    title-additional-guidelines

      Serenade OPTI has a unique mode of action and fungicide group (FRAC Group BM02), which makes it very difficult for diseases to develop resistance. Serenade OPTI can help with resistance issues by preventing diseases from developing ways to combat single site synthetic products. Serenade OPTI works best when used in a program approach with other chemistries throughout the growing season to decrease the chance of resistance for all products on that particular crop.
