2 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.
