Pests, Weeds & Diseases ID
It is important to fully understand what you are dealing with when you encounter pests, weeds or diseases on your sports turf. You need to identify what the problem is and manage the area quickly and effectively to minimise any damage to the sports surface.
Our specialist research team has some of the world’s most knowledgeable and experienced pathologists, who provide a fast and comprehensive service for the diagnosis and identification of all pests, weeds and diseases, along with practical advice on how to best manage your problem areas and eradicate any risk of damage to your sports turf.
We offer three areas of service:
- Sample Analysis & Advice – most turf disease problems can be diagnosed from a sample taken by the individual sports club/facility or one of our advisors. We provide a thorough and accurate analysis of the problem, with advice on how best to treat the turf and additional guidance on how to limit or prevent future problems.
