Emerald® fungicide and Insignia® fungicide.
Success Snapshot : The Country Club at Mirasol

As one of the most exclusive courses in Palm Beach County, excellent weed control is vital. That's why they use Pendulum AquaCap® herbicide. "AquaCap does a wonderful job," says Smallridge. "I have virtually no weeds and I do virtually no postemergent control."
Le Triomphe Golf & Country Club
Superintendent Scott Poynot blends Pendulum® herbicide and fertilizer to strengthen his turf and relieve weed pressure. The product's most significant benefit for Le Triomphe, beyond decreased weed incidence, is cost savings. On a per-acre basis, Poynot estimates that Pendulum delivers better weed control for 25 percent less in cost compared to competitor products.

Superintendent Jack MacKenzie keeps his course as close to immaculate as possible. Using Insignia® fungicide to control fairy ring helps him get even closer to perfection.
Croasdaile Country Club
Only one disease significantly disturbs the course at Croasdaile Country Club. Unfortunately, it's an "unknown" pythium that has the ability to wipe out entire greens. Superintendent Charles Sheffield turns to Insignia® fungicide for control.
Kings River Golf and Country Club
Courses in California's central valley have crabgrass pressure year-round. But Kings River superintendent Mike Kroeze trusts Pendulum® AquaCap™ herbicide to break the crabgrass life cycle.
Candlewood Country Club
When superintendent Mike Caranci's normal preventive rapid treatment suddenly stopped working, he turned to his distributor for help. The new prescription: Insignia® fungicide. His BASF sales rep arranged to have it shipped directly to the course, and within 36 hours Mike was making his first application. Ten days later, the rapid blight was gone.
Nashawtuc Country Club
Every year, thousands watch the PGA Champion's Fleet Boston Classic at Nashawtuc Country Club. Of those, none see the great threat fairy ring presents to the course, because superintendent Paul Miller switched to Insignia® fungicide. "We've tried different methods and products," says Miller. "Without question, this was the best."
