FMC Professional Solutions will offer golf course superintendents an opportunity to earn donations for their local Golf Course Superintendents Association of America chapter next week at the Golf Industry Show. FMC will also launch its new Rayora fungicide at the show.
The fundraiser is an initiative driven by the new FMC True Champions program, which rolled out in fall 2019. Taking place at FMC booth No. 3913, the fundraiser will feature a golf simulator where golf course superintendents can grip and rip to secure donations for their local GCSAA chapter. For each yard driven off the tee, FMC will donate 50 cents to that superintendent’s GCSAA chapter. A 300-yard drive will generate a $150 donation.
“We’re very committed to GCSAA and its mission to enhance our industry. This is a fun way for our peers to come together and support the association,” FMC golf and lawn care market manager Mike Sisti said. “We expect to see some healthy competition in the booth among show attendees to see who can drive the ball the farthest and raise the largest donation.”
FMC also plans to establish an ongoing commitment to GCSAA in which FMC will donate a percentage of Fame SC and Rayora fungicide sales directly to local GCSAA chapters.
The FMC True Champions program is a source for golf course superintendents and managers to access product rewards and assurances. It also supports industry initiatives and associations like GCSAA, We Are Golf and RISE.
In product news, Rayora fungicide is a systemic demethylation inhibitor fungicide designed to prevent and cure dollar spot while providing a layer of added protection from brown patch until additional fungicide applications need to be made. Harnessing the power of its active ingredient, flutriafol, Rayora fungicide moves rapidly into green tissue via translaminar and xylem movement. Grass roots can also take up the active ingredient when it is translocated throughout the xylem to impede internal fungal growth. This protects the existing plant as well as new plant growth from emerging infections.
Rayora fungicide is formulated as suspension concentrate and can be easily tank mixed with other fungicides, insecticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators.
