Ryder Turf Pigment 1L

RYDER is a turf pigment that provides an incredible visual effect, producing a deep, desirable green colour with a shade and intensity you can manage to suit your course and conditions. And, at the same time, Ryder enables you to manage light, to make it work more efficiently for your turf plants. 

RYDER is a highly concentrated and stable green pigment designed for use on managed turf to improve its appearance and to help protect against UV radiation and high light intensities. 

BENEFIT

• Great lasting natural colour that can be tailored to your turf demands.
• Protection from harmful UV radiation and high light intensities.
• Rainfast in 1 hour.
• Highly compatible with many products. 
• Additional colour with no additional nutrition. 

How does RYDER work? 

Plants produce natural compounds to reflect, scatter and screen from radiation damage, including carotenoids, anthocyanins, flavonoids, and cuticle waxes. Using the latest generation of pigment technology, at a high 70% concentration, RYDER can effectively mimic plant pigments and deliver protection against harmful UV radiation and high light intensities. 

The intensity of colour can be selected through adjustments to application rate, frequency and integrated fertiliser programmes. 

RYDER would typically be applied prior to a predicted period of stress but can be applied throughout the year if required used in combination with Primo Maxx II. 

Over the summer, RYDER will help provide protection against high light intensities and UV light and stay looking green where desired. 

Through autumn, RYDER maintains turf appearance and colour for longer. RYDER application following sand topdressing or over seeding can instantly recover appearance. 

APPLICATION RATES

Turf mowing height under 12mm eg: greens, tees, approaches, bowling greens; cricket squares

Apply at a rate of 0.75 to 1.5 l/ha in a water volume of 250-500 litres per hectare. Use higher rates for deeper green colour and greater protection against light stress. Used in conjunction with a Primo Maxx II programme, reduced mowing will increases longevity in growing periods.

Turf mowing height over 12mm eg: fairways; sportsfields; cricket outfield

Apply at a rate of 1.0 to 2.0 l/ha in a water volume of 250-500 litres per hectare. Use higher rates for deeper green colour, higher heights of cut and greater protection against light stress.

Application aid

The instant colour provided by RYDER can act as a spray pattern indicator in itself, especially at higher rates or on turf inherently paler at the time of application. For even coverage always apply using Syngenta XC Nozzles, operated at 50cm nozzle tip height and at a water volume of 250 – 500 litres/ha. Two sprays at half rate, applied in different directions, can achieve better coverage on turf leaves managed at higher heights of cut.
