Fall is the time for Turf!
by Joe Magazzi
Have you thought about
your fall turf applications yet? A great time to treat your turf is in
early September (just a couple of weeks away) when the nights start to get
cooler and the dew helps keep the soil moist. The fall application is critical
for turf care; it is during this period that established grass will really grow
roots with a burst of under-the-soil growth. The fall is also the best time of
the year for putting in new turf with seeding and/or over-seeding. In either
case, a treatment with a combination of Quantum Growth and Neptune's Harvest
2-0-2 Turf Formula (no phosphorous) formulation will pay huge dividends - not
only for greener lawns deeper into the fall and winter, but also for a quicker
greening in the spring and healthier, thicker turf for the entire
year.
Quantum Growth is simply probiotics for plants, trees
and turf. Soil biology supplementation is quickly becoming a norm in the green industries with new exciting research coming out every day,
validating and advancing the concept. The beneficial microbes used in Quantum Growth have been safely produced and used commercially for over 40
years; multiple university studies and use by top professionals in the industry (such as the Miami Dolphins, Jacksonville Jaguars, Disney
properties) to prove the product unlike any other biological ever. The beneficial microbes in Quantum Growth naturally produce plant hormones in a steady fashion
to stimulate root growth and turf quality without the need or side-effects from
artificial growth regulators. In additional, establishing better soil
biology with Quantum Growth helps to reduce the runoffs and costs associated
with excess fertilizer use (organic or synthetic fertilizers) which often leads
to disease and pest outbreaks as well as unhealthy, weak turf much more
susceptible to damage with increased maintenance needs and costs.  |

Neptune’s Harvest Turf Formula is a balanced mixture of Hydrolyzed
North Atlantic Fish, Molasses, Seaweed (Ascophyllum Nodosum), Humate, and Yucca Extract. This great mixture contains many
micro-nutrients (like a multivitamin), growth stimulants from the seaweed,
permeabilization and wetting from the yucca and just enough of macro-nutrients
from the fish for an outstanding nutrient product that feeds multiple parts of
soil health and turf growth. Since nutrients require soil biology in order to be cycled, delivered and retained in the soil (and microbes need a
balanced mixture of nutrients to proliferate and work) the combination of
the 2 products acts synergistically: 1+1=4
(not 2) when the Quantum Growth and Neptune’s Harvest are used together in the
same tank mixture! Turf Formula and Quantum Growth are great additions to your
standard fall nutrients (standard nutrients can often be significantly reduced
with this combination) or can be used as a stand-alone program in balanced soils
to stimulate seed germination and give your customers great lawns! This
combination and advanced program has been optimized through many years of
practice and is proven by the top landscapers, organic consultants and sports
turf professionals throughout the country (both organic and hybrid
applicators.) Most importantly, the price is great and the treatment volume is
very low compared to traditional methods products (3 oz/1,000 sf Quantum Growth
and 6 oz /1,000 sf Neptune’s Harvest Turf Formula).
