turf nematicide<br />

Eagle Green Care<br />

The only CRD approved nematicide in<br />

the UK for protecting golf greens, soccer<br />

pitches and all sports and amenity turf<br />

WHY Eagle Green Care<br />

❚ Laboratory tests have shown that Eagle<br />

Green Care will rapidly kill all plant<br />

parasitic nematodes<br />

❚ Significantly reduces ectoparasitic and<br />

endoparasitic nematode levels in golf<br />

greens and sportsfields<br />

In recent years, damage to sports and amenity turfgrass by<br />

plant parasitic nematodes has become a major problem.<br />

These microscopic parasites can feed externally on grass<br />

roots (ectoparasites) or completely enter the root to feed<br />

(endoparasites). Across Europe many turfgrass managers are<br />

experiencing severe turf chlorosis and turf loss on putting<br />

greens, football pitches, bowling greens, and so on.<br />

Spiral nematode damage<br />

The nematodes use their feeding<br />

spear (stylet) to pierce plant root<br />

cells and feed on cell contents<br />

Use plant protection products safely. Always read the label and product<br />

information before use.<br />

Reducing nematode populations in a sports turf can quickly<br />

promote an increase in turf quality and performance.<br />

Currently Eagle Green Care is the only nematicide in the UK<br />

that is approved for use on sportsfields and amenity turf<br />

areas.<br />

How Eagle Green Care works<br />

Eagle Green Care contains polysulphides which react with<br />

enzymes in animal cells and have a potent effect against<br />

insect eggs and plant parasitic nematodes. It kills all types of<br />

nematodes on contact.<br />

It is recommended that Eagle Green Care is drenched into<br />

the surface of grass where nematode-induced damage is<br />

apparent, or nematode populations in soil exceed<br />

thresholds.<br />

If in doubt seek expert advice from your local <strong>Rigby</strong> <strong>Taylor</strong><br />
