Promote Plant Health with Civitas and get to the root of fungus control

Learn more from the CIVITAS team at the Golf Industry Show in Las Vegas, Nevada

 

Mississauga, ON – January 20, 2012 – Understanding and embracing Plant Health is the key to effective and sustainable turf management. When turf is at its healthiest it requires less inputs to keep it that way. CIVITAS is proven to improve overall plant health by suppressing diseases and preventing them from taking over. Visit CIVITAS at Booth 2268 at this year’s Golf Industry Show, February 28 to March 2 in Las Vegas, NV to learn more about the importance of incorporating Plant Health into your turf management program.

“Just like good diet and exercise helps us stay healthy, CIVITAS works to keep your turf healthy and resilient,” explains Reinie Drygala, Category Manager for Lawncare Products. “By improving the turf’s health, CIVITAS delivers effective fungus prevention and control.”

Superintendents are seeing the benefits of including CIVITAS in their turf management plan:

  • Quicker recovery from damage and wear 
  • Faster green-up in the spring
  •    
  • Decreases in the amount of water and nutrients required 
  • Turf that is better positioned to deal with drought

These are typical downstream benefits of using ISR (induced systemic resistance). CIVITAS is the only turf management solution that activates ISR and other systemic immune responses to turn on the natural defenses of the plant to fight off fungus.

At this year’s show we will be discussing the importance of embracing plant health by using CIVITAS as part of your season-long turf management program. You’ll see a sneak peak of our upcoming advancements:

  • CIVITAS ONE, harmonizer and synthetic isoparaffin all-in-one, is a new premixed formulation for your greens and tees.
  • And coming soon, CIVITAS coverage has been extended for effective control of warm season diseases, such as Southern Blight, Spring Dead Spot, Large Patch Zoysia and Dollar Spot for Paspalum.
