Syngenta Professional Products, a company that manufactures pest management products and growing media for professional markets, donated $1,500 as a Platinum Sponsor in support of the 11th Annual Sullivan County Challenge.
This year’s golf tournament, sponsored by the New York State Turfgrass Association, Grossinger Country Club, and the Hudson Valley Golf Course Superintendents Association, was held at Grossinger Country Club in Liberty, New York, on August 18, 2010.
Proceeds from the event, which drew 116 attendees, will be used to support 2011 Turfgrass Advocacy Day which is NYSTA’s annual lobby day event, the lobbying efforts of the New York Alliance for Environmental Concerns, and ongoing research and education.
Syngenta offers more than 40 professional products and services in the lawn and garden, home care and growing media industries. It is a leading agribusiness in North America which manufactures high-quality plant growth regulators as well as weed, insect and disease control products. One of the goals of the company is to assist golf course superintendents with turf management by preventing and curing diseases. In addition, the company provides a web-based service called GreenCastTM (www.greencastonline.com) that can deliver pest, weather and product information directly to a customer’s desktop.
