Product aids water conservation
CIVITAS Turf Defense is an innovative product that enhances a
plant's ability to tolerate stress. Unlike many products on the
market today, it focuses on the plant fi rst, not the problem, which
results in a healthier
plant that requires
less inputs such as
pesticides and water.
Numerous academic
studies have shown
that using CIVITAS
Turf Defense allows
the turf to tolerate
periods of water
stress. It increases
the threshold of what a plant can endure during drier periods,
potentially allowing the turf to tolerate up to 40% less water
replacement compared to calculated evapotranspiration (ET) rates.
The product can help sports turf managers soften the peaks and
valleys of the summer season by helping create a stronger plant
system that can better withstand biotic and abiotic stresses.

ALL-NEW HR800 WIDE-AREA ROTARY
MOWER FROM JACOBSEN
Jacobsen has introduced
its all-new HR800
16-foot-wide rotary
mower, which weighs
nearly 2,000 pounds
less than its direct
competitor
and can
mow 20+
plus acres
per hour. "With
the industry's lightest in-class weight powered by a rugged and
reliable 74.3 hp Kubota engine, the HR800 sets a new efficiency
and power-to-weight ratio standard," said product manager Ben
Bruce. "That efficiency provides a massive cutting capacity of 100+
acres per day." The new mower is almost 2 feet narrower than
its competitor. The exclusive Tilt Sensor Technology automatically
monitors and adjusts mower decks to prevent rollovers on hills. Q
AMP variable rate steering provides optimal response to operator
input to mow effortlessly around obstacles. In addition, a new
AdaptiCut system automatically adjusts mow speed to ensure
consistent cut performance, even through the thickest grass.
