Most rootzones on golf courses and sand-based sports pitches are overloaded with a combination of harmful fertilisers and pesticide residues.

Synthetic compounds, e.g. EDTA used as a chelating agent, degrade very slowly or not at all and inhibit healthy microbial activity and root respiration that support the grass plant.

Soil Biology treatments rehabilitate damaged rootzone environments and provide the foundation for healthy and robust turfgrass surfaces.

There are three parts to rehabilitating your rootzone:

  • 1. Carry out an SB NUTRIENT ANALYSIS to identify the requirements for treatments – don’t guess!
  • 2. SOIL WASH the rootzone with SB PanBreaker and SB BioSulphur to clear out pesticide and fertiliser residues that create an unbalanced and potentially toxic environment for soil microbes and turfgrass roots.
  • 3. REHABILITATE the rootzone environment with a diverse population of microbes and balanced nutrient content that create the ideal conditions for turfgrass health and vigour.

Rootzone Treatment Products:

AllWeather

All Weather Is a highly–concentrated anionic surfactant based wetting agent developed specifically for use in amenity turf.

Foundation

A premium-quality Leonardite granule specially selected from an ultra high grade deposit of Leonardite, SB Foundation HFU is a very rich source of Humic and Fulvic and Ulmic acids and various other nutrients.

NutriZorb

A natural, hydrated Phillipsite-Chabazite mineral of volcanic origin, supplied in three grades to suit the application. Supports soil biology by providing a “protective matrix” and a source of nutrients, firms up soft surfaces and slowly releases nutrients to suit turf growth. Does not break down as easily as clinoptolite zeolite.

Gypsum GG

Gypsum Granule is a premium-quality gypsum granule produced from fine powder to aid rapid dispersion.

Resolve

Resolve is a second-generation wetting agent, its design improves on first generation wetting agents allowing it to maintain this high level of performance over an extended period.

Fulvic40

Fulvic40 is a natural organic chelating material that has been specifically formulated to maximise the uptake and performance of the tank - mixed fertilisers and pesticides used in intensively managed amenity turf.

Transformer

Transformer is a soil conditioner with a highly effective ability to improve the infiltration, distribution and drainage of irrigation water and rain into the soil. It overcomes differences in soil density and even hydrophobic soil to move the spray solution throughout the soil profile.

Brimstone90

Supplying sulphur to deficient crops in a convenient, highly concentrated and efficient formulation that provides a “sustained release” of SO4 ions throughout the growing season of the crop.

TurfHardener 3.0 3+3 Fe

Specially formulated foliar plant hardener
