Civitas Increases Clipping Yield on a Cool-Season Putting Green

摘要

CIVITAS (Suncor Energy, Calgary, AB, Canada) is an isopar-affin horticultural oil marketed to enhance plant defense and is certified by the Organic Materials Review Institute (www.omri.org). It triggers induced systemic resistance to diseases leadingto reduced pesticide requirements for turfgrass (Cortes-Barco et al., 2010). To mask phytotoxicity, Civitas is mixed with a copper phlalocyanate-based pigment called Harmonizer (Suncor Energy, Calgary, AB, CA). Civitas and Harmonizer can be mixed on-site, called the Two-Pack, or pre-mixed at the factory, called Civitas One.
