Centrogen Turf Weed Management programs

Centrogen Turf Weed Management Programs include use of our exclusive Weedbug Wick-wiping technology and have been successfully implemented against problem
invasive turf weeds such as:

• Elastic (Wire) Grass
• Bahia Grass
• Paspallum
• Parramatta Grass
• Onion Weed

Quality Improvements

Centrogen has demonstrated an ability to implement quality improvements to golf courses and both high and low profile park and recreational facilities. Reduction and continued control of invasive weed populations is both more likely and more pronounced using Centrogen and Roundup Biactive.

Reduced Maintenance

A 3-year trial was conducted from 1996 to 1999 across a series of Brisbane Parks using the Weedbug technology to assess weed control in small plots.

The requirement for vegetation maintenance was greatly reduced in Weedbug-treated plots where low-growing species (Couch) were able to dominate the sward due to control of taller grasses.

Mowing frequency based on a 200mm intervention height was reduced from a 35-45 mows per annum requirement in the untreated plots to a 12-15 mows per annum requirement in Weedbug-treated plots from year 1 of the trial.

Experience has also shown that the same reduced mowing regime can be maintained with just 1 Weedbug treatment per year after year 3 of the program.
