Buy yourself time to react to environmental changes.
Sculpting nature to our needs can have significant environmental pushback when our desires contradict nature’s will. Performance turfgrass stands are no exception and are exposed to intense environmental pressures. Non-native grass species, low cut heights and high fertility needs compounded by relentless physical trampling are uncompromising circumstances we must manage in exchange for good playability.
Unfortunately, these conditions also create a perfect breeding ground for disease. Further, these conditions are why fungicides are essential to turf grass managers’ ability to maintain these playing surfaces for our enjoyment.
However, looking at conventional practices, let us consider applying a fungicide akin to dropping a bomb. Traditionally, we don’t provide any ground support after the airstrike. But just as in any battle, the open ground we leave is free for the taking as the treatment effectiveness diminishes. Here we see the need to reapply fungicides every 21 days during intense pressure. However, this one-dimensional tactic makes us dependent on their use and often makes us manage on a razor edge, waiting for the ‘enemy’ to POP up with any shift in pressure.
What to Expect with Turf Growth Sciences
Send in the Troops!
So what if, in support of the airstrike, you could deploy an army of microbial workers to mine the rootzone for nutrients while competing with diseases by crowding them out? Diversify your IPM strategy using targeted airstrikes and ground support with The Biological Method.
Don’t take them for granted!
Furthermore, pesticide resistance is a legitimate problem; science tells us overuse and half-rate applications can diminish the effectiveness of these valuable tools by allowing the organism to grow resistant.
The Biological Method helps you by:
- Improving the efficiency of fungicide applications
- Introducing microbes that make more nutrients available, clean roots and encourage deeper growth
- Boosting those biological processes with the right nutrients, in the right place, at the right time.

Results
Having used Turf Growth Sciences since 2017, I’ve noticed reduced thatch levels and fewer fertility inputs without sacrificing turf quality. My agronomist recently confirmed this. As a result, I’ve reduced mechanical aerations and granular inputs, which helps cover the product’s cost. 2020 saw the busiest year we had experienced, which carried through the wet winter months into the spring of 2021 with little signs of pressure. These results ensure Turf Growth Sciences will continue to have a place in my fertility programs going forward.
