Integrated Vegetation Management Showcased At SALTEX

/in , /by

Integrated vegetation management showcased at SALTEX: As the final herbicide treatments of the 2017 season are applied, it is time to start considering next year’s integrated vegetation management programmes, and SALTEX is an excellent opportunity to speak to the experts at Bayer for advice and guidance on this.

Integrated Vegetation Management Showcased At SALTEX

 

The BASIS-qualified Bayer Turf and Amenity Solutions Team will be available on stand D037 at the event on 1 and 2 November, to give an insight into the future of plant protection products and show how Bayer products fit into programmes that consider weed control in a wider sense than just chemical intervention.

Lewis Blois, Bayer national account manager explains that he will discuss how using an integrated approach to vegetation management is essential to securing the future of plant protection products, and how the industry is shifting to favour this management method.

“More and more companies and authorities are asking contractors to consider using alternative methods of control in conjunction with herbicide applications. So, visiting the Bayer stand will give individuals the chance to ask questions about these, as well as find out how chemical controls, such as leading herbicides – Finale® 150 and Pistol®, can fit into any integrated management programme.

Disease control

“This year will also mark the first appearance of our latest turf fungicide, Exteris® Stressgard, at SALTEX. It’s received great feedback from the greenkeeping market, and the event will be an excellent opportunity for those involved in professional sports turf management to find out about the innovative new product, and how it can fit into their disease management strategies,” says Lewis.

In addition to this, Dr Colin Mumford, Bayer technical manager, will present a session at the event on 1 November at 1:20pm, on the topic of integrated disease management, including product development, application, waste management and stewardship.

Also on the stand, will be information on the easyFlow – the first contamination-avoiding, self-cleaning transfer system for liquid plant protection products.

“The easyFlow can be secured onto a product bottle to assist with tank mixing and filling, and is proven to improve operator safety by 96%, as well as being an important tool for environmental stewardship,” says Lewis.

EGO Goes Pro At SALTEX

/in , /by

EGO Goes Pro At SALTEX: After just three years, during which time it has helped pioneer the battery revolution in garden equipment, EGO Power+ is taking its industry leading 56volt cordless system, designed like no other, further in to the professional market with its new x-series range.

EGO Goes Pro At SALTEX

EGO Power+, has securely established itself as the leader in battery technology and will unveil the new x-series at SALTEX 2017 which features a hedge trimmer, line trimmer and blower as well as a new high capacity backpack battery. The new products have been specifically designed to meet the robust and hard-wearing demands of the professional sector, and can easily match the performance, output and run time required by professional users on a long-term basis. The company’s full range of battery powered garden equipment will also be on display at the show.

Steve Roskell, EGO’s European marketing director, commented: “SALTEX is the perfect venue for the launch of our x-series and gives us the opportunity to demonstrate why our products are so much more advanced than alternatives. The professional market is perfect for our battery technology and was born out at recent trials with a local authority in the East Midlands where the petrol matching performance and incredibly low “in-use” vibration across the entire EGO range gave us a major competitive advantage.”

EGO’s success is largely attributed to the brand’s innovative and ground-breaking battery technology, as well as stylish and striking product design, and unrivalled performance that has all the power of petrol. Whilst many other brands have introduced battery options to their line ups, EGO Power+ remains one of the few brands to consist solely of battery products.

The EGO Power+ range is available through Henton & Chattell’s nationwide dealer network.
