Superintendent’s Heat Stressed Grass Grows Back with Carbotein for Plant Nutrition

We all know that feeling when our plants, gardens or lawns start looking wilted and stressed. This spring and summer, Matt Lantrip, a golf course superintendent at Montclair Country Club in Montclair, Virginia, had some new greens that were struggling to thrive. The heat stressed grass needed to make a come back. Plant nutrition and soil oxygen became the solutions.

“I started seeing the stress and the wilt. Although I was trying to get the greens to bounce back, it was tough. So, I started using the Carbotein and it worked really well,” says Lantrip.

SoilPlex soil conditioner’s pure humic and fulvic acids improve plant health and increase crop yields sustainably. Because SoilPlex contains the purest available humic and fulvic acids, without the common toxins found in other sources of humic and fulvic acids, it is a preferred choice for agricultural uses, golf courses, lawn care and gardens. This OMRI listed soil conditioner made for organic growing is ideal for use whenever nutrient uptake and soil retention need optimization. This is particularly the case in soil depleted of its natural richness through pesticides or other pollutants. 

Agriox is agriculture’s answer to oxygen in soil. Likewise, this aerator product saves golf course superintendents, lawn care service providers and others, time, loss of game and money. Most of all, Agriox is an effective alternative to increase soil oxygen. It adjusts oxygen release to meet soil needs. Furthermore, it is environmentally and user friendly.
