Agricen_TurfWe recently presented product chemistry and efficacy updates on Accomplish LM and Titan PBA to several Turf & Ornamental (T&O) teams.

The teams were very receptive to learning more about this plant nutrition technology and the different protocols for diverse T&O markets—from greenhouses, hydroponics, nurseries, and flowers, to turf, sod, golf courses, parks, homes, and cities.

Many members shared encouraging data they are getting from current test plots, as well as the favorable feedback they are hearing from their customers. The positive attention and willingness to start using this plant nutrition technology is very encouraging. Many have had some kind of experience using Accomplish and were interested in doing more. We’ll be working with them to get local data by putting out trial plots with Accomplish and/or Titan.

Learn more about the benefits of biocatalysts by viewing our T&O studies.

Dr. Bob Ames, Director of Applied Sciences at Agricen, was recently interviewed by Golf Course Industry, covering topics that include plant bionutrition research, sustainability, and how soil nutrient availability can be improved by incorporating bionutrition products into existing fertility programs.

One excerpt:

GCI: What do we see in bionutrition research right now?

Dr. Ames: There is a large variety of bionutrition products out there that make a lot of claims, especially for turf applications. It is a challenge to sift through those and see who has university research to back those claims up. We have substantiated our product claims with research in agronomic crops, which is the bulk of our market. What we see with agriculture is that when our products are combined with fertilizer, we help reduce nitrogen loss through volatilization and leeching. Thus, there is also a greater retention of nitrogen fertilizer in the soil. So, we can approach turf nutrition with environmental as well as economic concerns, especially now with new regulations restricting the application of nitrogen, or in some cases phosphorus-containing fertilizers…Our approach is to make more efficient and more effective use of the fertilizer when it’s combined with the product.
