Turf SituationMaxGuard® NPK
MaxGuard NPK provides the convenience of a granular turf insecticide combined with a slow release 28+1.3+6.6 fertiliser, making it ideal for post damage recovery and insect control.
It is not a scheduled poison and with minimal contact when applying, is extremely safe for users. With a chemistry that has more insecticidal activity than other classes of insecticides such as organophosphates and carbamates, MaxGuard requires less active ingredient to control pests – acting faster to combat target insects at a lower rate of 140kg/ ha.
* MaxGuard NPK is not available in NZ

conquers the course
There are few things more frustrating for turf aficionados than the perpetual battle with insect pests and the destruction they leave in their wake.
But one man is winning the war.
Marshall Howarth is the Course Superintendent at Monash Country Club in Sydney’s Ingleside. It’s a private, 18-hole golf club, perched high in the hills on the beautiful northern beaches. The course is magnificent, and has even hosted the Australian PGA.
“I feel proud of producing good surfaces,” says Marshall. “I get a sense of accomplishment. I mean, there’s a little bit of luck in it, what with Mother Nature but, a good result, that’s what you put all your hard work in for.”
