One of the challenges for some golf course superintendents, landscapers and turfgrass managers remains managing the transitions and transition zones, efficiently, economically, aesthetically and with optimal results agronomically-- all while providing optimal playing surfaces when applicable to golf courses and athletic fields.
Whether it's the time of year when turfgrass is transitioning from actively growing grass to dormant turf or the other way around, when dormant turf is on its way back in growing and producing chlorophyl, these in between times call for a flexible product, one that is in between two of Endurant's fan favorites-- Endurant turf paints and Endurant TE pigment.

Don't let stains delay the game. Endurant turf colorants won't mark up uniforms the way another top brand does.[/caption]
Other brands caused more staining to clothes, including some of the top brands.
The field studies of potential clothing blemishes on clothes after athletes contact turfgrass treated with colorants were initiated February 16, 2017.
When athletes make contact with the playing surface, colorants will adhere to the turfgras leaf blades.

In some cases though, some colorant brands other than Endurant also blemished clothing and for some brands the blemishing was significantly more than if the grass was left untreated with colorant.
K-State Turfgrass Research published the study in July 2017.
The study was led by Jared A Hoyle and Daniele L McFadden of Kansas State University.
"Effect of Dormant 'MidIron' Bermudagrass Colorant Applications on Clothing Blemishing" compared the blemishes created by four brands of turf pigments Endurant Premium left the least amount of blemishing, leaving no more blemishing on clothes than untreated turfgrass.

Prevent clothes from becoming one big grass stain. Endurant turf colorants won't stain clothes like other brands, University study finds.[/caption]
According to the study, a brand called Envy left the most amount of staining on clothing that made contact with turfgrass treated with Envy grass paint.
The objective of the research was to determine if turfgrass pigments and paints blemish athletic clothing after the recommended dry time.
Endurant turf colorants, created by Geoponics, do not cause additional staining to athletes' clothes when compared with untreated grass.
As many athletes' clothes are quite expensive, the benefits for teams can be beyond aesthetic and into economic.
We're proud to share the results of the study.

The images posted are a few of our favorite photos of Endurant turf colorants used on home lawns, farms, golf courses or sports fields that users shared in August. Endurant is used throughout the summer on cool and warm season grasses. Endurant is also the first choice for fall color preparations.
Endurant turf colorants are popular throughout the year on warm and cool season grasses, but fall is one of the most common times of the year for turfgrass professionals to consider color enhancers as cooler weather will begin to cause grass to lose color and chlorophyl, particularly in warm season grass varieties.
Nonetheless, cool season grasses were enhanced by the use of Endurant throughout this summer and leading into fall as well. Turfgrass professionals,
