Fall weather is just around the corner and turf managers need to plan ahead for the unique needs of the season. Now is the time to stock up on CastAway DG, with the window of correct usage being time-sensitive as rains return and temperatures fall.
With that in mind, here are some fall Best Management Practice (BMP) application guidelines for CastAway DG.
- First application should be at the labeled HIGH rate (5 lbs./M, covers 8,000 ft2)
- Sequential applications can be at the labeled LOW (3.0 lbs./M, covers 13,300 ft2) or HIGH rate
- Reapplication interval can be highly variable, dependent on soil and weather conditions
- Multiple applications are likely necessary
- Water in all applications, beginning with 0.10” of water, followed by a second application if necessary to fully disperse product
- Treat putting green edges if treating collars
- Uniform application is best achieved by using The Andersons Model 2000 or 2000 SR spreaders, cone setting 8
