Vision Pro HD is the closest match to a natural turf color, company says.

| October 8, 2012

 

To address the needs of golf course superintendents and turf professionals wanting a high performance turf colorant for spray applications, Becker Underwood has introduced Vision Pro HD as the next class of high definition turf colorant.

“Vision Pro HD and its formulation technology represent the best-of-the-best in turf colorants, and is the closest match to a natural turf color produced outside of the plant itself,” says Joe Lara, product manager at Becker Underwood. “The refined ingredients create a higher definition of color on close-mowed turf.  Equally important, it is suitable for use in all professional spray equipment. It is safe for all types of pump seals and no seal changes are required.”  

As the next generation of the Vision Pro product offering, Vision Pro HD is ideal for green and tee spray programs. It provides a complementary color to spray mix applications which are designed to promote overall plant health and protect against pests. By enhancing the visual quality of these applications, Vision Pro HD provides the most natural appearance of turf color available in the market.

“With Vision Pro HD, you won’t see the unnatural blue color left behind by many other products made with old colorant technology,” stated Dr. Mark Howieson, technical team leader at Becker Underwood. “The result is a turf color that remains consistently green.” 

A new addition to the Green Lawnger brand of products, Vision Pro HD turf colorant is the best-value choice for applications on all types of turf grasses in all growing regions. Built with ColorLock technology, the revolutionary formulation process “locks” in the color for the greatest consistency, durability, and increased longevity.

“The technology formulated into Vision Pro HD means no breakdown associated with UV light, no plant phytotoxicity, no clogged equipment, and easy sprayer clean-up for the superintendent and maintenance personnel,” Howieson adds.

Golf course superintendents are encouraged to ask their supplier or Becker Underwood representative for more information about Vision Pro HD high definition turf colorant.
