Venus Fungicide quart (32 oz)

Venus Fungicide

Venus Fungicide is a broad-spectrum strobilurin fungicide powered by trifloxystrobin for preventive disease control in labeled agricultural crops. As a FRAC Group 11 QoI fungicide, Venus helps protect plants by forming a strong barrier against infection while providing continued release into leaf tissue.

With translaminar movement, Venus helps protect both sides of the leaf and provides dependable coverage in dense, hard-to-penetrate canopies. It is designed to help stop early and developing fungal diseases by preventing initial infection and reducing secondary disease spread. Venus is the generic equivalent of Flint Extra Fungicide.

Application Notes

Apply Venus according to the crop-specific directions on the product label. Thorough coverage is necessary to provide disease control. Use higher labeled rates and shorter labeled intervals when disease pressure is severe. Applications using sufficient water volume to provide thorough and uniform coverage generally provide the most effective disease control.

For resistance management, Venus should be used preventively and rotated with effective fungicides from different FRAC groups. Do not rely on repeated Group 11 applications alone. Follow all crop-specific application rates, pre-harvest intervals, minimum retreatment intervals, maximum annual use limits, and rotation requirements listed on the label.
