ICL Turf Defence tank-mix

ICL’s proven Turf Defence tank-mix supports integrated turf management (ITM) strategies in reducing Microdochium patch risk ahead of the autumn and winter seasons.

What products are in the ICL Turf Defence tank-mix?

Combining Greenmaster Liquid Iron Effect and H2Pro FlowSmart, this tank-mix enhances turf resilience and improves surface conditions, two key factors in minimising the risk of disease development.

What do the trials show?

Independent STRI trials have shown that the Turf Defence tank-mix improves turf health, accelerates surface drying, and reduces conditions that favour Microdochium patch, resulting in cleaner surfaces and more consistent playing qualities.

How does the tank-mix work?

Greenmaster Liquid Iron Effect delivers a fast-acting iron source to improve turf colour and resilience, helping turf withstand conditions conducive to disease development.

H2Pro FlowSmart is a penetrant surfactant that improves water movement through the rootzone, accelerating surface drying and reducing moisture levels that encourage disease.

How and when should it be applied?

Recommended applications for the tank-mix are monthly from September to February, applying:

• Greenmaster Liquid Iron Effect at 20 L/ha

• H2Pro FlowSmart at 10 L/ha

• in 400 L/ha of water

Why use it as part of your ITM programme?

“We understand the challenges that cool, damp weather brings to turf management,” said Henry Bechelet, Technical Manager at ICL. “This straightforward tank-mix provides a practical tool to help turf managers maintain consistent playing surfaces under high disease pressure.”

The Turf Defence tank-mix offers a reliable option for proactively strengthening ITM programmes during challenging autumn and winter conditions.
