Keep Greens Clean this Spring with CastAway™ DG

With spring weather fast approaching, planning is key to ensuring your greens are ready for the first rounds of the season. Superintendents across the country are looking to CastAway DG to keep greens clean and maximize playability.


ABOUT CASTAWAY DG
The newest addition to our line of specialty fertilizers, CastAway DG is a natural fertilizer with high protein content and nutrients derived from tea seed meal. CastAway DG also features patented Dispersing Granule (DG) Technology, which allows the granules to dissolve with minimal irrigation and move more quickly into the soil profile.


Applications of CastAway DG tea seed meal fertilizer vary based on timing, soil and weather conditions. Trust these Best Management Practice (BMPs) application guidelines to maximize efficacy:

  • First application should be at the labeled HIGH rate (6 lbs./M, covers 6,600 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
