            In other OHP news—the company announced the immediate availability of Strike Plus Fungicide. Strike Plus contains two active ingredients for dual modes of action (MOA), giving more broad-spectrum control of troublesome foliar diseases.
A combination of a sterol inhibitor (triadimefon) and a strobilurin (trifloxystrobin), Strike Plus provides systemic and translaminar activity on many diseases, including powdery mildew, rusts, scab, black spot, leaf spots, downy mildew and others.
The product contains triadimefon, the active ingredient in Strike 50 WDG fungicide, plus trifloxystrobin, the active ingredient in Compass O fungicide, in a wettable dispersible granule (WDG) formulation.  
“Strike Plus is a broad-spectrum fungicide that can be used both inside and outside and as preventive or curative. The user simply adjusts the rate accordingly,” notes Dr. Carlos Bográn, OHP technical manager, who also said Strike Plus is a good fit into a resistance management program.
OHP will phase out Strike 50 WDG, but will maintain federal and state registrations for a period of time so growers can use up existing stock.
