Product Update
A round-up of the latest product news announced in recent weeks
The new Turf Pest Tracker will follow the timing and movement of the adult life cycle stages of key turf pests this summer, to get a better picture of when and where the pests are flying.
The GreenCast website enables all turf managers and agronomists to report activity of the main chafer species and crane fly, using their phone, tablet or computer. Sightings are instantly recorded on maps, giving the chance to visually check out the level of pest presence reported in any local area.
The EVO 165 combines a wealth of new features, together with some of GreenMech’s proven innovations which have seen their chippers become the preferred choice with many industry professionals.
Its wide infeed chute, together with twin horizontal rollers and ‘No-Stress’ control system mean the Evo 165 efficiently grips timber and brash and controls its lateral movement to provide maximum bite and unparalleled processing power via its new, heavy-duty flywheel and re-flowed exit chute.
Optimised outputs from a diesel or petrol engine option provide usable power that matches budget with operational needs, alongside maximum fuel efficiency and compliance with Stage V Emission requirements. The EVO is the quietest machine GreenMech have produced to date, beneficial for both operators and neighbours alike.
Together with improved performance, the aspects of safety, durability and ease of maintenance have also come under the spotlight. GreenMech have fitted the Evo with a new safety bar system to minimise nuisance tripping, whilst offering a better inflow of material. The Evo's durability has been increased with the adoption of a one-piece fabricated chassis that provides greater strength in even the most demanding of operational conditions. Meanwhile, GreenMech's patented Disc Blade system continues to provide in excess of 900 chipping hours before replacement.

Reesink Turfcare has secured the UK distribution rights for Core Solutions, a core collecting blade attachment from US-based Nordic Plow.
Designed for both golf courses and sports surfaces, this product fits perfectly onto all brands and models of aeration equipment and bunker rakes to deliver an efficient and cost- effective way to remove cores from the playing surface in minutes.
The blade attachment has been developed to take into account the fact that aerating with the grain of the green or side to side reduces stress to the turf and results in a flawless scrape.
Further advantages include the removable 158 PC June/July 2019
Turf Pest Tracker is supported by an on-line pest identification and lifecycle guide, along with information to tailor an effective Integrated Pest Management programme.
Chafer grubs and leatherjacket soil pests can result in severe damage to turf roots and surface quality, along with extensive damage from their predators uprooting turf.
Live tracking of adult pest activity will give a valuable early warning of potential soil pest activity and where problems may strike.
Turf Pest Tracker is available to report and view insect activity on the GreenCast website. Updates and information will be regularly shared on Twitter: @syngentaturfuk #PestTracker

Bayer has brought a new residual pre-emergence herbicide to the UK market, adding another product to the amenity contractor's armoury.
Valdor® Flex (MAPP:19033) contains a unique new formulation. The pre- emergence herbicide contains two active ingredients that prevent the emergence of a broad spectrum of weeds for up to four months, reducing the frequency of traditional herbicide applications.
The product provides excellent residual control for even the hardest to manage weeds on a wide range of surfaces, including open soil, gravel and industrial areas.
Valdor® Flex can be used as a stand-alone application on bare ground before weed emergence. But, if weeds are present, it can be mixed with glyphosate, which provides the initial knockdown, whilst Valdor® Flex will provide residual control preventing subsequent weeds emerging for up to four months

sleeve which removes cores on severely undulated greens without the need for tools and the adjustable scraper edge which can free float or lock into position.
The brushes mean, if you topdress first, the cores can still be removed if the turf is wet and there’s no issue with small tine clear up. Despite them having less structure and more sand, which normally results in a difficult and time-consuming clean-up, Core Solutions handles this with ease.
It also creates tall piles of plugs with little spillage and has the added benefit of brushing sand deeper into the holes as it goes.

Corvus is a new name in 4x4 off-road utility vehicles and one to look out for when its UTVs arrive on our shores. Europe’s first manufacturer of 4x4 Side by Side vehicles has the strongest pedigree and states an aim to offer technologically superior and highly capable, pioneering vehicles.
A new British company, BOSS ORV, has been formed to introduce, distribute and support the Corvus brand in the UK. BOSS will officially launch three models at the outset: TerrainDX4 EPS, TerrainDX4 PRO EPS and TerrainDX4 CAB EPS.
The Corvus main construction facility is in Murcia, Spain with an area of 25,000m² dedicated to manufacturing and assembling, using their own parts and components: gearbox, transmission, chassis and technology systems.
The company is part of the Tuxton/Yanmar group, so it’s a natural fit to marry up the normally aspirated, inline 3-cylinder 993cc Yanmar diesel engine which gives excellent fuel efficiency and range. The engine is Euro 6 compliant, which puts it right at the forefront of the market, leading the Corvus programme of designing systems for reducing emission levels.
All the above mentioned Terrain models are homologated to T1b tractor regulation and have a top speed of 40mph/65kp/h.
