Heat, drought and mechanical stress remain some of the most significant challenges facing turf managers throughout the growing season.

During periods of heat and drought, maintaining consistent turf quality can be challenging even with well-managed nutrition and irrigation programmes.

@SyngentaTurfUK Comprevo has been developed to support the plant’s natural stress response mechanisms, helping turf better cope with heat, drought and other environmental stresses.

Developed through genomics-led research and field testing, Comprevo is designed to fit within an Integrated Turf Management approach, supporting turf quality and resilience during periods of environmental and operational stress.

Broome Manor Golf Club is heading into the colder months with great surface quality.

The ICL ITM strategy, including H2Pro FlowSmart and Greenmaster Liquid Effect Fe, continues to work well and is helping maintain consistently strong performance heading into winter.

As daylight falls, turf can struggle even with well-managed nutrition and moisture. Low Daily Light Integral (DLI) slows recovery and limits performance.
