Product News Registration approved for Legacy growth regulator SePRO Corp. has received federal registration for Legacy turf growth regulator from the EPA for use on both cool- and warm-season golf course turfgrasses.
It integrates SePRO patented synergy technology and is said to be the only turf growth regulator that combines dual sites of action and plant uptake. "Legacy is the result of many years of research focusing on the synergy derived from combining Type IIA and Type IIB turf growth regulators," said Roger Storey, vice president. "Feedback provided by the golf course superintendent community helped guide our research and development resulting in Legacy, which we feel it is the next generation of turf growth regulation."  New ultra-low rate herbicide adjuvant now available Precision Laboratories Inc. has released Transport Ultra for the turf industry. It is an ultra-low use rate ammonium sulfate replacement product that combines nonionic surfactant, water conditioning agents and ammonium ions in a convenient premix formulation. It enhances the performance of weak acid herbicides, such as dicamba, phenoxies and glyphosate, by sequestering hard water ions and protonating the herbicide for faster uptake and translocation. It improves early weed control, reduces product handling and won’t plug nozzles like ammonium sulfate. "Transport Ultra is innovative, thanks to the extra surfactants for added performance against tough weeds. We’re excited to provide turf managers with a product that is very easy to use, while still providing exceptional results," said Don Spier, vice president of turf and ornamentals at Precision Laboratories. "By producing such a low-use rate product, we’ve eliminated handling heavy bags of ammonium sulfate." Visit http://www.precisionlab.com/transportultra.
