Absolute Maxx Product Overview
What is Absolute Maxx fungicide?
Absolute® Maxx fungicide stimulates plant growth and effectively controls major fungal diseases and promotes all-around plant health in corn and cereals.
How does Absolute Maxx work?
Absolute Maxx fungicide contains two chemistries – a triazole and a strobilurin – that effectively control disease by interfering with both energy and cell membrane production in the fungi.
The triazole is quickly absorbed into the leaves and is systematically distributed within the plant, providing fast, curative action against rust and other lead diseases. The second component, a strobilurin class of chemistry, protects existing leaves from disease, and promotes changes in the plant that reduce the effects of abiotic stresses.
The triazole and the strobilurin work together to control disease with multiple modes of action. This also helps reduce the likelihood of the development of disease resistance.
