Pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides are all chemicals used
to maintain the idyllic appealof a lush green golf course. To
ensure the health and sustainability of turfgrass,
differentchemical agents have been specially synthesized to promote
growth in turfgrass whilepreventing damage.
1.POST-EMERGENT HERBICIDES Post-emergent herbicides tackle both
enduring and yearly broadleaf (weeds with leafshapes that don't
look like grass), and some even control weeds that look like
grass.
2.FUNGICIDES Fungicides are biocide chemical compounds or
natural organic entities used to repress orkill fungal growths or
parasitic spores.
3.PLANT STIMULANTSPlant hormones are signal atoms produced
inside the plant and occurring in lowconcentration. Hormones
regulate local cellular processes and move to other areas of
theplant.
