Bold claim: A new fungicide from Sipcam Agro USA promises to elevate turf health and playability like never before. Sipcam Agro USA (https://www.sipcam.com/us/en/) is introducing Carve Xtra, a turf fungicide engineered with golf course superintendents and turf managers in mind. Carve Xtra delivers broad-spectrum disease control, preventive and curative action, and systemic protection to keep greens and fairways healthier, longer, and more reliable under stress.
The product blends azoxystrobin and prothioconazole—two well-established active ingredients with complementary modes of action. This dual-active formula aims to provide superior disease control while supporting resistance management, helping turf stay vigorous and playable even under challenging conditions.
Carve Xtra targets 13 major turf diseases, including those linked to summer stress, and is designed to reduce fungicide resistance risk. It also supports improved root development, color retention, shade tolerance, and water-use efficiency, contributing to overall turf resilience and aesthetic appeal.
“Golf course superintendents need solutions that perform and deliver solid ROI,” said Dave Feist, Sipcam Agro USA senior marketing director. “Carve Xtra is crafted to provide consistent, dependable results while fostering long-term turf health.”
Packaging and availability: Carve Xtra comes in four 1-gallon containers per case and is labeled exclusively for golf course turf applications. Distribution is planned through authorized Sipcam Agro USA distributors, with a rollout in early 2026.
