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.
Have you ever thought you prepared the perfect application, but gotten less-than-perfect results? As the largest component of a spray tank mix, water can significantly impact application quality with hardness, pH differences, or dirtiness. Water conditioners can help to mitigate these issues.
Oil and water might not mix alone, but with the right emulsifier, they can be combined into a stable emulsion. The fascinating science behind emulsion stability reveals how adding the right emulsifier to a pesticide tank mix can ensure a uniform and consistent application.
