New UK disease trials on show at BTME have proven the benefit of fungicides to help turf surfaces recover from attacks.

A new Syngenta one-box fungicide programme is now available, providing a well-proven, cost effective and agronomically strong season-long disease control strategy.    The AIM programme contains three leading Syngenta fungicides, specifically selected to provide an effective sequential strategy for summer through to winter, including Ascernity, Instrata Elite and Medallion TL.Sean Loakes, Syngenta Turf Technical Manager for UK & Ireland, advocated the AIM approach optimises the potential to protect turf from immediate disease risks, while also providing longer term pathogen reductions that more effectively prevents disease outbreaks right through the season.   “Starting the programme with Ascernity, targeted at the increasing issues of summer anthracnose and dollar spot infections, followed by Instrata Elite in early autumn has proven to prevent the hugely damaging early outbreaks of microdochium patch.“The AIM pack then gives a further follow up of Medallion TL for when…

November is typically that time of fear and trepidation for when microdochium patch is going to hit. Chances of disease breaking out and the ability to counter it are largely governed by the weather

Digital agronomy tools now offer the potential for a positive addition to conventional greenkeeping skills.

The benefits of integrating a pigment into winter turf agronomy have now been shown to go beyond cosmetic appearance - and can add agronomic benefits.

Accurate application can typically account for over 30% of the performance of any treatment. Maintaining an even spray pattern is the first crucial step in achieving consistent coverage of the turf surface. Glenn Kirby, offers advice on sprayer set-up to achieve the best possible results from every application.
