G high concentrate dark green pigment for predormant and dormant turf that is recommended for use on golf courses , commercial and residential lawns to improve turf quality in winter and early spring . It can also be used as an affordable alternative to the winter overseeding of warm season grasses .
The mix of black and green pigments in Green Lawnger ® TR allows increased absorption of solar radiation to the applied surface , increasing surface temperatures . This effect can help turf grass managers extend the playing season in transitional periods in the autumn and winter , and it can also speed up ice and snow thawing and accelerate spring growth later in the season , allowing early play and improved turf quality in the spring .
When used as part of a winter conditioning programme , Green Lawnger ® TR is an effective tool to limit the development of winter injury symptoms , that can result from direct low temperatures such as ice cover ( suffocation ), crown hydration , desiccation and / or low temperature diseases ( snow moulds ), while promoting rapid and uniform green-up .
Green Lawnger ® TR creates a uniform dark green sward during the winter months , which lasts for up to four weeks , thanks to its ColorLock™ resin technology that ensures strong leaf adhesion and provides resistance to undesirable colour shifts .
Its easy-to-spray formulation makes it easy to integrate into existing maintenance regimes , and can be used alone or in combination with plant protection products with no negative effect on seed germination . Pre-dormant applications may start as low as 1.25 L in 300 L water per 10,000 m2 to blend colour with existing turf growth . Apply after the last mowing and before dormancy to increase surface temperature .
As frost events occur , increasing the dose rate creates a more natural look to turf transition , and the dilution ratio can be adjusted to achieve the desired colour .
