“Pretty graphs are all well and good within marketing material, but turf managers are becoming increasingly savvy as to what products
they use” what products they use. As Colin pointed out, “If a turf manager can calibrate a sprayer, they should have no problem working out the significance of a ‘p-value’.” Turf managers have known that some things work well for years, though they haven’t always known why. We are now in a situation where we can discern not only that something is happening but we also know how. The entire gene sequence of Thale Cress (Arabidopsis thaliana) has been mapped, this allows us to see what is happening within the plant; to see how it reacts to particular events, e.g. stress in the form of cold, low-light levels, heat or drought. This level of technology is startling and will have a distinct impact upon what we do. One of the products that Dr Colin Fleming is currently looking at is BioMass Sugar; a by-product of the cane sugar industry created in South Africa. Amongst the benefits they will be assessing is the following;
• Increased disease resistance
• Can assist in helping the plant under low-light conditions
• Increased drought resistance
• Shade resistance/shade tolerance
• Increased root depth
• Increased populations of beneficial fungi and bacteria
• Provides a ‘green-up’
• Variation of application rates to suit purpose
• Tank mixable with seaweed • Increases nutrient take-up • Improves soil structure • Assists mycorrhiza
• Balancing of carbon to nitrogen ratio in the soil
• Increase in cold-hardiness and heat stress resistance
• Evidence of thatch reduction
Undertaking such independent trials is an important process, which means turf managers can make decisions based upon evidence. It also allows consumers to compare the merits of one product against another. The application of science will be an increasing function of progressive turf managers, and knowing where to go for good quality information is more important than ever.
