Using Prograss Bio's Products to help Maintain and Protect your Sports Grounds

Using Prograss Bio Products for your Sports Turf, Pitch and Stadium

Using Prograss Bio Products on your turf and see:

Improved resistance and recovery from pests, disease, and stress
Faster and more successful germination
Roots develop more mass and depth
A reduction of other maintenance chemicals, feeds, and other inputs
Increased chlorophyll
Improved water efficiency making plants more resilient to drought and flood
Increased sward density

Looking after playing fields and sports grounds can at times be difficult. The turf needs to constantly be able to keep up with the demand from continuous use whilst remaining easy to maintain but being cost effective.

Not only does using Prograss Bio Products successfully supports groundstaff and greenkeepers to achieve their goals, but it enhances the strength and health of the turf for a more striking and resilient playing surface.

Just as much as we can ensure that the plant remains strong and healthy, but it is also our priority that our product is safe to handle, store and use with no harm to the environment, wildlife, or humans.

Racecourses

The biggest challenge for racecourses is recovery from hoof damage. Prograss bio's biostimulants increase rooting and make the track more resilient to hoof damage. This is especially important on the bends and take off and landing areas.

By using Promote it has been shown to increase the time between watering the track during dry periods and this in turn helps maintain the going better.

Cricket

Cricket wickets can be one of the hardest Sports surfaces to produce consistently. As you can see from the photo on the right, you can clearly see the positive effect that Promote has on on the grass during the prolonged dry spell. This enabled the wicket to be played more often and recovered from wear much faster.

“I have been using Promote on my cricket squares for the last couple of seasons and have been seriously impressed with the effects.

A treatment every 4-6 weeks throughout the season significantly improves the root development and helps keep the surface bound together. It also appears to better help the grass plant cope with the stress it undergoes in the preparation of a cricket wicket, which is evident even in dry weather.

Further treatment when renovating a pitch after it has been used reduces the recovery time of the sward and brings back the colour quickly. I have also noticed that areas treated with Promote show far more resistance to many fungal diseases and in particular Red Thread”

“I have been using Promote for the last 3 years.

I have found that it greatly increases the overall health of the plant and this coupled with the extra rooting we have seen since beginning the program, Promote has been critical for us to improve the racecourse and is now an essential part of my maintenance plan.

We have also noticed that the track recovers from usage and hoof damage far more quickly and ‘stands up’ for far longer. In the summer months we have seen the track cope better in prolonged periods of drought”.

Football & Rugby

From scrums to hard tackles, the Groundstaff know that a pitch must stand up to all the pressures that the game puts on natural sports turf .

The main benefits from using our products are the increased rooting and sward density. It has been proven by using Prograss bio's products that Pitches on a Promote and Flav-x program come out of the winter period much stronger than ones that are not on the program

Golf

The pictures on the right are from a French customer that uses our products in a year round program. The root depth doubled in one season using the products on both Greens and Tees. Tee boxes recovered faster from divots and ball marks on greens were less visible also. Prograss bio's products when combined in the program also reduced the need for other products and reduced the number of inputs needed on the golf course.

“We have had Promote in our program since 2018 and it is particularly important for us during the scorching heat of late spring to prime the plant to better withstand the environmental stresses of the hot months”
