Triforine is a systemic fungicide used in home garden products for the control of black spot fungus, powdery mildew and rust on roses.
In Australia, triforine products have been available either as concentrates or ‘ready-to-use’ formulations. Concentrates typically have an alcohol solvent and are diluted in water just prior to spraying. Ready-to-use products had water as their solvent, having been diluted at the point of manufacture rather than just prior to spraying.
This review concerned water-based triforine products only. There are a number of alternative alcohol-based triforine products still available for use in the home garden. Consumers are advised to check the packaging. The red 'flammable' symbol on the container is an indication that the product is alcohol based.
