GrowTekSA is the exclusive distributor in the Republic of South Africa of these products for turf management, water efficiency and growth enhancement:

AquaMAXX is an advanced blend of surfactants, wetting agents and kelp extract. AquaMAXX increases nutrient uptake, encourages deeper and denser root growth and decreases the requirement for hand watering.

Organic Acid Removal System

OARS is a major breakthrough in dealing with water-repellent soils. Many other surfactants and other soil amendments just alleviate the symptoms of soil water-repellency. Unlike other surfactants that mask the conditions of water repellency, OARS also removes the cause - the build-up of organic substances that coat the surface of coarse-textured sand particles. Golf course and bowling green superintendents that use OARS will now be equipped to manage water movement problems in their soil profile as well as take corrective action to remove hydrophobic deposits from the soil particle surface.  OARS is the ultimate in managing water repellency and localized dry spots .

PBS150 promises to become the new standard for long-term surfactant technology in turfgrass. It has undergone a rigorous research and development program followed by extensive field testing under real world turfgrass management conditions. PBS150 has proven it will:

• Reduce hydrophobic conditions on a sustainable basis for 5 months or more

• Encourage a pattern of hydration and re-hydration that improves the amount of available water in the soil profile to meet the metabolic demands of the plant

• Restore the uniform movement of water into and through the soil matrix

• Promote improvement in turfgrass quality, color, and uniformity

• Improve stress tolerance

Omni Directional Surfactant

Aquifer is a cost effective polymeric polyoxyalkylene soil surfactant that attaches itself to organic acids within the growing media supplying lasting lateral movement (omni directional) of water and nutrients throughout the soil structure. Aquifer achieves greater residual within the soil profile than typical soil surfactants. Aquifer Granular is impregnated on greens grade porous ceramic carrier for widespread usage.

Aquifer:

• Manages localized dry spots

• Long lasting reservoir in the soil

• Increases water retention

• Provides uniform wetting
