This past Monday The Stadium Golf Course was closed for a
pre-emergent herbicide application. We
applied prodiamine to all of our maintained turf on the golf course, including
tees, fairways, approaches, rough, and spectator mounds. The majority of the pre-emergent was applied
in liquid form as Stonewall 65 WDG by our John Deere spray rigs. Granular applications were made on areas of
the course that we were unable to be reached by our spray rigs, such as green
surrounds, hilly areas and in between trees.
The granular formulation was Prodiamine with a .43% active ingredient
and a 0-0-8 carrier, applied at a rate of 1lb of active ingredient per
acre. We will perform a second
application of Prodiamine in December at a rate of .5lb of active ingredient
per acre to give us a total of 1.5 lbs of prodiamine per acre per year.
