As the 2024 sports season continues, sports field managers should consider adding additive products to their tanks to give their fungicide, herbicide, and insecticide applications a boost. Additive products can enhance health, promote color response, and ensure hard water and other poor-quality water don’t reduce an application’s efficacy. We’ve put together a handful of additive products that our customers find beneficial to help you learn more about how these products work—and how they can improve low-volume sprayer applications.
Foliar-Pak Micros Plus
Micros Plus, a liquid fertilizer, offers foliar delivery of essential nutrients that promote improvement of overall turfgrass growth. Featuring Armament Technology, Micros Plus uses micronutrients and plant extracts to improve nutrient utilization, and it also contains potassium to help turfgrass better tolerate stressful conditions. Its targeted nutrients and biostimulants aid in cell division, chlorophyll formation, and metabolism of carbohydrates and nitrogen. Micros Plus also contains amino acids, which enhance turf’s nutrient uptake, translocation, and utilization.
Precision Laboratories LV
Precision Laboratories LV, an adjuvant that combines spreading and buffering properties to a spray mix, prevents water quality from being an issue when making applications. LV contains water conditioners that block hard water cations and reduce pH. These two factors help ensure that the spray solution remains effective, while the non-ionic surfactant blended into LV improves the coverage of the spray droplet to improve uptake.
Foliar-Pak Microsync
Foliar-Pak Microsync is an absorption-increasing additive that contains boron, copper, iron, manganese, zinc, and amino acids—all of which work together to address micronutrient deficiencies. The metals in Microsync are 100% chelated to enhance absorption, ensuring long-lasting color and health benefits.
Products Containing Foliar-Pak Armament Technology
Armament technology helps make nutrient applications up to 30% more efficient. Its negatively charged, long-chain carbon structures help free up nutrients from things that keep them precipitated. Armament technology also protects nutrients in spray tanks and ensures that more nutrients are available for plant uptake. Its formula is also concentrated with hardly any fillers, allowing it to succeed at working with low-volume equipment.
Armament products are budget-conscious and come in several formulations, including a 38% sprayable concentrate, making them good, easy-to-use, sprayable additive products.
Armament Concentrate
Armament Concentrate is a high-molecular-weight amino acid polymer that works to improve nutrient uptake, helping create healthy turf and bringing relief to compromised turf. When tank-mixed with compatible products, applications result in deeper, stronger roots, longer-lasting color, and improved stress, insect, and disease tolerance.
