Syngenta partners with Pursell Farms

FAYETTEVILLE, Ala. - Pursell Technologies Inc. has added another industry sponsor to its budding 18-hole research and demonstration golf course. FarmLinks at Pursell Farms is set to open in early June.

Pursell Technologies developed FarmLinks to provide the industry with an outdoor working laboratory to test new products and maintenance practices that will benefit the industry.

"Syngenta will be using the FarmLinks facility to test products and management solutions," said Joe DiPaola, Ph.D., golf market manager for Syngenta. "We'll be supplying pest control products for the course and working with the FarmLinks staff to demonstrate our solutions approach to turf problems."

FarmLinks at Pursell Farms is the venue for the PTI Tour program. Each year, Pursell Technologies brings in more than 1,000 professionals from the golf, turf and horticulture industries to visit Pursell Farms for two to three days of learning, recreation and relaxation. FarmLinks is designed to showcase 18 holes of experiments to tour attendees, where they can learn about products, equipment and turf management practices.
