What
is Recharge?
The Recharge Program combines beneficial
Azospirillum microbes with LEX,
a microbial stimulant. Early in the growing
season, Recharge helps your turf establish
a strong healthy root system to better
withstand the stress of disease, heat,
insects, and general wear and tear. When
used early and late in the growing season,
Recharge increases the plants' energy
reserve and gears-up for winter. By stimulating
root growth, Recharge increases the turf's
uptake of water and nutrients, resulting
in:
- Earlier
spring green-up
-
Greater efficiency from your fertility
program
-
Rejuvenation from stress of the growing
season
- Healthy
seedlings during overseeding
-
Preparation for winter
How
does it work?
Azospirillum are beneficial nitrogen-fixing
bacteria that seek out and colonize the
surface of plant roots. While there, they
produce plant growth promoters, specifically
IAA (indole acetic acid). This promotes
the formation of root hairs, dramatically
increasing the roots' surface area. Similarly,
the overall root mass and density increase,
allowing for improved uptake of water
and nutrients. This creates a more vigorous,
healthy turf plant that is better able
to withstand negative environmental pressures.
