Chemical Programs Can Include Organic and Biological Treatments

Biologicals represent management tools that can be incorporated into an existing fertility program based on chemistry. In other words, you can opt to use the best of both approaches. Good chemistry and good biology can work together, hand in hand.

While there are some chemical and biological treatments that are incompatible if mixed in the same tank (like fungicides and mycorrhizal fungi inoculants), both such treatments can be used with care and proper timing. Furthermore, biological treatments can restore some of the natural growth characteristics of turf, and can provide noticeable resistance to various environmental stresses. This leads to a smoother transition between warm and cool season grasses and a reduced reliance on the more expensive fertility and pest management treatments.

Of course, you will want to maintain your chemical fertility and pesticide treatments. But your turf will not be completely dependent on these inputs when it has biological partners to support its needs for water, minerals, and stress defense.

Benefits of Biological Treatments

• Increase the organic content of the soil by adding any of various organic amendments such as an organic-based fertilizer, compost, or by mulching in the clippings.
• Inoculate with beneficial soil bacteria that can provide a sustainable fertility effect, can stimulate root growth, or can provide disease-resistance.
• Inoculate the turf with organic/biological products to increase its ability to withstand drought, improve mineral nutrient uptake, and achieve better seasonal transitioning between warm and cool season grasses.
