Turf Agronomic Programs | Greencast | Syngenta

While every season is different, preparation is always an essential part of effective turfgrass management. The presence of biotic and abiotic stresses is often inconsistent and unpredictable, so superintendents have to find ways to treat their turf effectively. By preparing and strengthening turf quality in advance of seasonal stress, turf can recover quicker, enhancing aesthetics and playability.

    Superintendent, TPC River’s Bend
    Mainville, OH     "We try to keep it simple and don’t try to get too convoluted. We rotate Secure and Daconil Action. We will go with Secure a couple of times in the spring and then switch over to Daconil Action when the dollar spot pressure is high, and then rotate between Secure and Daconil Action and sometimes rotate those two for dollar spot and brown patch."

    Scottsdale, AZ     The chemistries available in today’s market make it financially beneficial to emphasize preventative approaches vs. curative methods, Emerson says.

    Keith Roberson

    Golf course superintendent
    Bentwinds Golf and Country Club
    Fuquay-Varina, NC     "We’ve been using an agronomic program from Syngenta for the past three years on our bentgrass greens and it’s been going great. A lot of research is put into these programs so it’s a no-brainer for us to take advantage of that. It keeps our greens in better condition year-round and we haven’t seen any disease since we started using the program. The application intervals have helped us get our timing right and we don’t have any breakdowns for a specific disease. It helps me sleep better at night knowing we have the major diseases covered. Additionally, the program helps us with our purchasing because we already know the amounts we’ll need for the year and we can early order everything. It helps keep our budget in line so we aren’t overspending, which makes our boss happy and keeps our greens healthy. At the end of the day, we have a better product to give our golfers and a happy golfer is the greatest return on investment."
