Trial Overview

This trial will evaluate Appear™ II, Syngenta’s advanced phosphite fungicide. Appear™ II is designed to suppress Pythium and Anthracnose while enhancing turf quality, natural colour, and stress tolerance. Its highly soluble liquid formulation offers exceptional ease of use and tank‑mix compatibility, making it a valuable component of preventative summer disease programs.

With true systemic activity, Appear™ II is absorbed through both foliage and roots. It moves throughout the plant to support whole‑plant protection during periods of heat, humidity, and environmental stress.

Expected Trial Outcomes

• Improved turf colour and visual quality during high‑stress periods
• Suppression of Pythium blight and support in Anthracnose management
• Enhanced stress tolerance during heat and moisture fluctuations
• Improved turf consistency when used in a programmed approach

Who Should Participate?

• Golf courses managing Pythium risk on greens, tees, or fairways
• Superintendents seeking improved turf colour without excessive growth
• Courses operating in warm, humid, coastal environments
• Turf managers looking for a flexible, tank‑mix‑friendly disease management tool

Trial Benefits

• Evaluate a true phosphite fungicide with documented turf quality benefits
• Compare real‑world performance under Maritime disease pressure
• Generate independent, local field data to support confident program decisions

Trial Overview

This trial will examine the performance of Precip Acres™, a water‑conservation soil surfactant developed specifically for large‑acreage turf management in Canada. Precip Acres™ is formulated to improve water infiltration and extend soil hydration, helping turf managers optimize irrigation and rainfall while supporting consistent playing conditions.

Designed to balance performance with affordability, Precip Acres™ delivers a targeted blend of surfactant chemistries that reduce surface tension and improve water movement throughout the soil profile, making it well‑suited for fairways, roughs, and high‑use turf areas.

Expected Trial Outcomes

• Improved water infiltration from rainfall and irrigation
• More uniform soil moisture over time
• Reduced water loss due to runoff or uneven penetration
• Enhanced turf performance during dry or variable weather conditions

Who Should Participate?

• Courses managing large acreage with irrigation efficiency goals
• Turf teams facing inconsistent moisture or dry patch development
• Facilities prioritizing water conservation and resource efficiency
• Superintendents looking for a cost‑effective hydration solution across multiple turf zones

Trial Benefits

• Assess a Canada‑focused soil surfactant under real course conditions
• Support proactive water management during changing climate patterns
• Generate local data on hydration consistency and turf response

Trial Overview

This trial will evaluate Digest Fuel™, an advanced organic matter management solution from Turf Fuel engineered to accelerate the breakdown of surface organic layers and improve soil performance. Digest Fuel™ delivers laccase, an enzyme capable of degrading lignin (one of the most resistant components of organic matter), paired with Turf Fuel’s Reaction Technology, which energizes beneficial soil microbes.

Together, these dual modes of action drive faster organic matter digestion and improved water infiltration, creating firmer, more resilient playing surfaces over time. 

Expected Trial Outcomes

• Reduced organic matter accumulation in key rootzone layers
• Improved water movement and surface firmness
• Enhanced rootzone health and soil structure
• More consistent playability across treated areas

Who Should Participate?

• Courses managing excessive thatch or organic layer buildup
• Greens or fairways experiencing soft conditions or poor infiltration
• Superintendents seeking non‑mechanical support for OM management
• Facilities looking to improve firmness without increasing disruption

Trial Benefits

• Evaluate a unique, enzyme‑driven approach to organic matter control
• Compare performance beyond traditional microbial‑only solutions
• Generate local, superintendent‑driven data on firmness and infiltration improvements
