Ask The Experts

I just bought 1 pound of Drive 75DF. Can you confirm that a level tablespoon equals 0.367 ounces? Also, for spot spraying, the label recommends 2 tablespoons (1 oz) of MSO per gallon of water. However, 0.55 oz of MSO is specified elsewhere.

Which is correct?

Thanks!

Basagran T/O® herbicide Success Snapshot

The Country Club at Mirasol, Sunrise Course- Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.

Raised greens and their many undulations are hallmarks of the Sunrise Course at the Country Club at Mirasol. The Fazio-designed course has challenged pros playing in the Honda Classic PGA Tour event for the past three years.

Tad Altman, director of grounds, works closely with each of the course’s golf course superintendents to manage the 36 holes of golf at Mirasol. Native grasses blowing in from the 800 acres of preserve, annual sedge, nutsedge and crabgrass are ongoing weed challenges. A micro-program and biological control program supplement pre-emergent herbicide applications made several times throughout the year. Altman and his staff incorporate Basagran® T/O herbicide on a daily basis for spot-spraying any breakthrough weeds including yellow nutsedge and annual sedges.

“We have several staff members spot-treating with 2-gallon pump-up sprayers wherever the product is needed, including greens, fairways, tees and roughs” said Altman. “Basagran is a no-brainer. I call it a workhorse – the weeds are gone in a week and it’s a staple for our facility.”
