Timely article as for we are seeing an uptick of creeping bentgrass samples in the lab perceived to be a disease, when it’s nothing more than this.

Great use of our turf growth potential model! Having data to offer insights is major key 🔑 @SyngentaTurf @spiio_official #spiiodata

[Matt Gourlay, CGCS, MG, AGS @mattgourlaycgcs]

Turfgrass growth potential over the next 7 days is significantly better than it was during the 7 days immediately following the aerification and DryJect treatment of greens on April 28.
