Turf Surfactants

Turf Surfactants with a Difference

Optimize Nutrient & Water Use Efficiency While Boosting Plant Fitness

Of the more than 50 companies supplying surfactants to turf professionals in North America, less than 10% actually make the molecules that provide the basic molecular building blocks involved in surfactant technology. Instead of manufacturing chemicals, we focus our expertise on how to best apply these basic chemistries to the specific, unique performance requirements of intensively maintained turf grasses.

Rather than offer dozens of alternative choices, we have consolidated our surfactant offering into four comprehensive and versatile products.

Each formulation contains a surfactant, an infiltration agent, and a biostimulant:

• Industry-leading seaweed extract for its many benefits related to fitness and stress management.
• Because it has no Nitrogen, it never causes growth flushes.
• Penetrant agents help water and nutrients infiltrate through the mat layer and into the soil faster. They also keep the surface dryer.
• Phyto-safe. They are EO/PO Block Co-Polymer formulations.
• Highly cost-efficient. (Lower cost per gallon and a lower cost per acre)

We make materials designed to maximize plant health, hardiness, performance, stress tolerance and quality. Our proprietary seaplant extracts represent the state-of-the-art in high performance nutritional chemical technology and are used in a wide variety of agricultural and horticultural applications to:

• Improve plant health, appearance and color
• Increase rooting, crop yields and quality
• Deliver superior stress management benefits

For more than 40 years, our proving ground for stress tolerance in plants has been intensively maintained turf grasses. No plants are subjected to more stress from more sources. Golf course superintendents deal with the same kinds of biotic stresses all growers face, disease pathogens, insects, invasive weeds, plus all the abiotic stresses like high temperatures, drought, UV overexposure and salinity.

But, unlike most other growers, they impose even more stresses with the cultural and maintenance practices required to produce the playing conditions and green speeds demanded by today’s golfer. Plant uptake of our nutritional chemistry is vital, whether through foliage or roots. As we have worked with more marine-based and other botanical extracts and developed materials targeted toward rootzones and rhizospheres in addition to foliage, surfactant technology has become more central to our product development strategy.
