University Studies Support Benefits of Adding Holganix to Turf Maintenance Routine

-- Recent studies at three universities demonstrate the efficacy of Holganix with reduced amounts of traditional fertilizers and herbicides --

GLEN MILLS, Pa.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Holganix is a 100% natural bio-nutritional product that helps create lush green, healthy lawns and trees while reducing the need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Recent studies at three universities have confirmed the benefits of Holganix in regard to fertility, pre-emergent weed control and post-emergent weed control.

“The Purdue study shows that the addition of Holganix to a herbicide produced encouraging results for broadleaf plantain suppression, decreasing the need for a herbicide by 62%. Of particular interest: Holganix alone provided suppression of both dandelion and buckhorn plantain.”

Fertility

A North Carolina State University study showed that Holganix reduced the amount of methylene urea fertilizer required to produce lush green results by 50%. Researchers at Pennsylvania State University observed that Holganix combined with all rates of urea (1.0, 0.5, 0.25 lb per 1,000 sq ft) produced greener, better quality turf than urea alone. Dr. Robert W. Neidermyer, Scientific Consultant to Holganix, says, “The Purdue University study shows that Holganix combined with low rates of methylene urea produced greening results statistically equal to higher rates of urea alone. This was an unexpected result.”

Pre-Emergence Weed Control

Researchers at North Carolina State University found that Holganix decreased the need for prodiamine, a crabgrass herbicide. Dr. Neidermyer reports that Holganix, when combined with 33% less than the recommended amount of herbicide, produced weed control results equal to areas treated with the full recommended application of prodiamine.

Post-Emergence Weed Control

Penn State researchers observed that the addition of Holganix to a herbicide improved control of white clover. They also found that Holganix decreased the amount of herbicide needed by 66% to produce the same post-emergence clover control. Dr. Neidermyer reports, “The Purdue study shows that the addition of Holganix to a herbicide produced encouraging results for broadleaf plantain suppression, decreasing the need for a herbicide by 62%. Of particular interest: Holganix alone provided suppression of both dandelion and buckhorn plantain.”

These studies confirm that Holganix can achieve efficacy in fertility and weed control with significantly reduced rates of fertilizer and certain pre and post emergent herbicides.
