The Dollar Spot (Clarireedia jacksonii) It is a leaf disease that commonly affects high-performance lawns, such as golf courses, sports pitches and private gardens. This disease is caused by the fungus Clarireedia jacksonii and generally requires repeated applications of fungicides to control it.
The symptoms of dollar spot vary depending on the grass species and management practices. When fine-textured grasses (such as bentgrass or Bermuda grass) are mown very short, the symptoms first appear as small, straw-coloured, circular patches of turf the size of a coin.
Exceptional results were achieved in the 2022 trials on dollar spot control at Rutgers University. Treatment No. 57, which did not use fungicides, produced very good results in terms of plant health, keeping dollar spot at low levels. The treatments were carried out with one application every two weeks.
The main aim is to improve environmental conditions and enhance plant health through proper nutrition and by reducing stress. As a result, healthy plants and an improved growing environment lead to a more resilient lawn, thereby reducing the need for chemicals to control diseases.

SILI-K 21% 2-0-10
21 % silica gives the grass a plump appearance, promoting plant health.
Silicon dioxide is converted into silicic acid (monosilicic acid), which is utilised by the plant.
Dosage: 3–10 L/ha
.30 Cal | 30% Liquid Calcium
12 % of calcium, derived from calcium acetate and calcium carbonate.
It acts as an alkaline buffer in the spray tank.
Ideal compatibility agent for Sili-K.
Shake well before use.
Dosage: 10 L/ha
EDTA Chelated Micro Pack
It contains EDTA-chelated micronutrients with long-lasting effects, ensuring their availability.
Contains boron (0.1 %), magnesium (),copper (0.15 %), iron (1.75 %), manganese (1 %) and zinc (1 %0.15%)
It releases micronutrients to the roots over a period of up to 4 weeks
Dosage: 3–20 L/ha
Reducing leaf moisture and removing early morning dew is one of the most effective cultivation practices for preventing and controlling dollar spot (Clarireedia (et al.).
DewSweeper, featuring RST technology, is the best solution for dew control.
It adheres to the leaf without damaging the waxy cuticle.
It significantly reduces surface tension, thereby reducing or eliminating the formation of condensation.
Dew Sweeper is stable and, according to university trials, has been shown to be effective for up to 8 days.
Over time, Dew Sweeper needs to be reapplied due to grass growth, mowing and the natural breakdown of the product.
The launch of this range of solutions is the result of our strategic partnership with Turfcare, our trusted supplier of biotechnology and nutrition for sports turf. Together with Turfcare, we combine innovation in marine biostimulation with the highest standards of quality and technical support for industry professionals.
It is a common leaf disease affecting high-performance turf (such as golf courses and sports pitches), caused by the fungus Clarireedia jacksonii.
On fine, closely mown lawns (such as agrostis or Bermuda), the symptoms first appear as small, circular, straw-coloured patches about the size of a coin.
It provides 21 % of silica, which is converted into silicic acid (monosilicic acid) that can be taken up by the plant, giving the turf turgidity and promoting plant health. The recommended application rate is 3 to 10 L/ha.
It provides 12 % of calcium (from calcium acetate and calcium carbonate), acts as an alkaline buffer in the spray tank and serves as an ideal compatibility agent for SILI-K. The application rate is 10 L/ha.
It adheres to the leaf without damaging the waxy cuticle and significantly reduces the surface tension of water. It remains effective for up to 8 days.
