Pre-emergent application

The weather has finally cooperated this week.  We have had our pre-emergent application scheduled every week for the last three week. On Thursday the 28th, we were finally able to coordinate this application.  We  started spraying at 11:00AM on the 28th and we plan on finishing the application late tomorrow evening.

Pre-emergent Application

Unfortunately, the course received over 1.5 inches of rain over the weekend and we were unable to spray our pre-emergent application on the 11th.  We have reschedule this application on Thursday the 21st. We will also push back the post emergent application around greens and tees.

Monday 11th Pre-emergent application

This coming Monday we are schedule for our spring pre-emergent application.  We will be closing the course for the entire day due to this application.  We will be spraying Barricade wall to wall for pre-emergnet control of summer weeds.  We will also be spraying a post emergent around greens and tees. These area were missed during our fall application of spectacle due to its mobility. This post emergent will take care of any Poa Annua or rye that may have emerged over the last month.  This chemical is also very mobile, therefore, we want to keep all play of the course for the day.  Any traffic on these greens before the chemical dries will cause damage to the winter rye.

Reminder:  We do have rain in the forecast over the weekend.  We may need to reschedule this application later in the week if the course is to wet for the spraying equipment.

Thanks,
