Organic Turf Dethatcher - Lawns & Golf Courses

Organic Turf Dethatcher - BioTreat TD10 is an innovative organic turf dethatcher. Its eco-friendly formulation has been developed to accelerate natural turf thatch decomposition on lawns, gardens, sports fields and golf courses, and to help reduce the frequency of mechanical treatments required.

Thatch creates a number of problems in heavily cultivated turf. When turf grass must be kept both closely mowed and heavily fertilised, thatch rapidly accumulates. The thatch layer, formed by clippings and dead plant material on the soil surface, is an ideal environment for pathogens and pests such as fungi and insects. Additionally, thatch tends to repel water, leading to hydrophobic soil conditions, which in turn adds stress and leads to additional maintenance requirements.

BioTreat TD10, when used in combination with verticutting, aeration, top-dressing and dethatching program accelerates natural thatch decomposition to help reduce the frequency of mechanical treatments. This combination program helps improve soil and turf conditions, and can reduce the long-term need for pesticide applications.

BioTreat TD10 contains an advanced formulation of naturally occurring microbes that "feed" on dead plant tissue. Like any other population, they multiply when there is abundant food. By adding the concentrated microbes in BioTreat TD10, you help nature "keep up" with the rapid accumulation of dead plant material.

BioTreat TD10 comprises a proprietary blend of naturally occurring microbes, enzymes, nutrients and growth stimulants.
