It’s almost time to celebrate the new year—but first, a look back at the new products that made an entrance in 2021.

Fertilizers

Labor Efficient Program products contain Duration CR®, which provides an extended, steady release of nitrogen over a long period of time. The result is a healthier plant with less environmental impact. The Labor Efficient Program products are as follows:

Nature Safe 18-0-2 Coarse W/AS & Stabilized N & Foliar-Pak Armament contains three forms of nitrogen: animal protein for an organic base of bioavailable nutrition, ammonium sulfate for a quick color response, and stabilized urea for a long-lasting controlled release. It provides a controlled release of microbe-feeding sugars and carbohydrates plus Armament to increase nutrient uptake and unlock tied-up soil nutrients.

Other

EutroSORB Phosphorus Filtration Technology is a water filtration technology specifically designed for intercepting soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) from moving water. It offers an efficient and economical solution to reduce phosphorus inputs, slow down or stop the eutrophication process, and restore water quality.

Foliar-Pak Pond Additive is a nanoparticle polymeric silicic acid designed specifically to feed the naturally occurring diatoms in ponds, lakes, and other small bodies of water. These species of microalgae are clear and produce oxygen—meaning the more they grow, the better the body of water looks. As it’s not designed to kill anything, the additive is safe to use in all bodies of water.

Solarous is a chromatic plant enhancer that combines reflective ingredients and innovative surfactant systems. It gives your surfaces a distinct appearance and protects turf health by reflecting UV radiation.
