    Any one using the turf screen product? Your area and results from using? Opinions, etc?

    Yes it works. I have been applying on greens and approaches for 6 weeks now. 1.7oz/1000. Color is great and the greens require less water and wilt less.

    Will never leave this product out of my tank. Great product that gives us peace of mind. I have observed better roots, cooler canopy temps, more effective syringe cycles, no LDS, less water, and a better looking plant. Getting ready to go out with my second app. 1.5 oz is my rate

    Is this the same as the Par product sold by Harrell's or the other pigment products? I just heard about it last week. I have been using Par for two years now and am very happy with it. I was just wondering if this was another pigment or something completely different that I can incorporate with my program as well.

    What do you guys do about the cup staining issues from products like Par and Fourome? Blue cups look like hell and that stuff never washes off. I'm too lazy to put cup covers on before spraying

    We put cup covers on because we aren't too lazy.

    That sounds pretty lazy, I mean you gotta go walk over to pull out the flag - youre already there, just stick a rag in the cup.

    I 100% agree with the 2 statements above. Just but a cover, rage, drain cap anything over the top. You're walking over there to remove the pin anyways.
    Is anyone using this ultradwafts? I have a gallon here in the office and on its label it says the best results are when the air temperatures are between 40-75F

    Yup, It's pretty lazy on my part so in order to solve the problem I have eliminated the use of all pigmented products. Beats the hell out of unnecessary bending

    So, not even spray indicator in the tank?

    I don't use spray indicator, just a foam marker. My nozzles don't clog so no use painting the greens

    Certainly a different approach.

    I carry a one gallon Lesco sprayer on the rig. Washes indicator dye right off. (and I don't have to bend over much.)

    I don't use dye or spray indicator either. It's not cause I'm lazy, though. I'm not even the one doing the spraying.

    Who needs to take the flag out when spraying the green? I can spray greens in about an hour, taking out the flag would slow me down considerably. Ive got lots of weeds to spray and leaks to fix and so forth :)

    Since this thread has already been hijacked I wanted to say that I have been using the foam inserts we bought for aerification to plug our cup holes with we simply cut one about 2-3" long and carry it on the mower/sprayer for this and for dragging sand into the greens. there very light weight and were older ones that had already been torn up pretty badly from 5-6yrs of aerifications.

    To cover the cups, we....errrr...I mean, my spray tech uses one of those 4" round plastic drain grates that we filled with spray foam. Sits in a cup perfectly and overlaps the edges just enough so that it doesn't fall it. At $2.00, he can lose it, break it, or whatever without me caring enough to terminate.

    Does anybody have a problem with turfscreen getting all over the flags on greens?

    Is there anything I can spray or do to the flag to prevent turning them green.

    Heavy dews and slow drying times in Korea= green flags.

    Thank you in advance if you have a solution.
