Sprayers are out in full force
Today we are spraying greens with a foliar fertilizer combination. Weekly applications like this are the fastest way to heel from aerification. Our greens are sprayed using a "sprayhawk." I do not use a riding sprayer on the greens for a number of reasons including wear and tear.
Fairways are being spraying with a chemical called Primo. It is a growth regulator that stunts cell elongation in the plants. Essentially, the grass won't grow as fast and helps us manage clippings. With our recent granular fertilizer applications and the warm weather we are growing quick!
