PLANNING YOUR PROACTIVE FUNGICIDE PROGRAMME
PERSONALISE YOUR POSTER
USE GREENCAST TO AID DECISION MAKING
Use YOUR wall chart to create your Proactive Fungicide Plan for this season. At the start of the season, place the disease stickers when you expect infections to hit your course, and select an appropriate fungicide choice to protect plants and prevent damage. You can also add in key events and other factors that may influence your choice. Then, as the season progresses, you can peel off and move the stickers to actual timings and choices according to seasonal pressures, including adding real-time dates and notes. It will build up an invaluable record for reference and for future years’ planning.
Maintaining turf to the consistent high quality demanded by today’s players has only increased the pressure on turf plants, and turf managers. Managing turf in an intensive golf course or stadium situation creates artificial conditions that are all too often highly conducive to disease pathogens. A proactive fungicide programme is an integral part of an effective Integrated Turf Management approach. Use Greencast to develop your fungicide programme, and how to get the best possible results in an ITM plan.
ARMED WITH GREENCAST’S UP-TO-DATE INFORMATION, YOU CAN PRE-PLAN WHAT ACTIONS WILL BE NEEDED, WHERE AND WHEN.

NO TWO COURSES WILL HAVE THE SAME APPROACH TO DISEASE CONTROL. THE CLUB AND PLAYERS’ EXPECTATIONS, DEMANDS AND BUDGETS WILL INFLUENCE WHAT YOU CAN ACHIEVE, AND THE RISKS TO THE BUSINESS IF TURF QUALITY IS COMPROMISED.
DISEASE CONTROL PROGRAM
EXPERIENCE WILL INDICATE WHICH AREAS OF THE COURSE ARE AFFECTED WORST, AND WHEN DISEASES ARE MOST LIKELY TO HIT. RECORDING ANY OUTBREAKS - INCLUDING USING THIS PLANNER - WILL BUILD UP A PICTURE. FOCUS ON AREAS THAT MEET YOUR BUSINESS OBJECTIVES.
GRASS SPECIES HAVE DIFFERENT TOLERANCE LEVELS FOR TURF DISEASES AND EACH GRASS TYPE IS AFFECTED WITH DIFFERENT DISEASES. IT IS IMPORTANT YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT GRASSES YOU HAVE AND WHAT DISEASES THEY ARE LIKELY TO GET IN YOUR ENVIRONMENT. YOU CAN CHECK GREENCAST TO HELP WITH THIS

EVERY ACTION YOU CARRY OUT ON TURF CAN HAVE AN IMPLICATION FOR CREATING STRESS AND INCREASING THE RISK OF DISEASE – EVEN IF THE LONG-TERM AIM OF THE ACTION IS TO REDUCE PRESSURE. UNDERSTANDING THE DISEASE AND THE POTENTIAL RISK CAN HELP YOU MANAGE IT MORE EFFECTIVELY.

TO BEST PROTECT TURF QUALITY DISEASE PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN SEEKING TO CONTROL THE DAMAGE OF OUTBREAKS. UNDERSTANDING HOW DISEASES DEVELOP AND WHERE THEY AFFECT THE PLANT CAN HELP YOU BETTER TIME TREATMENTS AND INTERVENTION TO PREVENT ATTACKS OCCURRING.
PLANNING YOUR FUNGICIDE PROGRAMME WILL ENABLE YOU TO TARGET DISEASE THREATS MORE EFFECTIVELY WITH THE RIGHT PRODUCT AT THE RIGHT TIME AND ROTATE CHEMISTRY TO PROTECT FUTURE RESULTS.
ACCURATE APPLICATION IS KEY TO GETTING THE BEST PERFORMANCE FROM EVERY TREATMENT AND BEST PRACTICE TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT. FOLLOW GUIDELINES FOR RATES AND APPLICATION ADVICE. ALWAYS USE THE GREENCAST TURF APP.
