Tupersan

[phill]

I'm looking at spraying Tupersan on Penncross Bent greens to take out Bermuda encroachment. I was wondering if any of you out there have used it with any success. I've heard mixed reveiws from some superintendents but I'm just trying to find out some more info before we make the application.

i have found to lower mowing height to below .25 like around .19 or so and turflon ester has worked pretty well for me, just keep it low and do not apply too much fert. If you keep it low on fertility you shoud see better results.

Also, spring applications seem to have the best results

I'm actually going to spray Tupersan on my approaches and one pass around the entire green this season. Going to start in the spring and go low rates every two weeks. Have heard of a lot of success with Tupersan concerning this issue in my area, so hopefully that will carry over with me. Good luck with it.
