Endurant TE turf enhancer for providing springtime green vibrant grass

Endurant TE is easy to use and mix with other products. TE turf colorant provides color uniformity and vibrancy. The TE colorant, like all Endurant products in the full line of colorants, can mask the discoloration from chemical treatments or other turf challenges. Best of all, TE provides a lush green appearance on a regular basis making it a popular colorant for golf course superintendents seeking to please their most discerning club members and guests.

Endurant TE is equipment friendly and tank-mix compatible with fertilizers and other chemicals.

TE is to be applied at a rate of 16 to 24 ounces per acre. Increase or decrease the application rate to reach the desired color depth. Turf conditions such as chlorophyl levels and rate of photosynthesis, equipment calibration and other conditions influencing grass depth of color cause coverage rates to vary.

Endurant turf colorants come in  multiple shades of green and multiple concentrations. The Endurant line of colorants are formulated to match the most popular varieties of turfgrass species, including bermuda grass, perennial rye grass and others. All of the Endurant blends are highly concentrated. Endurant is often referred to as “liquid overseed” by golf course superintendents who prefer Endurant over the practice of overseeding, over-watering and over-fertilizing.

Endurant TC, the original blend of turf colorant is formulated to match the widely popular species of bermuda grass. Endurant FW is an even more highly concentrated blend of organic pigments to provide the deep green associated with golf course fairways. Endurant Premium, the deepest green formulation of turf colorant, and Endurant PR, for a bright perennial rye grass, are two other options in the Endurant line. Especially unique is Endurant TE, the turf enhancer colorant that is formulated for actively growing grass.

Once you’ve selected Endurant FW as the shade of green you desire, you will want to select the best application rate. Learn more about how to paint for professionals here. When considering the application rate, the desired depth of color is the most important element to consider. The depth of color will be obtained by the combination of the colorant and the amount of green pigment in the grass blade if the grass is not in dormancy and is still providing green through chlorophyl and the photosynthesis process. A higher application rate might be considered for dormant turf that is lacking green color and is instead completely brown or straw-like yellow.

Check out these photos of Endurant FW applied at various rates at golf courses in Naples, Florida and West Palm Beach, Florida. Both of these clubs are located in south Florida, with Naples on the west coast of the state and West Palm Beach on the east coast of Florida. Endurant FW is highly concentrated for the deep green sought for fairways.

Pinehurst Seminar in February offers demonstrations and samples of Endurant turf colorants

USGA Green Section sponsored a workshop at Pinehurst Resort in North Carolina that brought together experts in turf colorants. Several of the most experienced golf course superintendents shared how they used colorants, particularly for fairways.

In his recent blog, Carolina Greenkeeper shared his thoughts about the trip to the Pinehurst Colorant Seminar with Assistant Superintendent Ben Albrecht. Here is what he had to say (then, read the rest of his blog here):

“It was a great opportunity for us to see first hand and learn tips and techniques from guys that have been doing it better for longer (this is year two of coloring fairways at Carolina).  Anyway, I found the workshop to be very informative and hopefully you will notice improved results in future applications as we continue to strive for high standards.”  Read the rest of the GREENKEEPER blog: click here.
