Nutri-Tek SC
Nutri-Tek SC is a micronutrient and biological package designed to enhance root health and plant development.
Get StartedThe Nutri-Tek SC AdvantageEnhancing Plant Growth and Heath
Nutri-Tek SC is a seed coating designed to enhance the growth and health of turf and forage grasses, as well as legumes. Our formula combines essential micronutrients with beneficial biologicals to boost root health and overall plant development. Integrating both micronutrients and biologicals into the seed coating ensures plants receive the essential nutrients and microbial support they need for optimal growth and health.
Key Benefits
More Uniform Emergence
Enhanced and Accelerated Plant Growth
Greater Root Development and Shoot Length
MicronutrientsPowering Earlier Growth
Micronutrients are crucial for early plant growth, particularly for root development. However, limited soil biology can hinder their availability, and inadequate bacterial populations in the soil can limit a process called chelation that allows micronutrients to be more readily taken up by the plant. By incorporating chelated micronutrients into the seed coating, Nutri-Tek SC ensures immediate access to these essential elements, delivering nutrients precisely where they are needed even in poor soils.
Enhanced Vigor
Micronutrients are essential for chlorophyll production, which gives grass its green color and aids in the plants making their own food from sunlight. Adequate levels of these micronutrients ensure that the plant maintains a vibrant green color and grows vigorously.
Improved Stress Tolerance
Grass fortified with micronutrients is better equipped to handle environmental stressors such as heat, cold, drought, and foot traffic.
Balanced Growth
Micronutrients help regulate the uptake and utilization of other essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. This balance prevents deficiencies that can stunt growth or cause abnormal development. For instance, copper is involved in the formation of enzymes that facilitate nutrient absorption, ensuring that the plant gets the right amount of nutrients for optimal growth.
Long-Term Soil Health
Regular application of micronutrient supplements helps maintain soil pH balance and nutrient availability. This fosters a healthy ecosystem for beneficial microorganisms that aid in nutrient cycling and organic matter decomposition.
BiologicalsEssential Underground Workers
Biologicals enhance nutrient availability and provide disease resistance, essential for seedlings and younger plants. Disturbed soils often lack beneficial soil biology. By adding healthy populations of beneficial bacteria, Nutri-Tek SC allows nutrients to be consistently utilized, supporting robust growth and long-term plant health.
Improved Germination & Seedling Vigor
Biologicals, such as beneficial bacteria and fungi, can enhance seed germination rates and promote stronger, more vigorous seedlings. These microorganisms help break down organic matter in the soil, releasing nutrients that are readily available for the young grass plants. This leads to quicker and more uniform germination, giving plants a head start.
Enhanced Nutrient Uptake
Beneficial microbes in biological treatments form symbiotic relationships with plant roots. For example, biologicals extend the root system, increasing the surface area for water and nutrient absorption. This allows plants to extract nutrients and water more efficiently from the soil, leading to healthier and more robust growth.
Disease and Pest Resistance
Biologicals can provide natural protection against diseases and pests. Certain beneficial bacteria and fungi produce compounds that inhibit the growth of harmful pathogens or outcompete them for resources. This reduces the need for chemical treatments and helps maintain healthier plants.
Soil Health
Biologicals contribute to long-term soil health by promoting beneficial microbial activity, increasing organic matter, and improving nutrient cycling. These microorganisms help decompose organic material, releasing nutrients back into the soil and improving soil structure. This creates a more favorable environment for grass growth and enhances the overall fertility of the soil.
