Navigating Winter Turf Management in the Southeast
Due to an unusually wet and overcast Winter in the Southeast, particularly in Florida, turf managers find themselves grappling with even more challenges maintaining healthy turfgrass. Performance Nutrition’s continued goal is to offer practical solutions that address these specific problems and emphasize plant health and disease prevention in the current Southeastern winter climate.
Dealing with Disease Pressure
The excess rain, limited sunlight and cool temperatures this Winter underscore the need for reliable disease control. To tackle this issue, we recommend two products:
Nutrol - The Powerful Biopesticide
Nutrol
