White Turf
There are constant changes in our world and I am always looking to bring improvements to what I do. One of the new chemicals that controls many of the weeds here at La Rinconada has a unique mode of action. This new herbicide stops the plant from producing chlorophyll, which as you may ascertain makes it quite effective. We applied this chemical out in small trials and it proved to work well with no damage. The reason I am mentioning it here is because it is very noticeable when the weed is dying. It turns white.
So if you see areas of white grass, don't be alarmed.
