Heritage Action™ fungicide delivers hybrid technology that couples the proven disease control of Heritage^® fungicide with a boost of acibenzolar-S-methyl (ASM) to help plants better manage biotic and abiotic stress.

Managing the “elements”

Heat, wind, humidity and water availability all have a significant impact on plant performance. Heritage Action moves systemically throughout the plant and stimulates the production of plant proteins that help manage these abiotic stresses. Applying Heritage Action during periods of summer stress can help improve the aesthetics and health of your turf including reduced wilting, faster green-up, increased tolerance to heat and drought stress, and quicker recovery from aerification.

Drought Tolerance through Reduced Water Loss

In plant leaves, stomata are pores that act as a gateway to control gas exchange, including water vapor. Stomata support transpiration to supply water and minerals to the entire plant system. ASM is the only product found to beneficially affect stomatal regulation to maximize water retention in drought conditions.

Studies have shown that pairing Heritage Action with Daconil Action™ fungicide offers a boost in performance. This benefit also applies to stomatal regulation. While Heritage Action offers five to six days of stomatal regulation, when teamed up with Daconil Action, studies show increased stomatal regulation, which means greater water-savings that will decrease the need for afternoon syringing, help prevent mid-day wilting and fewer dry spots.



ASM is the only active ingredient registered in turf that is recognized by the Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC) to have systemic acquired resistance (SAR) effects. This empowers the plant to engage its own natural stress defenses to improve plant performance, providing optimal turf quality and playability.
