What’s happening in the GenNext Turfgrass Hybrid Application (A&B or C&D)

1.    A&B Foliar Application delivers, at the leaf, immediate nitrogen (N) that Improves coloration within 2 - 24 Hours. C&D requires applicator to add nitrogen (N),

2.    Soil Application delivers water soluble readily available carbon (WSRAC), micro nutrients, simple and complex carbohydrates,and the Key Complex of microbial exudates that include enzymes and plant hormones.A&B provides additional nitrogen (N).

3.    WSRAC activates the microbe population, simple and complex carbohydrates stimulate the microbes.

4.    Microbes energized start producing gummy substances (polysaccharides) to hold macro and micro nutrients in place to be available to the plant.

5.    Fungi Filaments (mycorrhiza) start to increase in population creating a hairnet like web of fungi that grows into the root increasing root capacity up to 700 times. These fungi absorb water and nutrients from the soil conducting them back to the roots. 

GenNext creates balance for your existing microbes, delivering to them byproducts not being produced by the current microbe population. 

Research on Reduced Rates of Fungicides for Anthracnose Control in Annual Bluegrass Putting Greens

The final data points are on this research project in a Research project with Rutgers University in particular Anthracnose Control with reduced rates of Fungicides and GenNext Products.  The label rate for Daconil Ultrex 82.5 is 3.2 oz. per 1000 sq. feet. This research was done reducing the rate by 25% to 2.4 ounces and 50% to 1.6 ounces See the charts Rutgers 2014

The table below shows the average result of four plots, through end of the trial of this year, using Daconil Ultrex 82.5 plus GenNext A&B at the 8 oz. of GenNext  A and 8 oz. GenNext B per 1000 square feet.

Values below 15% turf area infected with anthracnose are typically judged to be acceptable in research on this disease.

So as you can see we had significantly better control of the anthracnose using GenNext A&B and Daconil Ultrex at reduced rates.

Near Detroit Michigan Recovery Photos

Here is an update from the field on spring recovery. These pictures are from a course near Detroit Michigan after three treatments over six weeks of the GenNext A&B products. I think these pictures tell it all!

Winter Kill? Recovery is easy as A+B

Its been a long hard winter, where a number of courses are starting to look at the damage caused by this weather. We have taken some pictures from a few years ago to show how rapidly the turf recovers if you use the GenNext A&B products in early spring. These pictures are from 2011, if you would like more recent contacts from the 2013 season send us an email and we will be glad to forward contact information.

If you're serious about quick recovery contact us today!

In May of 2011 we started a recovery project with Sandstone Golf Club here is the pictorial history and the average temperatures from that period. Sandstone used the A&B products:
