Healthy soil life
Helps your Turf to protect against germination of root and leaf diseases Delivers the nutrients to your plant Creates high mineralizing activity Brings a decrease in thatch and anaerobic zones Helps to prolong the season Nutrient availability
Good diversity on main and trace elements covers the nutrient requirements of your turf Activates already fixed (blocked) phosphor or potassium Can be the solution for nutrient blockade or disharmony Plant growth substances
Auxins, Gibberellins, and Cytokinins are phytohormons and effect a faster and higher rate of germination and also stronger root growth Humus compounds
Stable humus compounds tie salts and offers room for microbes Fulvo and Humic acids are important ion exchangers Soil crumble
Increased soil crumble structure means lower compaction Enlarged air space volume creates more room for roots, air and soil life Better water regulation capacities provides water when your turf asks for it, but does not end up in water logging. Sustainability
Produced from energy efficient and carbon neutral organic compounds Turf care that is good for your climate, good for your soil and environmentally friendly! And reduce your Costs!
