Providing Total Quality Turf Care At The Best Prices

Fertilizer Programs

Spray program with Foursome pigment (L), and without Foursome pigment (R).

Recently Todd Lowe of the USGA (United States Golf Association) conducted a regional update on the Florida region and the frost that local golf courses have been dealing with during this harsh winter season. His findings on current best practices in the area coincide with what we here at G to Z Turf Services regularly provide customers during the colder South Florida months. Lowe specifically touched on a fertility spray program using pigments that was very effective. The picture at the left shows the difference between a spray program with the pigment and without it. G to Z Turf Services has been working with Florida golf courses to create programs that will keep greens green during the winter months, and we find this article to be a great example of what can be done by working with a great program. Read more about Todd Lowe’s regional report, and contact a G to Z Turf Services representative today for more information about how a fairway spray program can help your greens (or your yard).
