Turf Science Live: Operation Pollinator

Dr Simon Watson, Syngenta and Dr Ruth Mann, STRI: Native bee populations have declined by more than 70% in the UK in the last 30 years. Syngenta
pioneered Operation Pollinator to determine optimal
floristic enhancement for pollen and nectar feeders, such as bees and butterflies. Areas of rough dominated by grasses such as Perennial Ryegrass and Yorkshire Fog not only offer poor playability but also offer little biodiversity value. Syngenta and STRI will show how Rescue can be used in golf course rough to select finer fescue grasses, improving the playability and floristic value of these areas.
