B) Purpose
a. The application will supply fertility to turf to maintain balanced nutrition. Balanced nutrition will allow turfgrass to better withstand traffic and fend off turf pest pressures. This contribution results in improved field conditions. Maximizing field quality will provide a well cushioned playing surface which will minimize the chances of sports related injuries.
b. A second portion of the application will be a preventative treatment for all species of white grubs. This key application prevents the significant damage which these root feeding larvae can inflict on turf. The prevention of these pests now will help us to avoid costly repairs, increased water usage, and remove the need of more potent insecticides. A granular version of this product will be utilized to help avoid needless exposure to pollinators.
c. Regular spot spraying for various broadleaf & grassy weeds will be conducted to maintain consistently low weed thresholds. Regular spot spraying applications will keep weeds in check, reduce their proliferation through seed, and lessen the need for broadcast treatments of these products.
