Wetting Agents
In conjunction with this biological product would be any of the three wetting agent products. Only you know your course, sports field, or lawns the best. It is our suggestion that you apply these at current wetting agent rates and then back them down to where you feel comfortable after a few months. We feel that you will ultimately settle on approximately a quart to the acre (.75 oz. / 1000). Fairway Fourway is a stand alone wetting agent (10%). The Double Shot product is a two way product containing wetting agent (6%) and Kelp (brown laminaria, 36%). Lastly, the XCell product is a unique blend of three components…wetting agent (10%), humic/fulvic (6%) and kelp (brown laminaria, 8%).
All the AgStone wetting agent products are comprised of plant based fatty acids. These non-ionic acids like to bring everyone to the party. Both positively and negatively charged nutrient particles hitch a ride into the plant on these fatty acids. This increase in nutrient uptake brings a completely different dimension to the wetting agent space.
Again, Fairway Fourplay, Double Shot or XCell would be used at comparable rates to your current wetting agents (pint/acre, biweekly (.35 oz./1000) quart-½ gallon/acre monthly(.75 -1.5 oz./1000).
Biology
Carbon…carbon sequestration…biology. Every sector of the globe is being inundated with carbon and the sequestration of carbon. Anything that can or could be done is being tried in an effort to mitigate climate change. The most natural way to do this is by using a biological or microbial product. Detonation Brand Universal T&O Liquid is an excellent choice for this task. With nine(9) listed bacteria and fungi, this product is one of the most universal on the market…hence the name T&O UNIVERSAL! This consortia of microbes handles a multitude of tasks. Nutrient solubilization…nutrient mineralization…improves root growth and branching…free living nitrogen fixation…plant growth promoting rhizobacteria… All of the aforementioned tasks aid in plant growth and health. The byproduct of all this extra, healthy growth is CARBON SEQUESTRATION!
Detonation Brand Universal T&O Liquid has been found to blend with most chemistry for a reasonable period of time. This information can be provided on request. Universal Liquid is a probiotic containing a wide range of beneficial bacteria and fungi. It can be used on any soil type and delivers outstanding results by increasing overall nutrient efficiencies and uptake.
The Detonation Universal Liquid is applied at a rate of 1 pint or 1 quart to the acre (.35-.75 oz. / 1000).
Micronutrients
Lastly, for that extra little kick of color, or to help during nutrient black out dates, we would suggest our Poly Micro Blend. This micronutrient package is especially helpful when quick green-up is necessary for tournament play or that special occasion when highlighting the course or grounds is necessary. A two or three week lead time is usually sufficient for optimum color. This product has a rich base of long chain polysaccharides. Not only does it act as an incredible food source for the biology, it brings with it readily available micronutrients.
One of the most interesting tidbits of information associated with this product is the great color up with minimal flush growth. There is no nitrogen associated with this product and it allows for flexibility in nitrogen application based on seasonal needs. It works equally well in both acidic and alkaline environments.
These micronutrients are not chelated and a jar test is suggested depending on mixing chemistries.
Poly Micro Blend would be used at a rate of 1 pint to 1 quart to the acre (.35-.75 oz. / 1000).
