True Plant Health: Solving Photosynthetic Challenges
Mowing Low Limits Sunlight Absorption
Plant health and stress tolerance levels are directly related to sunlight. Mowing heights severely limit the amount of absorbed sunlight, which impacts how many critical biochemical materials can be made for the photosynthesis, respiration, and protein synthesis process steps.
Importance of Nitrogen
Turf managers control growth with nitrogen, but the true potential health and defensive strength of the plant comes from all metabolic processes working together.
Nitrogen is a crucial component, but without the proper balance of biochemical materials (hormones, metabolites and nutrients) required to assimilate nitrogen into stress fighting proteins and enzymes, excess growth, poor texture and depletion of root reserves can occur.
The challenge becomes how to increase photosynthetic plant materials without increasing mowing heights.
The Real Challenge:
True Plant Health is Cyclical, Not Linear
Metabolic Processes are not linear but are instead cyclical. Thus, the proteins and enzymes produced are used to create the next set of cells to repeat the same ongoing cycles. Any reduction in one process area will impact the future outputs in all other cellular processes.
FLORATINE SOLUTION – Products Uniquely Designed To Balance Metabolic Processes
When turf managers start using Floratine to correct metabolic imbalances, they quickly experience:
1. Superior Color
2. Healthy Vigor (controlled growth)
3. Ideal Texture (ball speeds)
4. Deep, Fibrous and Healthy Rooting
5. Excellent Tolerance to Stress (environmental/traffic/management intensity)
