Seaweed & Turf
Pitch care, golf courses, courts & greens
- Stress Resistance: Seaweed extract contains compounds such as cytokinins, auxins, and betaines, which can enhance turfgrass’ ability to withstand various stresses like drought, heat, cold, and disease pressure. It helps improve the overall resilience of turfgrass, keeping it healthy even under challenging conditions.
- Root Development: The growth-promoting hormones in seaweed extract stimulate root growth and development in turfgrass. This leads to a stronger and deeper root system, which helps the turfgrass better absorb water and nutrients from the soil, improving overall health and vigor.
- Enhanced Nutrient Uptake: Seaweed extract contains various micronutrients, vitamins, and minerals essential for turfgrass growth. These nutrients are readily absorbed by the turfgrass, promoting lush green growth and improving the overall appearance of the turf.
- Improved Soil Health: Seaweed extract can improve soil structure, increase microbial activity, and enhance nutrient cycling in the soil beneath the turfgrass. This leads to healthier soil conditions, better water infiltration, and reduced compaction, creating an optimal environment for turfgrass growth.
- Disease Resistance: Certain compounds found in seaweed extract have been shown to have antifungal properties, which can help turfgrass resist common lawn diseases like dollar spot, brown patch, and snow mold. Regular application of seaweed extract can contribute to a healthier turfgrass stand with fewer disease problems.
- Reduced Thatch Buildup: Seaweed extract promotes the decomposition of organic matter, including grass clippings and thatch, in the turfgrass canopy. This helps reduce thatch buildup over time, improving air and water movement into the soil and minimizing the risk of turf diseases and pest infestations.
- Environmental Sustainability: Seaweed extract is a natural and environmentally friendly product that can be used as part of an organic or sustainable turf management program. It poses minimal risk to the environment and can help reduce the reliance on synthetic fertilizers and pesticides in turfgrass maintenance.
- Enhanced Recovery from Wear and Tear: Turfgrass treated with seaweed extract may recover more quickly from heavy foot traffic, sports play, or other forms of wear and tear. The growth-promoting properties of seaweed extract encourage rapid regrowth and repair of damaged turf areas, maintaining a consistently high-quality playing surface.
