How can I stop black layer?
Is black layer causing you problems?
Are you worried that Algae is negatively affecting your sports turf?
Do you need a safe, easy way to get rid of Black Layer and Algae?
As a Greenkeeper, Groundsman, or other sports turf manager you probably know black layer may develop near the surface, or deeper in the soil. The black layer is visible in the high-sand-content greens due to the light colour of the sand. So, how can you stop black layer?
At Agronomic Services Ltd we know what a problem Black Layer can be for you and your sports turf. The lack of oxygen (drowning) can kill the grass plant roots, and the sulphides can be toxic to roots. Even worse, roots can die sometime before the black layer becomes visible in the soil.
You never need worry about Black Layer and Algae again. By using our products Oxy-Rush and Pervade in unison you can increase the soil oxygen levels, and push any excess moisture through the rootzone.
Remember, algae has also been indicated as the cause of black layer, and is associated with the problem in many cases. The growth of algae is favoured by wet soils which produce substances that interfere with the movement of water through the profile. Algae can contribute to the development of anaerobic conditions. By using Oxy-Rush and Pervade together you can control the growth of algae!
The first indication that this layer is developing is a bad smell, like rotten eggs, from sulphides in the soil. If you are experiencing these symptoms do not delay in contacting us.
