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.
Failed weed control may resemble herbicide resistance, but it’s not always the culprit. Recent cases of HPPD-inhibitor (group 27) herbicide failures have shown that certain application errors are more common culprits than resistance. This research shows ways to overcome these application challenges.
Cutting-edge discussions on golf course maintenance, including adjuvants and wetting agents, took place at the 2024 GCSAA Conference. The Exacto team was in full swing, bringing spray adjuvants, wetting agents, and innovative formulations to the table.
