BioActive

A name for a range of products made from natural, primarily organic, materials to improve the health and quality of rootzones, being manufactured by Angus Horticulture.
• AcidipHier: An organic chelating agent with an active ingredient of citric acid, being applied at 30kg in 300 to 600 litres of water per hectare for routine plant health, increasing to 40 kg at the same dilution rate for stressed swards.
• AquaClear: A range of bacteria which can be added to watercourses to reduce the growth of algae by utilising nitrogen and phosphorus which has been leached or washed into the watercourse thereby also reducing the ability of algae to contaminate the watercourse. The material is applied on a fortnightly basis to maintain a suitably clear water course.
• CT Activator, Bacterial: A compost tea with a blend of amino acids, humates and plant extracts to encourage beneficial soil bacteria. To produce up to 500 litres of compost tea 1 litre of concentrate is required.
• CT Activator, Fungal: A compost tea with a blend of amino acids, humates and plant extracts to encourage beneficial soil fungi. To produce up to 500 litres of compost tea 1 litre of concentrate is required.
• Express: A biostimulant with an analysis of 4:25:9 (N:P2O5:K2O). It has a suggested application rate of either 4 litres of concentrate for mature turf or 2 litres of concentrate for seedling turf in 200 to 400 litres of water per hectare.
• FerroCarb: A blend of carbohydrate extracts, amino acids, proteins and iron, being applied at 20 to 40 litres of concentrate diluted in 200 to 400 litres of water per hectare.
• Infiltrate: An organic wetting agent used to reduce water stress in plants.
• Invigo: A blend of plant extracts with added iron, being applied at 50 to 150 litres of concentrate diluted in 300 to 500 litres of water per hectare.
• Magnet: Produced from clinoptilolite to improve the CEC of a rootzone. A typical application rate is 1 to 4 tonnes per hectare for amending to rootzones during construction, and 0.5 to 1 tonne per hectare to established turf, following aeration activities. It is also marketed as Zeolite.
• Maxim: Humic and fulvic acids in a concentrated liquid, being applied at 20 to 40 litres of concentrate diluted in 200 to 400 litres of water per hectare, with 3 applications per year for soil-based swards and 4 to 6 applications per year for sand-based swards.
• MolTurf: A concentrated liquid carbohydrate, being applied at 10 to 20 litres of concentrate diluted in 500 to 600 litres of water per hectare, all on a regular basis throughout the year.
• RZ: Vegetable based material of trace elements, humic and fulvic acids, with bacteria and mycorrhizae. The application rate is 0.5 to 1 tonnes/ha for established turf and 1 to 2 tonnes/ha for use in the soil bed for seeding or turfing.
• Seaweed: A concentrated liquid (with 30% solids) extract from the seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum. A typical analysis consists of N:P2O5:K2O of 0.58:0.29:1.02, along with a range of other elements, with alginates, amino acids, gibberellins, and many more. The suggested application rate is 3 to 5 litres of concentrate in 300 to 500 litres of water per hectare, being applied on 3 occasions per year.
• TE: A concentrated liquid blend of chelated trace elements, as well as some macronutrients, carbohydrates, humic acid, fulvic acid and seaweed extract. Contents have arisen from a range of materials, including Ascophyllum nodosum, sugar cane molasses, and ferric ammonium EDTA. The suggested application rate is 20 to 40 litres of concentrate in 300 to 500 litres of water per hectare.
• Thatch Reduce: A water dispersible powder containing a range of bacteria and fungi to aid thatch breakdown. The suggested application rate is 250g to 1kg of powder added to 200 to 400 litres of water per hectare.
