SeaweedSeaweed is an ideal tonic for grass that suffers from stress and poor root development, it also helps to alleviate the symptoms of nematode damage.

Seaweed acts as a soil conditioner, strengthening the plant thus allowing it to fight disease and fungal infections. This in turn relieves the grass of environmental stress, allowing it to develop stronger, healthier roots.

Seaweed contains plant hormones that stimulate the biological defences of the grass, whilst it’s rich amino acid content aids plant recovery and stimulates growth in grass under stress.

Nematode researchWithin the European turf grass industry, an increase in nematode damage has led to the use of a range of techniques to reduce both nematode numbers and turf symptoms, the use of cold process seaweed extracts has been particularly effective in alleviating stress and reducing visible nematode symptoms.

‘Our trials have shown that applications of SeaVolution can encourage root mass and turf colour in the presence of both endoparasitic and ectoparasitic nematodes’.

‘This can provide Turf Managers with an effective and environmental approach to nematode management across a range of golf course types, from traditional links to modern USGA parkland constructions’.

Dr. Colin Fleming, Queens University, Belfast.

Seavolution RangeSeaVolution is a unique, cold process seaweed extractproduced from fresh, hand-picked Ascophyllum nodosum. The seaweed is a sustainable resource and is collected from the sheltered bays and unpolluted waters of the Atlantic Ocean, around the north west coast of Ireland.

Due to the unique cold extraction process SeaVolution is high in micronutrients, plant hormones and alginates, all of which are found naturally in Ascophyllum nodosum.

Ascophyllum nodosum Ascophyllum nodosum (knotted wrack) is a brown macro-algae growing between the low and mid-inter tidal zone of the North Atlantic Ocean. The west coast of Ireland and particularly the Donegal coast, rich in rocky sheltered areas, presents a pure and abundant source of Ascophyllum nodosum. This species is traditionally hand-harvested by local cutters, using careful rotation and selection of cutting areas to allow sustainable management of stocks.

The benefits of a cold seaweed extract OGT has developed, on an industrial scale, a new way of bursting the cells of the seaweed without using any chemicals or heat.

Synthetic chemicals are heavily regulated in numerous applications and they also modify the natural composition of the seaweeds. Heat when applied over 40oC, alters the natural structure of numerous bioactive compounds. OGT’s cold process retains the bioactive molecules naturally present in the seaweed.When the seaweed cell walls burst they release the main bioactive compounds into the 100% soluble liquid extract SeaVolution. SeaVolution thus contains all the natural key compounds of the fresh seaweed beneficial to plants and grasses:

Plant hormones - As with any other plant, seaweed has plant hormone-like molecules that occur naturally, with some variations throughout the year. Auxins are the most predominant plant hormone found in SeaVolution.

Vitamins - Brown seaweeds do not have large amounts of vitamins, but useful quantities of vitamins A, C and E. These are known as anti-oxidants which help the plant in it’s basic physiology to fight against stresses such as drought and parasites.

Polyphenols - Brown seaweeds, and in particular this species, contain quite high proportions of polyphenols, which have high anti-oxidant activity and therefore help the plant during cellular stress in coping with free radicals generated by a pathogen attack.

Pigments - Fucoxanthin along with chlorophyll-a are the main pigments in this species. These compounds are very strong photo-protectors and anti-oxidants.

SeaVolution is used as a remedy for poor grass growth caused by stress,restricted root development and root attack by parasitic nematodes and fungal pathogens.

The unique extraction process squeezes every last drop of goodness from the seaweed giving a product that cannot be bettered in it’s class.

SeaVolution can be used around the golf course on greens, tees, approaches and fairways. It can also be used on bowls greens and other fine turf surfaces, outfield sports areas and ornamental lawns.

SeaVolution Plus provides all the benefits of SeaVolution but with the addition of chelated iron for fast green up and maximum hardening of the turfgrass, to discourage disease attacks.

SeaVolution Granules

SeaVolution Granular is an organic mini granular blend of seaweed meal and composted seaweed, containing humicacid, calcium, magnesium and micronutrients in a uniqueformulation.

SeaVolution Granular can be used on all sand and soil based loams, helping to produce an improved soil structure and enhanced root development for the grass turf plant.

SeaVolution Granular contains three different seaweed types, each component has a different benefit

50% of micronised Ascophyllum nodosumFast acting - is available to the plant straight away and will breakdown completely within 6 weeks of application.

Ascophyllum nodosum is fresh, hand harvested seaweed, that undergoes a unique cold extraction process to help breakdown the seaweed cell. Due to this process SeaVolution Granular retains the naturally occuring high levels of micronutrients and alginates.

25% Ascophyllum seaweed mealSlow release - this conventional seaweed will breakdown within 4 months of application.

25% calcified seaweedWith more than 25% of natural calcium and about 3% of natural magnesium, this benefits the turf both directly and indirectly.

Fast and slow release

SeaVolution Granular contains a high level of organic matter, in particular natural carbon. This carbon source is immediately available, allowing soil microbial life to develop rapidly such as nitrogen-fixing bacteria.The low temperatures used during the production process ensures that the product is rich in antioxidants, in particular polyphenols which play an important role in the nitrogen cycle.

Calcium

Applying SeaVolution Granular ensures the availability of a naturally occuring calcium directly into the soil profile, improving root development. The presence of calcium also has the effect of strengthening the plant cell walls and improves nitrogen use efficiency.

Calcified seaweed

The natural calcified seaweed used in SeaVolution Granular contains significant amounts of natural magnesium, anessential part of chlorophyll production.

Rootmass Plus Trial

Rootmass Plus has been developed to maximise the synergies between SeaVolution and natural soil structure enhancers. The product contains high quality, plant available humic and fulvic acids, a highly soluble chelated iron, together with the SeaVolution, the market leading unique cold processed seaweed extract.The components of Rootmass Plus are particularly effective forimproving both mass and root structure development of the root system, acting directly on parts of the plant below ground and indirectly through the enhancement of soil microbial activity.

The product should be applied during autumn and spring and is designed to increase root length, structure and biomass, whilst also acting as a soil conditioner.

Rootmass Trial

The graph below shows the results of a trial undertaken by Dr. Colin Fleming, Applied Plant Science Group, AFBI, Belfast in 2011.

Rootmass Plus was applied as a foliar application at two week intervals over a three month period.

The results showing a greatly increased rootmass against the control.

Rootmass Plus is an ideal partner for Greenmaster Step Liquid, Magflo 300, P-Kursor and Vision Pro, when applied in support of plant nutrients, as the grass is naturally stimulated to lay down additional roots and store growth supplements in the autumn and spring months.

Benefits of Rootmass Plus

• Combines natural soil enhancers with the highest possible concentration of the purest seaweed extract available

• Increases both length and thickness of roots, dramatically improving the plants ability to sustain healthy growth in adverse conditions

• Quality soil conditioner• Consistent, proven results from independent trials• Fits in with most fertiliser and soil management

programs.
