Spring into Stronger Turf with Tribeca
28, September 2025
As the days grow warmer and turf awakens from winter dormancy, Turf Culture remains dedicated to innovative solutions that protect and strengthen your turf against the unique disease pressures of spring. With the arrival of Ectotrophic Root Infecting Fungi (ERI) and other persistent turf diseases, it is the perfect time to give your turf the robust protection it needs to thrive.
Tribeca is a powerful, broad spectrum fungicide that blends Fludioxonil and Triticonazole, delivering both preventative and curative action against the toughest turf diseases including Ectotrophic Root Infecting Fungi (ERI) such as Spring Dead Spot, Take-All Patch and Take All Root Rot which often express symptoms or activate growth as soil temperatures rise.
Tribeca’s dual active formulation stands out for its ability to shield turf from disease both inside and out, just when new growth is most vulnerable. Its combination of contact and systemic action ensures your turf enjoys immediate protection and long-term health as it greens up for the season.
Key spring advantages:
√ Unmatched Fludioxonil strength: More than double the Fludioxonil per hectare compared to any other turf fungicide in Australia.
√ Rapid action: Triggers fungal spores to absorb water quickly, causing cell rupture and stopping disease in its tracks.
√ Rain-fast reliability: Superior resistance to spring showers, ensuring consistent disease control.
√ Spring Dead Spot specialist: Highly effective against ERI and Spring Dead Spot, with both preventative and curative applications.
√ Comprehensive protection: Shields leaves, crowns, and roots through combined systemic and contact activity.
Targeting ERI & Spring Dead Spot – Spring’s Turf Threats
Spring is a critical time for managing Ectotrophic Root Infecting Fungi (ERI) and Spring Dead Spot, which can undermine turf health and appearance just as growth resumes. ERI fungi, including Gaeumannomyces avenae, G. graminis, and Ophiosphaerella narmari, attack roots, reducing nutrient uptake and making turf more susceptible to stress.
Tribeca’s dual-active formula is especially valuable in spring, providing protection as soil temperatures rise and disease risk increases.
Take All Root Rot & Fairway Patch
How Tribeca Works – Perfect for Spring
Fludioxonil (127 g/L): A non-systemic contact fungicide that disrupts fungal cell osmosis, causing rapid water uptake and cell rupture for long-lasting protection.
Triticonazole (194 g/L): A systemic DMI fungicide that inhibits fungal sterol biosynthesis, disrupting cell membranes and eliminating disease from within
Together, these actives deliver:
-
- √ Fast acting disease control
-
- √ Long-lasting protection
-
- √ Complete, inside-and-out plant defence
Application recommendations for spring
Spring Strategy: Begin preventative applications in September, timed to soil temperature and local disease risk.
Curative action: At the first sign of disease symptoms, apply Tribeca and repeat within 14–28 days if conditions remain favourable for fungal activity.
With proven control over 8 major turf diseases – including Anthracnose, Brown Patch, Dollar Spot, Fusarium, Helminthosporium and ERI’s – Tribeca is your go to solution for vibrant, resilient turf this spring.
