2008 a low pest pressure turf maintenance season in North East
The earlier hot weather conditions have faded to great grass growing weather. The hot temperatures have been short lived. Many turf maintenance professionals are using fungicides but spray intervals are not being shortened to accommodate high disease pressure. At the Central Penn GCSA meeting yesterday there was a general feeling that 2008 has been a moderately easy turf maintenance season so far.

Customers see success with Insignia and Trinity fungicides
I’ve received positive feedback from many of my customers. One golf course superintendent called to say that he used his first ever Insignia fungicide fairway spray on the Fourth of July weekend and loves it!

A distributor called to say Insignia plus a phite performed outstandingly. He has been working Insignia + phites and has gained the seal of “quality disease control” approval from many happy customers.

Another golf course superintendent said he tried Trinity fungicide at 1oz and, “LOVES Trinity”.

In general, BASF is receiving very positive feedback from distributors who are selling our pest control products for Take-all patch, Summer patch and Anthracnose turf diseases.
