Chino 400SC | Turf Fungicide

Campbell Chino 400SC Turf Fungicide

Stop Pythium losses in intensively managed turf

Pythium leaf blight, root rot and root dysfunction can quickly undermine turf quality on greens and other high-pressure surfaces—especially under humid, waterlogged or temperature-fluctuating conditions. Chino 400SC provides targeted, reliable control of key Pythium species in intensively managed turf.

Key features and specifications

• Active constituent: 400 g/L cyazofamid (Group 21 fungicide) — suspension concentrate.

• Pack size: 1 L.

• Registered use sites: Golf and bowling greens; other intensively managed turf.

• Target diseases: Pythium leaf blight, Pythium root rot, Pythium root dysfunction (Pythium spp.).

• Mode of action: Disrupts electron transport in mitochondrial respiration; activity at all fungal development stages. Translaminar systemic movement; strong binding to plant tissue.

• Program fit: Works alongside different MoA partners (e.g., Proplant—Group 28; Emerald—Group 29) for resistance management. The chart on page 4 illustrates the complementary “family of Pythium fighters.”

• Performance: Sydney bentgrass green trial (2023) showed Chino at 10 mL/100 m² performed on-par with a standard cyazofamid and Proplant, all statistically superior to untreated through 28–35 DAT (see page 3 chart and notes).

Application and usage instructions

• Rate: 10 mL per 100 m² (1.0 L/ha).

• Water volume: 400–500 L/ha.

• Timing: When conditions favour disease development; do not wait for symptoms. Apply consecutive sprays at approximately 21-day intervals.

• Method: Apply as a foliar spray. For leaf/crown infections (Pythium leaf blight), ensure thorough foliar coverage. For root-targeted diseases (Pythium root rot/dysfunction), lightly water-in after application to place the active into the rootzone. These directions align with Chino’s translaminar activity and strong binding to plant material highlighted on page 2.

• Best practice: Integrate into a rotation with alternative modes of action to reduce resistance pressure; adjust intervals under prolonged humidity, poor drainage or peak-risk periods indicated for each Pythium type on pages 2–3.

Where it fits

• Greens with rapid disease expression after rainfall/humidity (leaf blight).

• Poorly drained areas prone to root rot.

• New bentgrass greens or cool-season activity periods prone to root dysfunction (symptoms often expressed later as temperatures rise).

Buy with confidence: robust, targeted Pythium control

Chino 400SC delivers cyazofamid in a proven SC formulation for consistent Pythium suppression across leaves and roots, supported by local trial data and clear program compatibility for season-long strategies.
