Rebate being offered on nematode control product

Superintendents looking for an effective nematode solution for the critical fall control window can now try MultiGuard Protect and receive a cash rebate of $250 for every 10 gallons purchased before Dec. 4, 2015. Details and redemption information can be found at www.multiguardprotect.com.

Nematode protection is especially important in the fall. At this time of the year in preparation for the winter months, turfgrasses need to build up carbohydrate reserves. This is accomplished by having a healthy root system. The result of uncontrolled nematode activity is a reduction in a healthy root system thus a reduction in carbohydrate reserves needed to sustain the plant through the winter. This reduction can lead to weak turf that is slow to green up in the spring and does not compete well with cool-season overseeded grasses, thus resulting in a weak plant stand and even mortality come spring.

“Fall is one of the most crucial seasons to treat turf for nematodes,” Agriguard sales manager, Greg Freyermuth said. “This rebate makes it even more affordable to use MultiGuard in coming months to catch a nematode outbreak before root structures become permanently damaged.”

MultiGuard Protect is a safe, natural, non-phytotoxic nematicide that doesn’t leave harmful residues. Naturally derived from sugar cane, MultiGuard Protect is an environmentally friendly way to manage nematodes on contact that doesn’t cause physical damage to turf when applied per label recommendations. The product is meant to be applied as a program approach to nematode management, with three applications on 21-day intervals (see label) applied both during the fall and spring season timed with the plants’ root growth cycle.
 
Registered by the EPA, MultiGuard Protect can be used on established sport and athletic fields, golf course turf such as tees and greens, practice greens, spot treatment on fairways, roughs and also on turf and sod farms.
