The golf and sports turf industries are experiencing a revival in recent years. These industries utilize much tighter controls and generally higher inputs to produce premium quality turfgrass for golf patrons, athletics and other uses. In parallel, these operations are increasingly subject to mitigate impacts of nutrient and agrochemical runoff into their surface and groundwater systems. The often sand-enriched soils of golf course surfaces provide comparatively less organic matter and other materials, which can lead to high rates of leaching into surrounding environments. The Aqua-Yield® line of products can help address these challenges with their well-documented capacity to improve nutrient uptake as well as pesticide and biostimulant uptake by turf tissues.
Annual nutrient and chemical budgets for these operations can range from the tens of thousands to excess of one-million dollars, easily. Entire teams of staff can find themselves in a never-ending daily race to apply scheduled nutrients and pesticides while coping with variable weather, resulting. These daily trips with sprayers are a large point-source of leaching and runoff into surrounding environments. By leveraging the Aqua-Yield® NanoShield® enhanced nutrient and product delivery technology, less active ingredient can be placed into sprayers’ tanks for each day’s planned applications. Additionally, fewer trips over a growing season can be expected. With this improved efficiency, labor and resources are freed to devote elsewhere. This dual win can give golf course superintendents the flexibility they need to ensure premium turfgrass quality throughout their seasons.
