environment. That is great for giving the end-users the confidence in new products, but it requires the generation of a huge volume of scientific data. It has to be turf specific information and, with all the variables involved with turf management, it has to be proven for each country where the product is going to be used. This registration process is a legal stipulation designed to safeguard the safety of operators, users and the environment. It overrides all other considerations and, rightly, cannot be circumvented.
But, investment and research is not just all about products, it’s also looking how to get the best out of them. Looking to the future, the Amenity Forum has already identified that turf managers

must adopt new stewardship measures to assure availability of turf protection products. That includes treatment justification, application technique, record keeping, reducing active ingredient loading, recycling packaging and other measures to mitigate the impact of pesticide use. In fact, many of those tools are already becoming available, thanks to the investment already put in place by Syngenta as part of its commitment to the turf industry. Last year thirty of the UK’s
Premiership football club groundsmen visited the Syngenta Turf Research facility in Stein. They were truly fascinated and awestruck by the level of science involved and the scale of the investment involved. At the time, Darren Baldwin, Head
Groundsman at Tottenham Hotspurs Football Club, said: “the visit to the research centre was a real eye opener – the level of Syngenta R&D is quite amazing, and it was really helpful for us to understand what goes into the development and testing of chemicals before they reach the market.” Without due reward there will be no investment, and there will be no new innovation and advances for turf managers and players to enjoy.
