Healthy turf promotes high populations of microorganisms in the thatch layer and topsoil, and makes turf an excellent water filter. It contributes to cell wall strength, cell elongation and permeability. Calcium influences, or induces numerous cellular processes via activation of appropriate enzymes and hormones within the plant. Calcium together with Sulfur, influences the photosynthesis process, and improves the soil structure, water retention and filtration. William A. Albrecht, Ph.D. reports in Vol.
Potassium is used by the plant in large quantities, and is second only to nitrogen.
It is the key component in the formation of carbohydrates-food and energy for the plant. It is responsible for better root development and shooting, providing Turf grasses with wear and drought tolerance when used in conjunction with soluble, readily available calcium. In June of 2000 Magic Green Corporation held a roundtable conference with their Product Formulation staff. The staff came in from all over the United States, Asia and South Africa. We at Magic Green feel this is an outstanding report.
