TourTurf® PTC – ProActive Turf Concept
Oxide: 1-0-2
An organic surfactant with soil improvement and bio-fertiliser effects. 100 % plant based.
TourTurf® PTC ProActive Turf Concept is a natural adjuvant and biostimulant containing a blend of plant extracts from Quillaja saponaria (Soapbark tree) and Yucca schidigera (Mojave yucca).
The saponin and fulvic acid ingredients in the product provide the best quality surfactant, increasing the efficiency of nutrient absorption both in foliar and soil applications. Together with the biostimulant properties the product maximises turf quality, performance and turf health.
ProActive Turf Concept contains both hydrophilic and hydrophobic components that removes surface tension of liquids, so previously insoluble compounds can mix. The Quillaja Saponaria extract has surfactant properties, forming ‘micelles’ that change the binding characteristics of the liquids in which they are mixed.
The concentric formation of small micelles have an affinity that binds them to sterols, making it easier to enter cell walls. Similarly, the Yucca schidigera has the ability to affect cell wall penetration into plants.
Applicable to soil and foliar application.
Biostimulant properties: When mixed with other nutrients, biostimulants or chemical solutions that are less easy to apply and get into the plant, the ProActive greatly increases uptake and efficiency of action of these formulants through co-formulation.
Also ProActive Turf Concept is known to increase the metabolic efficiency of the turfplant and to improve the turf plant’s immune system as ProActive Turf Concept also contains salicylic acid. This allows the turf plants to perform better under stress and disease conditions.
The product will allow the turf plants to thrive and flourish. ProActive Turf Concept will in general help you minimise fertiliser and chemical production input.
