Have you ever wondered what happens at a turfgrass research facility? Walk through the O.J. Noer Turfgrass Research & Education Facility with Glen Obear to learn about the facility and Exacto’s involvement there.
Glen provides insight into some of Exacto’s research at the facility including adjuvant usage with fungicide, wetting agent testing, and more. Partnering with excellent facilities like the O.J. Noer is one of the ways Exacto puts lab-tested products to the test before putting it to use in real-world turf and ornamental applications.
The O.J. Noer facility has a broad variety of turf types, soil types, and microenvironments and a presence of diseases including dollar spot, pythium, brown patch, localized dry spot (LDS), and others common to the Midwest. Specialized irrigation systems help with creating the perfect testing environment for wetting agent studies.
The O.J. Noer Turfgrass Facility is affiliated with the University of Wisconsin Madison’s Turfgrass Program and the Wisconsin Turfgrass Association.
Exacto’s mission is to empower applicators, growers, and resource managers with advanced product solutions so they can operate successfully and sustainably. Sharing insights like this provides turf and ornamental managers with behind-the-scenes information to better understand agronomic chemical products.
Surfactants are widely used across the world – in fact, you probably use surfactants every day in soaps, detergents, toothpaste, cosmetics, and countless other applications. Surfactants are just as important in agriculture and turf and understanding how and when to use the right surfactant can make or break a successful application.
Pre-emergence herbicide applications offer a valuable tool to prevent or reduce weed infestations early in the season. While these applications are helpful, it can be a challenge to achieve optimum results. Adjuvant use is increasing and studies continue to prove their effectiveness.
Leaders from Exacto and other companies recently took part in advocacy activities in Washington, DC, engaging in twenty-four meetings with congressional leadership, senators, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). They addressed a major challenge related to the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
