Heavy rains can cost golf courses hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost revenue. Some of those losses can be prevented using Penterra. Penterra is the fastest-acting soil penetrant on the market. This is a wetting agent, with other long term soil health benefits, that gets water moving through the soil profile quickly.

Penterra can be applied in advance of heavy rains that are predictable or likely given weather forecasts. If or when flooding does occur, Penterra can also be applied once flood waters recede just enough.

Endurant PR: Perennial Rye Grass Colorant

Endurant has a full line of turfgrass colorants to match the most popular turfgrass species. Endurant PR is perennial rye grass colorant to provide the color of the vibrant and popular bright green of perennial rye.

Choosing the application rate is as important as choosing the shade of green. So once you know it’s perennial rye grass colorant that you desire, now you need to select the best application rate. Application rates vary based on many factors including the current shade of grass, current depth of color and desired depth of color. Dormant grass that is completely brown due to drought or dormancy might do better with a higher application rate while grass that is still producing chlorophyl through photosynthesis will have more green color in the grass blade already and may require lower application rates.

Endurant PR’s recommended application rates for fairways range from 6 to 10 gallons per acre. Endurant PR is recommended to be applied on greens at rates of 2 to 5 gallons per acre. Below you see the results of a lower application rate providing a lighter green compared with the higher application rate that provides a brighter green. The colorant is the same and both are applied to dormant turf, but the resulting color depth creates a very different effect based on the application rate.

Here is a look at Endurant PR perennial rye grass colorant applied at a lower than average application rate at Legacy Hills golf course in Georgetown, TX.

Endurant PR, Perennial Rye Grass Colorant, was applied at a rate of 2 gallons per acre to give the look of lighter perennial rye grass.
