We've been answering these questions since we sprayed tees last Wednesday: "Did you dye the tees? Why are they so green? Were they dying?" Yes, we sprayed the tees with a fungicide as part of our routine spray program, and no, we did not intentionally dye them and they certainly were not dying.
The fungicide we used was a newly available product on the market named Civitas. This product application involves including an additive to the spray mix named Harmonizer. Harmonizer is simply green pigment that stimulates the turf and enhances the performance of the fungicide. The characteristic green colour of Harmonizer makes the turf appear to be dyed following the spray application. I am anxious to see how they look today after last night's irrigation cycle and this morning's mowing. We too are curious to know how long the "green tinge" will be hanging around for. I'm not a big fan of this new look our tees are sporting at this time, but it does appear as though the product is performing as expected.
