Approach with customers: “I really enjoy educating people and helping customers solve problems. I work on the front end of bringing products to market. It’s my job to work with our customers and help them understand the solutions that BASF offers from start to finish. That means listening to customers face to face and working with them to break down complex, scientific processes into simple, customer-specific solutions.
For golf courses in the northern U.S. the window of opportunity to preventatively control snow mold turfgrass diseases in winter and early spring is in the fall. Once the snow flies, the window shuts. And if turfgrass is left untreated, pink and gray snow mold can take hold, spread through early spring, and cause poor playing conditions once the snow melts.
BASF Professional Turf & Ornamentals offers several effective solutions that can be applied in the fall to help protect northern turfgrass from snow mold and other diseases that can appear after the snow disappears.
