💥TESTIMONIAL TUESDAY - SCOTT MULLER, NEWINGTON COLLEGE TURF MANAGER

“I’ve been using Turfcare seed for about five to seven years now at Newington College and it’s always been good with great colour and strike rate. But this year with the Premium Ultra Green rye, it’s been next level. Not sure if it’s a tweak to the blend or what, but it’s easily the best the fields have looked since I’ve been here.

We’ve got about 3.5 hectares across AFL, rugby union and league, and everyone’s noticed it! The headmaster, sportsmaster, the whole crew.

What stood out was how quick it came away. Seed went out on the Friday, we could see it coming up within four days, and we were mowing two weeks later.

We’ve also been running Floratine with it, and the colour and strength this year has been unreal.

I’d have no problem recommending it to anyone doing an oversow.”

What a fantastic few days at the TSTMA Conference in Launceston! ⛳️

Great to catch up with so many people from across the Tassie turf industry and be involved in really good conversations around turf management, products and what’s happening out in the field.

A big thank you to the Tasmanian turf community for the warm welcome, hospitality and support throughout the event. We genuinely appreciate it. 💪

Also a huge thanks to our stand partner, Nick Clayton from Mineral Magic, for helping make the day a success.

🟠 BLACKOUT + PERVADE = A Smarter Way to Tackle Surface Algae

Seeing algae hanging around in damp, weak or compacted areas?

Blackout and Pervade work hand in hand to help clean up the profile and improve surface conditions.

Blackout is a targeted blend of microbes and enzymes designed to aggressively compete for algae food sources while helping break down surface residue left behind by algae activity.

For best results, apply after a quality soil penetrant like Pervade. Pervade helps move water and product deeper into the profile, improving pe*******on and helping manage excess moisture, one of the biggest contributors to surface algae.

✔️ Ideal for problematic algae areas
✔️ Works in high and low temperature conditions
✔️ Performs in aerobic and anaerobic soils
✔️ Great fit with aerification programs

Talk to your Turfcare rep about building a Blackout + Pervade program into your winter turf management strategy.

💰 BIG VALUE. LOW USE RATE. SERIOUS POA CONTROL.

Quali-Pro® Negate® has been repositioned to deliver even stronger value for turf managers.
✔️ ONLY $150 per bottle
✔️ JUST 110g/ha use rate
✔️ Fully systemic Poa annua + broadleaf w**d control

Perfect for:
• Fairways
• Sportsfields
• Roughs
• General turf areas

🍂 Why act in autumn?
This is when Poa is actively germinating and easiest to control before winter pressure ramps up.

Get in early and you can:
✅ Reduce spring seedhead pressure
✅ Improve turf quality
✅ Minimise repeat applications

Leave it too late and you risk:
❌ More applications
❌ Tougher control
❌ Increased surface disruption

📌 Best suited to couch fairways and sports turf where selective Poa suppression is critical. At only 110g/ha, Negate® remains one of the most cost-effective turf herbicide options on the market backed by the confidence of being Australia’s only turf-registered metsulfuron product.

👉 Talk to your Turfcare rep about locking in your autumn Poa program.

Looking for a simple way to hold colour and keep chlorophyll levels up in the plant without excessive growth?

Knife Plus + Renaissance is a strong foliar combination for maintaining healthy, consistent turf colour while supporting plant health through stress periods.

Knife Plus delivers rapid green-up, excellent foliar uptake and improved uniformity, while Renaissance provides the key micronutrients and building blocks needed for chlorophyll production and overall plant strength. Renaissance also helps improve stress tolerance and micronutrient efficiency.

Together they can help:
• Maintain colour and visual presentation
• Support chlorophyll production
• Improve plant health under stress
• Enhance foliar uptake and efficiency
• Promote stronger, more uniform turf

Both products are designed for foliar uptake and should not be washed in immediately after application.

Talk to your Turfcare rep about building Knife Plus and Renaissance into your turf program.
