Golf courses and sports fiels

Achieve a greener turf with better ball roll!

Our natural products boost growth, strengthen the turf’s natural resilience and encourage healthy, robust grass. In our experience, healthy, resilient turf is better equipped to handle stress. Plus, improving resilience offers added benefits for your sports field or golf course:  

• Reduced resistance to ball roll
• The grass has a more vibrant green colour
• Dense, but not overly compacted turf
• Growth of deep, healthy roots

How can you achieve these extra benefits for your golf course or sports field?

Here are some examples:

• By regularly applying our CE biostimulant SilicaPower (silicon) to sports fields and golf courses, you can literally strengthen the grass blades. Silicon strengthens the cell walls and the epidermis of the grass. Harder grass blades are less susceptible to fungi. Silicon also boosts root growth, enabling the grass to absorb water and nutrients more effectively. This results in a greener field for players throughout the year. Measurements taken with a Stimpmeter show that golf balls roll for longer.
• Use Cuprum (micro-copper). This stimulates growth by improving photosynthesis and enzyme activity. Copper also plays a key role in the formation of lignin in cell walls, allowing the grass to grow stronger and more upright. This leads to a smoother cut and better ball roll, which are critical factors for accurate play.

Recommended dosage of SilicaPower and Cuprum

For optimal results, we recommend applying SilicaPower and Cuprum during the growing season, when daytime temperatures are higher than 8◦C.

• SilicaPower: Spray at a dose of 0.5 litres/hectare every 14 days. You can also apply SilicaPower through your irrigation system.
• Cuprum: Spray at a dose of 0.5 litres/hectare every 7 days, starting in August until the daytime temperatures fall below 8◦C.

Harder grass blades and stronger roots contribute to lush, green turf
