Signature^® XTRA Stressgard^® testimonial

“I applied Signature^® XTRA Stressgard^® in preparation for our club’s championships in August to ensure the turf was in optimum condition. I’ve now made three applications in total since June, timed to coincide with periods of high summer stress such as drought, heat, and wind.

“Since then we’ve hardly had any cases of Anthracnose and patches that have occurred have been less aggressive than in previous seasons. To date, we’ve had no Microdochium Patch or persisting symptoms of summer stress.

“Even though it’s the only change that has been made, applications of Signature^® XTRA Stressgard^® have enhanced the natural colour of the greens to such a degree that the golf club members have commented on the improved visual appearance of the playing surface.

With monthly applications of Signature^® XTRA Stressgard^® I know the turf is less stressed and susceptible to infection. I have complete confidence in the results of Signature^® XTRA Stressgard^®, and the greens are looking great in advance of our next competition.”
