Heat, drought and mechanical stress remain some of the most significant challenges facing turf managers throughout the growing season. During periods of heat and drought, maintaining consistent turf quality can be challenging even with well-managed nutrition and irrigation programmes. @SyngentaTurfUK Comprevo has been developed to support the plantโ€™s natural stress response mechanisms, helping turf better cope with heat, drought and other environmental stresses. Developed through genomics-led research and field testing, Comprevo is designed to fit within an Integrated Turf Management approach, supporting turf quality and resilience during periods of environmental and operational stress.

Roots were longer, deeper, and more branched than untreated plants, supporting stronger early turf development. Full trial details here: loom.ly/3YMXWj8 #TurfandLandscape
