Syngenta Professional Products recently announced a newly redesigned and enhanced GreenCast information service (www.greencastonline.com). The GreenCast online portal offers its users free access to a wealth of information, to help golf course superintendents make more informed agronomic and business decisions. The new enhancements will help educate superintendents about pest management through an improved library, podcasts/video, easy-to-use soil temperature maps, and more.
One of the major new enhancements to GreenCast is a library that offers information on biological, chemical and structural control methods of managing more than 100 varieties of common pests.
Additional enhancements include:
• Soil temperature maps—easy-to-use maps that show which kinds of pests thrive in different temperature zones.
• 30-year-disease-average charts by geography—charts that help to predict the likelihood of destructive diseases, prevent disease outbreaks by tracking disease records, and plan for future applications.
• Agronomic plans—a customizable planning tool that provides information about specific locations and treatment areas.
• Pest alerts— e-mails about threatening turf pests that can help superintendents stay ahead of insect threats in their specific areas. An option can also be selected for GreenCast to send alerts at lower threat levels, well before the insect population becomes widespread.
• E-learning modules—modules that help superintendents learn more about features and optimal uses of Syngenta products, beyond the information provided by the label.
GreenCast users can customize the site to display only the tools and resources they choose for their operation. In addition, the site has specific pages dedicated to the golf, lawn and landscape and ornamental markets, so industry professionals can find information relevant to their respective markets faster. Registration is easy and free, by visiting www.greencastonline.com, answering a few quick questions and setting up a user name and password.
