New Syngenta Turf App for South Africa

Available Free on the Apple App Store and on Google Play.

The new Syngenta Turf App gives greenkeepers and turf managers right across South Africa the opportunity to improve the efficiency of all spray applications, as well as maintain their spray records simply and effectively.

The Syngenta Turf App simplifies spray recommendation information and eliminates the need for manual record keeping.

The FREE App, available now for Apple and android smart phones or tablets, directly addresses the key concerns of greenkeepers and agronomists for spray record keeping and improving application techniques.

PLUS a host of features are included like:

• Disease & Pest ID Guide
• Treatment recommendations
• Product information
• Tank-mix calculator
• Application records
• Support contacts

It really is the ONLY app you'll EVER need to help with ALL of your greenkeeping tasks.

Former greenkeeper and now Syngenta Technical Manager for EMEA (including South Africa), Glenn Kirby said of the new Turf App ...

"The Turf App is a really helpful tool for all spray applications and turf management decisions.

Its Disease & Pest ID Guide helps to provide a simply way to identify and establish best practice for all turf diseases.

You’ll find a full list of Syngenta products with all statutory documents, so you know you’ll always be fully up to date and compliant.

The sprayer calibration tool and spray records make it a thorough yet simply to use tool to help you make more informed, better and more accurate product applications."

A new Disease & Pest ID Guide provide a clear pictorial view of what to look out for, along with management notes of where and when problems are most likely to occur. It includes an in-depth strategy for the optimum Integrated Turf Management approach to each pest and disease that you're ever likely to come across in South Africa.

Within each of the product listings, there are full details of statutory labels, safety data sheets and technical guides, to ensure operators are always fully compliant with the latest regulatory information on product use.  

“It ensures operators always have access to the most up-to-date information instantly in their hand, wherever they are working,” reported Glenn. “The labels displayed on your phone are always clean and uncontaminated, compared to potentially handling old labels on part-used bottles in the store.”

Application records created in the Turf App enable full spray records to be quickly and simply created. Users can now add any company’s products into the system, including fertilisers and biocontrols, for example. Once any product details have been added, they remain available for future addition or reference.  

“Course managers or agronomists can create spray recommendations using the Turf App that can be emailed to sprayer operators or contractors. That eliminates the chance of error from misreading hand-written sheets or instructions,” he advised.

One-time registration enables users to input all their facility details, spray areas, equipment and operators – which can be instantly imported into spray records – making them quick and accurate to complete.

The app’s innovative Tank-mix Calculator will also help operators complete the applications efficiently and accurately, by providing the amount of any products required to spray a given area and the appropriate water volume, along with advice on nozzle selection and sprayer set up.

“The fact that the spray records retained in the Turf App are allied to the label and product information within the system, alleviates the need to keep paper copies of labels in the office and ensures they are legally compliant.

“Digital tools have made a huge advance in supporting the skills and experience of turf managers,” highlighted Glenn. “Once you start to couple together the Turf App, with tools such as WeatherPro forecasting and the Primo Maxx II Growing Degree Day Calculator, for example, it creates a really powerful and practical integrated decision support package,” he added.
