Macro-Sorb Technologies to launch 3 new products at GIS

Macro-Sorb Technologies will launch three new products at the 2015 Golf Industry Show, held Feb. 21-26 in San Antonio. Its sister company, SMS Additive Solutions (SMS), also will introduce a new product to combat soil bicarbonate issues.

Macro-PHITE by Macro-Sorb is a double-action plant protection phosphite fertilizer formulated to increase resistance to biotic stress caused by pathogens and abiotic stress caused by adverse climatic conditions.

Macro-SI pairs soluble silicon with Macro-Sorb’s advanced amino acid technology to promote rapid nutrient uptake and utilization. The proprietary formulation in Macro-SI delivers readily available silicon activated with a complex of amino acids.

Macro-RELIEF Salt Stress Reliever increases stress tolerance of turfgrass caused by high salinity levels in the soil or irrigation, according to Macro-Sorb. Macro-RELIEF works by providing plant available calcium along with Macro-Sorb L-amino acids to regulate osmotic potential within the plant, resulting in increased cell hydration, the company says.

SMS’ Bye-CARB is designed to combat challenging growing conditions caused by high levels of soil bicarbonates. Formulated with SMS technology, Bye-Carb efficiently degrades bicarbonates across a wide range of soil conditions.

“The Macro-Sorb and SMS Additive Solutions DEFEND line is designed to provide new tools to combat specific turf management challenges,” says Michael Kubinec, vice president for Macro-Sorb and SMS Additive Solutions. “These products fit seamlessly into our established Macro-Sorb and SMS management programs. Used together, they enhance and defend turf, decreasing the turfgrass plant’s vulnerability to environmental stresses and threats to plant health.”

Macro-Sorb and SMS Additive Solutions will be at booth #7062 at the Golf Industry Show.
