BASF Professional Turf & Ornamentals launched Honor fungicide, a combination of two active ingredients, and Tower herbicide, which features dimethenamid-P, a new active ingredient for the turf market. Both products give golf course superintendents broad-spectrum control to help them optimize applications.
Honor fungicide combines boscalid, the active ingredient in Emerald fungicide, and pyraclostrobin, the active ingredient in Insignia fungicide. Ideal for greens, tees and fairways, Honor’s two modes of action deliver playability to greens and control of diseases, including patch diseases, anthracnose, dollar spot and leaf spot.
Tower herbicide provides preemergent control of more than 50 small-seeded grassy and broadleaf weeds and sedges including goosegrass and yellow nutsedge. Tower can be applied to cool- and warm-season turfgrass on tees, fairways, roughs and other amenity turfgrass around common areas on the golf course. For added weed control, Tower is an ideal tank-mix partner with Pendulum AquaCap herbicide.
“Honor and Tower are difference makers,” says Toni Bucci, Business Manager, BASF Professional Turf & Ornamentals. “Both products enable golf course superintendents to cost effectively control diseases and weeds that threaten the health and quality of turfgrass. Both products exemplify our commitment to continually bring innovation to market.”
Honor fungicide is labeled for use on golf courses turfgrass, and should be applied prior to or in the early stages of disease development for optimal results.
Tower herbicide is labeled for use on golf courses except on greens, in landscape or grounds maintenance, on mulch beds, jogging and bike trails, non-crop areas, parking lots, fence lines and other areas listed on its label.
