Key information tailored to your region
Knowing the current agronomic conditions in your region will help take the guesswork out of application timing. With a full dashboard of information, including soil temperatures, soil moisture, dollar spot risk percentage and more, you can reference conditions in your area at a glance.

An easy way to identify turf diseases
Diagnosing and managing diseases can be challenging. To help superintendents better identify, target and control key diseases in golf course turf, Syngenta offers its free
turfgrass disease identification guide.
This digital tool provides in-depth information about more than 25 key turf diseases including dollar spot, fairy ring, spring dead spot,
Pythium diseases and more. The guide contains easy-to-use filters, including turf type and geography, to help users quickly find disease information.
To help with proper identification, the guide provides images along with details like:
- Causal agents
- Symptoms
- Conditions favoring disease development
- Traditionally susceptible geographies
Photo identification cannot replace sending a turf sample to a diagnostic lab, and correct identification is only the first step in effective disease management. The guide also provides management tips and recommended control products to help superintendents take the next steps toward improved turf quality.
Take-all patch is one of 28 diseases included in the guide. Photo source: Pete Dernoeden, Ph.D. Visit the guide or access it via the GreenCast Turf App.
