Why it matters on a sod farm

Faster turnover, stronger sod, less waste

The program engages the soil microbiome with both granular and liquid applications, so plants can put more energy into production, rooting strength and quality. It is built to ride with the farm's existing nutrition, IPM and herbicide program.

Dense, high-quality sod with strong stolon tensile strength
Aggressive rhizome development and faster field regeneration after harvest
More efficient use of conventional fertilizer and IPM inputs
Less waste per harvested load and less soil removed with each pallet
