How to Use in Coptrol to Control Algae in Golf Courses and Greens

Algal scum can cause chronic problems on greens,

especially those with poor air circulation,

compacted soils and wet areas. Algal growth is

encouraged by extended periods of rainy, overcast

and warm weather. Algal scums slow water infiltration,

keep thatch wet for extended periods, and impede

oxygen and other gas diffusion into and out of soils.

 

As well as the danger of blocking watering

systems algae can affect the appearance

of the ornamental ponds on courses.

 

Coptrol will not harm turf on fairways, tees or greens.

 

Algae and Algal Blooms   There is no easy definition of an alga. Algae are generally microscopic organisms, are generally thought of as simple aquatic plants which do not have roots, stems or leaves and have primitive methods of reproduction. Click here for further information on algae.
