Severely thinning turf
Treatment and Control Two applications of Triple Crown ® Golf insecticide at 25 fl. oz./acre 7-14 days apart with the addition of a surfactant to allow for better penetration into the leaf sheath. Consideration of a fertilizer and possibly a fungicide application may be beneficial in the recovery from injury. Triple Crown ® Golf insecticide works through contact, translaminar and systemic activity – making it a valuable tool against sucking pests that feed on a plant’s vascular system, as well as foliar-feeding insects. Triple Crown ® Golf insecticide is a broad spectrum insect control product with multiple modes of action, affording you flexibility in your turf maintenance program.
