Fall Preparations Still in High Gear

Even though the summer of 2016 is officially in the books, there are still many preparations to complete before winter approaches. After a very wet summer, grub scouting is in high gear. Aloft, Sevin or ArmorTech Guillotine, with a penetrant, are perfect choices for grub activity. With that said, the rains also have leached out many of the nutrients in the soil. 22-0-4 with Armament ZnB is a great choice for bluegrass. Lebanon25-0-10 or 24-0-18 for bentgrass fairways and tees are great choices here, too.  

Fall is also a great time for herbicide applications. ProGro has too many herbicides choices to mention here, but ArmorTech Sure Zone and Threesome can handle most people's needs. Finally, preventative patch disease applications still have to be made. Our SharShield PPZ 41.8% EC, ArmorTech Zoxy-T, Trinity, or ArmorTech Teb 360 are great choices that can be combined with Foliar-Pak Minors or Manganese.  

I know it is a challenge at this time of year to complete these and other important fall tasks. Crews are depleted and tired, mowing is still in high gear and of course leaf removal is right around the corner. Hopefully, you can fit these important applications into your fall routine yet this year!
