Central Florida Sod Farm
Austin Ham, Director of Sales and Agronomy for TriYield, recently trialed 2 gal/ac CXPro with 1 gal/ac of BioLife Max as a food source on St. Augustine Turf. St. Augustine grass is popular in Florida and the Gulf states due to its tolerance of heat and humidity.
Austin states, “There was a descent thatch layer and take-all root rot in the grass but we have pushed some very nice new root growth in just two weeks.” Take-all root rot is a common fungal disease in St. Augustine grass and bermudagrass, thriving in thatch causing weak, dead patches of turf.
The pictures above show evidence of new roots despite a thick layer of thatch which creates a barrier and a multitude of problems. When used with a food source, CXPro enhances the microbe activity providing a better soil environment for the breakdown of organic matter, and overall turf health.
CXPro is a product manufactured with Purple Cow Organics® patented process. Thousands of fungal and bacterial strains are driven to the soil and plant by Aqua-Yield® Technology that shields exudates and metabolites, enhancing the rhizosphere. CXPro is an effective and flexible tool in building soil health and nutrient use efficiency throughout the turf season.
