Turfgrass Management
The goal of Opterra’s Turf Management Program is to create a consistent turf that is essentially weed-free and uniform in height. Accomplishing this in a cost-effective manner improves the appearance and profitability of the company. Opterra does this by providing selective weed control applications to remove unsightly and tall broadleaf weeds and undesirable grasses.
The removal of faster growing and taller weeds improves the appearance and reduces the need for mowing unimproved turf areas. Mowing cycles can be further reduced by the application of plant growth regulators (PGRs). In most cases, these PGRs can be applied simultaneously with a selective weed control application. The addition of PGRs to the weed control application often results in the elimination of several mowing cycles. On more difficult areas (such as steep slopes and rights of way) brush vines, weeds, and unwanted grasses can be removed, eliminating the need to mow these areas.
In some situations, our program will extend to include other services such as mowing, fertilization, over-seeding, and insect control.
Reduce Mowing Cycles Up To 60%
One application of weed control and PGRs will replace several cycles of mowing
Improve Aesthetic Appeal
Eliminate unsightly weeds and grasses
Save Money
Less mechanical mowing means less employee overhead and reduced wear on equipment
Improve Employee Safety
Less time spent mowing means less potential for employee accidents

Typical Sites Benefited by Turfgrass Management
Any site with large or relatively large areas of unimproved turf is a likely to benefit from a Turfgrass Management program. Locations typically improved by these programs include:
