This service plan is specifically designed to address the unique requirements of natural turfgrass athletic fields. By integrating the weed control measures of the commercial-3 treatment plan with the enhanced fertility provided by the BermudaMAX fertilization plan, your sports complex will be well-equipped to compete at the highest level in the region.
This plan effectively prevents a variety of common annual weeds, including henbit, chickweed, bittercress, poa annua, crabgrass, foxtails, speedwell, oxalis, black medic, spurge, and others. It is important to note that tuberous weeds, such as nutgrass and other sedge varieties, are resistant to pre-emergent controls and will not be managed within this program. Additionally, perennial weeds like dallisgrass may present challenges for control due to their rapid propagation rates, diverse reproduction methods, and the limited treatment frequency selected. These weed types may require further intervention to manage effectively.
This program capitalizes on the inherent capabilities of bermudagrass to utilize nutrients efficiently. It applies the maximum recommended amounts of fertilizers with precision, ensuring that the grass receives the essential nutrients necessary for robust growth and development. This approach guarantees that your turfgrass performs optimally throughout the entire growing season.
