Cheers to another exciting year for golf made possible by your pursuit of excellence. As you plan for the year ahead, and manage the conditions of your club and course, we hope this State of the Industry report supports your success in the 2026 season.
We want you to know that Nufarm is here to help. Beyond dozens of reliable, go-to solutions and evolutionary technology like Anuew® EZ Plant Growth Regulator and Velocity® PM POA Management, we’re introducing six new products, including fungicides, insecticides and premium herbicide solutions that will strengthen your agronomic toolbox.
A key priority for us in the year ahead will also be to share the important potential of our StayGuard™ herbicide on fertilizer. This technology is expanding to fertilizer offerings across the U.S., bringing new utility to efficient weed control.
Our commitment to the golf community remains strong. Through long-standing partnerships — from the EXCEL Leadership Program led in collaboration with the GCSAA to numerous local GCSA chapters across the country — we stay close to the real-world needs of the superintendent community to guide our innovation and give back in meaningful ways.
Nufarm’s focus has always been on delivering next-generation solutions paired with dependable service and technical support. In 2026, we look forward to being at your side with new tools, new innovations and a continued dedication to helping your course perform at its best.
