As we charge forward into some of the toughest months for golf course management, DEFENSE becomes the name of the game. We offer some great options to help battle these harsh conditions.
Wetting Agents
Flowable Wetting Agents
During the stressful times of summer, wetting agents can ease your mind. They help hold water and break surface tension, plus they can help flush unwanted water through the soil profile. When it comes to the prevalent summertime problem, localized dry spot, wetting agents are an effective tool.
Tablet and Granular Wetting Agents
Wetting agents do not have to be liquid to be effective. Granular wetting agents are versatile for many uses on golf greens, collars, bunker fingers, and landscape beds. Advanced Turf offers great granular wetting agents as well as easy-to-use wetting agent tablets that smoothly fit hose-end applicators and get the job done.
Fertilizers: Program and Products
Foliar-Pak OH $H*T Spray
Use this spray when the condition of your turf has you shouting four-letter words this summer. Distressed turf cannot manufacture the proteins and plant hormones it needs for recovery. This spray is loaded with natural amino acids, sugars, and organic acids that jump-start your turf for super quick recovery.
Foliar-Pak Gold Standard 45
Anything you can do to help your plants keep water in their cells, maintain cell wall integrity, fend off biotic and abiotic stressors, and create energy, the better off you’ll be in getting through the stress of summer. Why not use the new technology to keep your plant healthy? Gold Standard 45, an amino acid-phosphite, is extremely safe and has a low use rate of 0.5-2 oz/1000 sq ft.
Foliar-Pak Foundation Forty
Foundation Forty creates a better osmolyte presence by loading more osmolytes into cell vacuoles and stomatal guard cells. With multiple biotic and abiotic stressors hitting turf in the summertime, a better osmolyte presence produces plants that function at a higher level under these stress conditions. A stronger, more vibrant plant with better-functioning stomates will absorb more systemic tank mix chemistries, especially under significant stress.
Foliar-Pak CSi L
Drought stress is a major problem during the summer. CSi L is an excellent solution for drought stress because of its unique amino acid that acts as an osmolyte. The amino acid impacts water relations within the plant, enhancing its ability to maintain proper hydration during drought and salt stress conditions. The improved hydration minimizes heat stress damage, keeping the turf healthier.
Foliar-Pak Grow-In
Grow-In not only helps new seedlings but can boost existing turf during summer stress. The combination of nutrients, Foliar-Pak AminoPrecise technology, Foliar-Pak Armament, and a biological package enhances root development and can expedite turf density and traffic tolerance.
Foliar-Pak Play-On
Play-On was developed in the sports field market to do what the name implies. Its nutrient package, coupled with AminoPrecise technology, allows turf to respond quickly for regular in-season use. Having Armament technology along for the ride helps protect against nutrient tie-up and gives consistent results for green-up and growth.
Fungicides
Envu’s Stressgard line
Envu’s Stressgard line mitigates the full scope of biotic and abiotic stresses throughout your course, which means you get immediate aesthetic benefits and long-lasting improvements, including better turf quality, color, density, and overall health for a more consistent playing surface — even in unpredictable conditions.
