and Difenoconazole (11.4%). It is effective against a wide range of pathogens including leaf spots, blights, and scabs in crops such as almonds, beans, berries, cucurbits, grapes, and more. The product can be applied via ground, aerial, or chemigation methods. When using chemigation, ensure the system is compatible with the product and follow specific instructions for public water systems. Note that this product is extremely phytotoxic to certain apple varieties; avoid spray drift near apple trees. For best results, ensure adequate water volume for thorough coverage. Handling requires specific PPE, including long-sleeved shirts, long pants, shoes, and waterproof gloves. Always follow local wind and weather conditions to minimize spray drift.
