Plant health is directly related to photosynthesis, which drives critical plant processes.
Unfortunately, mowing grass low removes most of its “solar panels” (leaf blades), preventing it from capturing enough sunlight.
Most of the critical elements in plant health are produced in the tip of the leaf blade, such as; chlorophyl, carbohydrates, amino acids and proteins.
As photosynthesis is reduced, the plant cannot make or use enough proteins for structure, recovery, respiration and stress defense, leaving finely-mowed turf at a major disadvantage.
Floratine® was developed by turf scientists specifically for finely-mowed turf to naturally put back into the plant what is taken away when mowed and to boost the plant’s natural processes for increasing root mass and surface density, without the added plant height.
Photosynthesis is required for plant health; however, finely-mowed turf often has over 90% of its natural leaf blade removed!
