iTurf

A programme of integrated turf practices and treatments tailored to each type of sport and amenity situation.

Groundsmen and greenkeepers are being constantly updated on new ways to manage pitch and course problems. Integrated Turf Management isn’t just another fancy phrase conjured up to baffle or add to bureaucracy. Neither is it a new or different way of working for many. Implementing ITM systems requires turf professionals to draw on all methods available to them in the control of turf problems – cultural, biological and chemical.

Intent on making it as easy as possible for groundsmen to implement ITM based on research data rather than ideas and theory, Scotts Professional instigated a series of trials at the STRI and following receipt of the data, they have launched iTURF - a new system that provides problem-solving documents that can be downloaded quickly and easily.

A programme of integrated turf practices and treatments tailored to each type of sport and amenity situation can be planned in conjunction with the company’s Turf & Amenity team who, using specially developed iTURF software, will provide a site-specific programme for the year that seeks to eliminate problems by taking appropriate early action.

"The integrated turf management approach is all about our company philosophy of using the best products in the most efficient and responsible way.
