Finest and highly purified performance silicate mineral from silica rock

Tune Up is a liquid formulation containing optimized 10% SiO2 that is quickly absorbed by leaves and roots. It is manufactured from quartz porphyry through a patented, proprietary process. The resultant silicate is of the highest purity and is completely soluble in water. Its main uses are for turf and ornamentals. The formulation is crystal-clear with slight viscosity and used diluted with water when spraying. There is no need to add external wetting agents. Tune Up does not contain chemical fertilizers or plant growth regulators.

Tune Up promotes plant health through the formation of a thick silicated epidermal cell layer to maintain erect leaves that enhances photosynthesis. A thick cuticle-silicon layer serves as a barrier against fungal disease, chewing and sucking insect pests and nematodes. The enhanced bioavailability of nano-silica particles and 100% water solubility are unique features that give confidence to the grower that he is getting the best value for his money.

UNIQUE characteristics of Tune Up

• Manufactured using patented nanotechnology process
• High degree of purity
• 100% water soluble in ALL water qualities
• Superior bioavailability of silicon to plants
• Safe and non-toxic
• Edible food grade quality

RESULTS YOU CAN SEE...

• Visibly healthier and fresher turf grass
• Sturdier stems of ornamental flowers
• Reduced attack by diseases or pests when disease or pest pressure is present
• Optimized soil pH

Natural plant substance for overcoming environmental stress caused by heat, salinity, drought and cold

PROSTIM is based on glycine betaine which occurs naturally in many organisms including several plants. In plants glycine betaine acts as an osmoprotectant by adjusting the osmotic balance inside plant cells and tissues. By this natural defence mechanism, glycine betaine helps turfgrass overcome environmental (or abiotic) stress caused by hot weather, drought, cold and soil salinity which are the worst enemies of plant quality.

PROSTIM improves the quality of golf and amenity grass exposed to various environmental stresses by helping the plant maintain its physiological activities during unfavourable growing conditions. Furthermore, by improving stress tolerance of grass, PROSTIM indirectly enhances grass resistance against disease.

Features of PROSTIM

• Easy to use
• Available as a granule or liquid
• Excellent water solubility
• Works through osmotic adjustment
• Natural and does not contain chemicals
• Non-toxic and environmentally friendly

Benefits of PROSTIM

• Improves quality of turfgrass by helping grass maintain its physiological activities during unfavourable growing conditions such as heat, drought, cold and salinity
• Eliminates concerns of run-off into water bodies such as reservoirs, rivers, lakes and ponds as it is environmentally friendly
• Reduces amount of irrigation water up to 50%
• Reduces transplanting shock (earlier rooting) when turf is transplanted
• Reduces damage and promotes recovery from stress caused by frequent use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers
• Improves efficacy of lawn herbicides when used together
• Enhances photosynthesis and nitrogen fixation by providing organic nitrogen

RESULTS YOU CAN SEE...

• Extended deep green colour of turf during hot weather and drought
• Turf withstands mechanical stress from footprints and wheel tracks due to increased resilience
• Turf stays green longer when cold season arrives
• Turf greens up faster when cold season ends
• Turf shows increased resistance to disease
• Earlier rooting when turf is transplanted

Microbial fungicide derived from Bacillus subtilis

FOURSUM is a microbial fungicide to control soil borne diseases such as large patch, brown patch and pythium blight disease in golf courses. The product comes from nature by identifying endemic microbes in golf course soils. The endospore-forming bacteria work as an active ingredient of FOURSUM. It remains highly active under various conditions and performs superbly during processing, long-term storage and user conditions. The bacteria grow vigorously under particular environmental conditions which are favorable to outbreak of diseases, functioning as an ecological fit to soil biological environments.

FOURSUM’s main uses are golf-courses and turf greens. It is also recommended for crop and ornamental plant growing areas. It is highly recommended as a partner in alternate disease management tools. In areas where the use of chemicals is sensitive or restricted, FOURSUM is a viable option for integrated turf management.

Features & Benefits

• Highly resistant to conventionally used chemical fungicides. More importantly, the use of conventional chemical fungicides does not inactivate FOURSUM when used simultaneously or alternately.
• Functions as a preventive as well as curative fungicide with excellent antifungal activities against both Rhizoctonia solani and Pythium spp.
• Unique as a natural product, FOURSUM is non-toxic to mammals and safe to the environment thereby reducing the use of chemicals.
• Available in two specialized formulations viz. granule and aqueous suspension. Both formulations target disease sites effectively with long residual activity.

Natural calcium nurturing your turf

Naturcal (Calcium peptidate) is based on free amino acids and short chain peptides. This is a formulation where the Ca ion fully complexed or chelated with the amino moieties. The Ca ion is completely surrounded by an organic structure giving it a totally different mode of action. It is considered an organic molecule. The Calcium in NaturCal is easily translocated in plants providing plants with known benefits of amino acids and peptides.

Amino acid peptides are precursors of proteins. They work either solely or conjointly playing many functions in biological processes that include stimulating root growth by cell multiplication, promoting stomata opening and regulating and stabilising cell membrane permeability to facilitate transport of minerals and other plant protection products into the turf plant.

Features & Benefits

• Promotes healthier turf growth through providing organic Calcium
• Reduces salinity of soil
• Prevents and promotes turf from heavy traffic stress

Why is Naturcal different from inorganic calcium products?

• Naturcal has a different path and mechanism of penetration and assimilation into the plant as compared to other ionic, calcium-containing products such as calcium chloride, nitrate, ligninsulfate or chelated citrate, gluconate, peptidate.
• Naturcal produces useful substances in the plant where they are metabolised while other calcium products using different organic chelating agents (carbon, oxygen and hydrogen) do not.
• Naturcal has amino acids and peptides that are easily assimilated and stimulate the plant growth process through improving main enzyme system activity and anti-stress activities.

A Premium Bio-Root Enhancer

The word mycorrhizae literally means "fungus root". It defines the close, mutually beneficial relationship between roots of a plant and specialized soil fungus, where the plant supplies carbon and the fungus supplies nutrients, mainly P and N. There are three categories of mycorrhiza, the most common being Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF). About 95% of flowering plants form the arbuscular mycorrhizal relationships in their native habitats.

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi live inside the roots and develop an extensive network of mycelium (tiny hyphal filaments) that radiate from the roots into the surrounding soil. Mycorrhizal hyphae can extend into root pores not accessed by root hair. This allows unexploited areas with available nutrients to be explored. Hypha have a bigger surface area, thus enhancing plants’ nutrient absorption capacity. Hypha mycelium network can increase active root surface for nutrient acquisition up to 700 times!
