What the Turf Program Is
The DPH Biologicals microbial soil and turf health program is designed to transform the soil profile, manage thatch, improve water efficiency, and reduce mechanical aeration, all from a single-tank spray. It pairs living microbial biofertilizers and biostimulants with targeted nutrition to build healthier soil and stronger, more resilient turf over time.
Who It Is For
The program fits golf courses and sports fields, anywhere a manager wants to reduce compaction and improve turf quality without relying on mechanical core aeration.
Benefits
- Improved turf quality
- Reduced compaction, lower than core aeration
- Results better than or similar to core aeration
- Faster thatch and residue breakdown
- Improved water efficiency
- Stronger root vigor and nutrient uptake
Application Schedule
The Turf Program runs in four levels, where each level builds on the one below it. AmplAphex®, Residuce® WS, and Cal Mag Max 7-0-3 anchor every level, EssenAphex® joins from Better up, the Companion® Maxx Liquid Biological Fungicide from Great up, and MicroStix Prime® at the Best level.
