Golf Business News – Aberdovey successfully tackles dollar spot with Maxtima

Following the introduction of Maxtima fungicide, which provides turf-safe broad-spectrum disease control of microdochium patch and dollar spot, Nigel Green, Course Manager at Aberdovey Golf Club, reported excellent results incorporating it into his turf management programme. of a dollar.

Established in 1892, Aberdovey is one of the oldest golf courses in Wales and regularly features in the top 100 golf courses in the UK and Ireland.

“At Aberdovey Golf Club, maintaining the health and playability of our greens is always a priority, so when Dollar Spot signs started to appear on the greens and fairways, I knew immediate action was needed. That’s when Maxtima started playing, and I have to say, it was really successful,” said Green.

“I first used Maxtima when I was given a case by BASF. I carefully monitored the time, weather conditions, and every detail of the application process. I applied it at the rate of 1.5 liters per hectare, and within just three to four days, I started noticing results. The Dollar Spot, which had been a growing nuisance, was successfully stopped in its tracks. The quick action and effectiveness of the product was immediately apparent, which was incredibly reassuring.

“The cool and dewy mornings we have experienced recently have not been good for turf disease control, but even under these challenging conditions, the Maxtima has proved its worth. After seeing the immediate effect in the first places, I decided to extend the application to two more vegetables. The results were so good that I ended up managing all of our greens, and I’m happy to report that Maxtima has successfully stopped the Dollar Spot across the board.”

Green continues: “Maxtima is absorbed into the leaf effectively even at low temperatures and continues to work long after application. This means that in addition to its use against the dollar spot in the summer months, it should be an effective addition to the tools we use to control the microdochium patch.

“Looking at its performance, Maxtima is now the backbone of our management’s arsenal. I’ll use it as needed, and I’ll make sure I have it in stock to make sure we’re ready to deal with any future outbreaks. The peace of mind that comes with knowing we have a reliable, fast-acting solution like Maxtima on hand is invaluable. I would highly recommend it to any course manager looking for an effective and reliable product to keep their greens in top condition.”
