For golf course superintendents looking for additional tools for fairway turf management, Envu recently launched its Fairway Protection Playbook. The playbook provides a roadmap for season-long management of disease, insect and weed pests in warm- and cool-season turfgrass. Developed by the Envu Green Solutions Team, the guide helps superintendents take a proactive approach — applying treatments ahead of peak pest pressure and narrow application windows. Click here to request the guide. "Successful fairway performance is largely determined by decisions made before environmental and pest pressures intensify," said Zac Reicher, Ph.D., of Envu's Green Solutions Team. "Preventative applications help ensure golf course superintendents can strengthen the overall turf health, reduce cumulative stress and limit the establishment of diseases, insects and weeds that are difficult to control once symptoms appear." The playbook provides soil temperature thresholds, timing and recommendations for optimal application. By tracking indicators, superintendents can predict outbreaks before injury occurs. The guide outlines what to watch for early in the season, followed by specific timing and product recommendations.
