Federal EPA approves two significant changes to the product label of Neemix 4.5, a botanical insect growth regulator from Advan LLC.

Olympic Fields C.C. Historic Renovation; Basamid Use is Key
This past fall Olympia Fields Country Club embarked on a historic renovation of its South Golf Course. Opened in 1916, the South Course was one of the first two courses built on the property. This Tom Bendelow course has for a great many years played second fiddle to the Willie Park designed North Course. Since its completion in 1923, the North Course has held the bulk of the championships and gotten all of the glory. This year that all changed for the track that is considered the “Members Course” at OFCC.
With its introduction of Tee-1-Up™ WDG fungicide, Advan puts two proven fungicides — one a contact fungicide and the other systemic — into a single jug. Tee-1-Up combines the contact properties of chlorothalonil with the excellent systemic control offered by thiophanate-methyl in a package that maximizes the product’s ease of use...
