Please don't worry about the 'bluey-green' on the greens or the 'blobs' on the fairway. This is just a way for us (green keepers) to mark the ground that we've treated.

You may have noticed that we still have a little bit of fuzarium, some greens worse than others, however it's nothing that a fine fungicide mix can't solve.

Here's the mix:


Velocity : is a unique adjuvant designed specifically to enhance the performance of disease control products on turf.
Astute : is a systemic fungicide containing two active ingredients with different modes of action that cures and prevents Fusarium Patch.
Chipco Green : is a contact fungicide with curative and preventative action against a wide range of important turf diseases on all key sports surfaces.
GoGreen Plus : is a versatile, convenient formulation of sulphur free complexed iron that gives extended green-up, whilst correcting iron deficiency and will harden turf against the onset of disease.

We are using blue die on the greens to help make the spray pattern visible, not only making it easier for the operator but this will reduce the amount we overlap thus saving the tank volume letting us spray other target areas.                              

       Foaming all over the place

In the photos above we are spraying for worm casts and using foam on the fairways to provide a perfect guide line for us, this serves the same purpose as the blue die... unbelievable tekkers.



Please refer back to my older post 'Say it don't spray it' where you can find more information on worm casts etc.
