  Utilising growth potential in low light and scheduling Primo Maxx II applications              

ICL are currently doing a great offer on Ryder to go in the tank with our fungicide applications that’s well worth taking a look at. On the back of this leaflet you’ll see some data from a trial we did at the Irish Sports Turf Institute in 2018. In this trial we did some work…

They’ve been having a very different year to normal with very mild temperatures and more rainfall (sound familiar?). Helsinki…

Light is a key component of Photosynthesis – put simply no light, no photosynthesis. During the winter months with shorter days, even though we have temperatures suitable for growth, it’s very likely we’ll go through periods when light is the limiting factor. I’ve grabbed a few slides from a recent presentation myself and Dr Andy…

Got an email today from a Course Manager asking: “Greens don’t appear to be as healthy as they have in previous years at this time do I think that light levels would have any impact on this?” It’s a great question and ties in nicely with some of the work we did at STRI last…

It’s that time of year when we all step back and search for the reason for the Etiolated growth that is appearing on many venues across the UK over the last two weeks. This soft, pale elongated growth can appear quickly and detracts from the visual impact of the surfaces you’re presenting. There has been…
