In our commitment to science-based solutions, Plant Science works hand-in-hand with leading researchers and universities to address the fertility issues that superintendents face daily. Studies conducted confirm that turf-grass grown in sand-based media shares common nutrient deficiencies. This has led to the development of protocols for field and university research station trials to reduce disease pressure through programs that optimize balanced fertility, and which form the basis of our business. Examining the effect of fertility on disease expression enables us to develop and promote products and programs based on solid scientific research and to measure their success on plant health.
