Chino® 400Sc Features and How It Works

Crop Disease Rate Critical Comments
TURF (golf and bowling greens, other intensively managed turf) Pythium leaf blight Pythium root rot Pythium root dysfunction (Pythium spp) 10mL/100 square metres (1.0L/ha) When conditions favour disease development, apply consecutive sprays of this product at approximately 21 day intervals. Apply as a foliar spray. DO NOT wait for disease to appear. Apply Chino 400SC in 400L to 500L water per hectare.
  • Chino Works by disrupting electron transport during mitochondria respiration. This inhibition occurs at all stages of fungal development resulting in the inability for the fungal infection to develop spores or mycelium, preventing the pathogen from spreading.
  • Chino is a translaminar systemic fungicide.
  • Chino binds very well to plant material- Chino doesn’t move greatly after application has dried and been absorbed even after heavy rainfall- so target application area needed for the type of pythium you are controlling. Hence root pythium we suggest watering in Chino. For leaf and crown use adequate water voloume to get good coverage of these areas.

Types of Pythium

Not all pythium species cause damage to turfgrass. These are the 3 that do and the associated pythium species which are aggressive in damaging turf.

Pythium Leaf Blight- in leaf and crown of plant. Most common type of pythium. Appears very quickly after rainfall events and humid weather. Species associated:

  • P.aphanidermatum
  • P.ultimum

Pythium Root Rot- occurs in roots and crown. Usually seen on poorly drained areas and high prolonged rainfall times. Can be slow to show symptoms as start in the roots. Species associated:

  • P.aristosporum
  • P.graminicola
  • P.vanterpoolii

Pythium Root Dysfunction-is much more prevalent on new bent grass greens, which is why it is often mistaken for take-all. Also these organisms are much more active at cooler temperatures (13°C-20°C) causing damage, and then symptoms appear as the roots die back in warmer temperatures. Often seen on high side of greens. Symptoms are seen in summer; however, the pathogen is active in the 3-4 months earlier. Sand easily falls away from a plug Species associated:

  • P.volutum
  • P.arrhenomanes

Chino® 400Sc Trial Work

[Bar chart showing % of Pythium over time (Day of treatment, 7DAT, 14DAT, 28DAT, 35DAT) comparing Chino 10mL, Standard Cyazofamid 10mL, Proplant 65mL, and Untreated.]

About the trial Turf type: bent grass green. 2023 was a typical high pressure Pythium season for Sydney. One application was made with Chino®, Standard Cyazofamid (both at a rate of 10mL/100m²) and Proplant® (65mL/100m² Please note no other fungicides were applied for the duration of the trial. No other practices took place so as to eliminate any bias in the trial.

Observations and Conclusions

  • At 28 days and 35 days after treatment all products were statistically superior to the untreated. All products were controlling pythium statistically the same.
  • Chino® demonstrated strong efficacy on pythium and statistically the same as Standard cyazofamid.
  • Chino® and Proplant are 2 strong product with different mode of action in controlliing all types of pythium. Chino® an Proplant® are the basis for a pythium control program.
