Nufarm will showcase its growing suite of golf course solutions and new innovative tools for golf course superintendents at the GCSAA Conference and Trade Show February 5-6 in San Diego, California. Nufarm will be on the floor at Booth #2937.

Nufarm solutions on display include several new products for weed, disease and insect management.

“At the heart of what we do is listen and learn what matters most to superintendents and the challenges they face, giving rise to an exciting array of new tools that will help make the difference between a good and a great course,” Nufarm VP of turf and ornamental sales Blaine Pinkerton said. “Our new and upcoming solutions like Allstar, Southpaw, PrimeTime, Curator and Simpell products are the result of countless collaborations with the industry, researchers, suppliers and distribution partners.”

  • Anuew EZ Plant Growth Regulator: Anuew EZ is a PGR technology that continues to impress with a novel formulation designed to help reduce labor and maintain tournament-ready playing conditions.
  • Velocity PM Poa Management Herbicide: Velocity PM is a superintendent’s Poa transition standard for both postemergence control and seedhead suppression to support an optimal transition to purer turfgrass.
  • Allstar, Southpaw and PrimeTime* Herbicides: Allstar is Nufarm’s latest cool-season turfgrass solution for grassy weeds, nutsedge and broadleaf weeds. Southpaw provides post-emergence control of persistent difficult-to-control broadleaf weeds with excellent warm-season turfgrass safety. Launching in 2025, PrimeTime will be Nufarm’s new standard for fast-acting post-emergent control of tough broadleaf weeds and goosegrass with excellent performance and turf tolerance in cool spring and fall weather.
  • Curator* Fungicide: Curator is Nufarm's new dual-action fungicide for Pythium, damping off and root rot diseases in turfgrass that have conditions favourable to high temperatures and high humidity.
  • Simpell* Insecticide: Simpell delivers fast and effective biological control of key golf course pests including annual bluegrass weevil (ABW), thrips, mites, armyworms, cutworms and sod webworms through both contact and ingestion.
  • Celero and Certainty Herbicides: Celero and Certainty are solutions for both spot and broadcast treatment for difficult-to-manage sedges in both cool-season and warm-season turfgrasses.

Show attendees can visit Nufarm at Booth #2937 each day during show hours to register for a chance to win one of three biometric smart rings.

Nufarm will also hold live in-booth presentation titled “Better Together,” highlighting the synergy of combining Anuew EZ and Velocity PM for growth regulation and Poa control at 11:30 a.m. on both February 5 and 6.

The 2025-27 EXCEL Leadership Program classes led by Nufarm and GSCAA will convene for a reception Monday afternoon and an EXCEL Program seminar education track throughout the week. The EXCEL Leadership Program is a three-year program that offers pivotal leadership training for personal, career and community/industry stewardship exclusively for assistant superintendents.

As a member partner of RISE (Responsible Industry for a Sound Environment), Nufarm will continue sponsoring the 2025 Industry Issues series — which covers the latest in legislation, advocacy and grassroots efforts — with the first event at 6:30 a.m. February 6 in Room 31ABC.
