Why should Golf Course
Superintendents use Biologicals

Whether you are maintaining a PGA, country club or public course, providing meticulously turf can be as important as the game itself. A beautiful course helps to secure as well as attract new revenue all season long. More frequently, superintendents are discovering the powerful benefits of integrating biologicals into their current turf management programs. Not only do biologicals help recover divots and torn up tee-boxes quickly, they deepen and strengthen roots, protect against environmental stresses,  mitigate disease prevalence, improve greening, increase nutrient uptake (reducing excessive nitrogen application), and offer a more effective and Eco-Responsible solution. Greatly improving the appearance and health of your course.

 

Biologicals also comply with blackout and/or nutrient regulated periods or regions.

​

What are Biologicals

Any living organisms or organic-based substance produced by an organism that has a direct, positive effect on the growth, defense, reproduction, or metabolic rate of a plant. Examples of biologicals included but not limited to, microbes (bacteria and mycorrhizae) kelp or seaweed extracts, carbon (humic or fulvic acid) and hormones.

 

Benefits to Turf

• Improves soil structure resulting in optimal microbial activity

• Promotes thicker and greener turf

• Improves nutrient solubilization, cycling and uptake

• Deep rooting, increases root mass and root initiation

• Sustains healthy growth under abiotic (environmental) stresses

• Strengthens the plant against biotic (disease) stresses

• Helps plants cope with high saline soils

 

Benefits to Superintendents

• Fertilizer applications last longer, reducing the frequency of application

• Decrease overall water usage, and improve water quality

• Eco-Responsible - aerates soil, keeps nutrient in the root zone, reducing leaching or runoff into ponds

• Blackout/ NPK regulation approved

• Reduces the need for stress recovery (cutting time and costs)

• Mitigates disease prevalence

• Results in consistently healthy looking turf; improving golf course esteem, customer satisfaction and new revenue
