Turf - Start Planning for Spring

With the busy spring season around the corner, make sure you're caught up on tips to ensure optimal playing conditions on your course. A successful agronomic programme requires conditioning turf so it performs and recovers quickly from stress.

As you begin to tackle agronomic planning for the new season, think about the following:

• Monitoring
• Managing resistance
• Implementing cultural practices
• Timing applications
• Greens, tees, fairways and roughs

Asking yourself questions such as “Am I treating for the right pests at the right time?” can help build a strong foundation for agronomic planning. 

That question is particularly important when developing a greens management strategy, because greens are the most prone to damage from diseases, insects and nematodes, and their tolerance for this type of stress is pretty much zero.

Developing an agronomic programme for your greens may seem more complicated than ever. 

With chemistries, premix products, resistance management concerns and other challenges, it’s enough to make your head spin. 

But like any other complex task, if you go back to the fundamentals, it becomes far easier to tackle.
