NEW PRODUCT ALERT: TCS AMP-XC™ Liquid Concentrate

HOW DOES THIS PRODUCT BENEFIT TURF & ORNAMENTALS? 

AMP-XC™(L) increases overall root length and root hair density, significantly increasing the plant’s ability to access and transport more nutrients bound in the soil before they are lost (See Graphs s1 and s2). AMP-XC™(L) helps to use macronutrients more efficiently by taking advantage of the plant’s naturally biochemistry (See Graph s3). When used at the prescribed application rates in conjunction with a fertilization program, macronutrient inputs (N-P-K) may be reduced by up to 30% in common turf grasses, which can be a cost savings to you! AMP-XCTM(L) results in better, more well-developed root systems that help turf defend against numerous biotic stresses (i.e. fungal pathogens and herbivory), and abiotic stresses (i.e. heat, drought, salt, and prolonged winters). (See Graph s4)

HOW IS AMP-XC™(L) DIFFERENT FROM AMP-XC™ ON HIGH-CAL LIME/GYPSUM AND FERTILIZER?

Since AMP-XC™(L) is a liquid product, the formulation is not limited to how much material can be tacked to the finite surface of a granule carrier. This means that AMP-XC™(L) can deliver more nutrients into the ground with greater efficiency. NEW AMP-XC™(L) now offers an incredible 7% humic material, comprised mostly of biologically active humic and fulvic acids. Additionally, new AMP-XC™(L) contains a proprietary nutrient transport technology that helps plants transport nutrients to developing tissues much more quickly and effectively.

CHELATED IRON:

Chelated iron (EDTA iron) is a form of soluble iron that is readily available for absorption by plants. Iron is involved in the production of chlorophyll, a pigmented molecule inside the plant cell that makes a plant appear green. An abundance of iron results in a higher rate of chlorophyll production. Severe iron deficiencies in plants leads to chlorosis. 

HUMIC SUBSTANCES:

Humic substances are created by the microbial degradation of biomolecules (lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, lignin) dispersed in the environment after the death of living cells. Humic substances act as all-natural biostimulants; they have a “hormone-like effect” on plant growth and metabolism. In addition to playing other roles in plant nutrient uptake, humic substances have the remarkable ability to chelate (attach and hold) positively charged ions (Mg, Ca, Fe, and other “trace minerals” cations) in the soil. Humic substances then deliver these essential micronutrients to the plant by adsorbing (attaching) to the root hairs so that they may be transported into the plant for use (See Graph s6). Humic substances help aerate compacted soils such as clay, allowing for enhanced water penetration and retention. Soils rich in humics promote vigorous root growth and development. Adding humic substances to sandy soils results in increased water retention and decreased nutrient leaching (See Graph s7).

AMP-XC™(L) BRINGS TONS OF BENEFITS TO APPLICATORS AND THE END USER

Whether you’re a lawn care operator (LCO), a groundskeeper for a golf course/athletic field, or a homeowner, AMP-XC™(L) will keep your turf greener, longer, and fortify your turf to withstand the toughest environmental stresses. LCO customers will be happy to put their name on a yard that maintains its vitality, particularly during the hot summer months when neighboring yards begin to dry out and enter dormancy. LCOs will also benefit from an additional revenue stream while reducing their number of call-backs and increasing overall customer retention. Groundkeepers will experience turf with a bolstered root system that is better able to withstand mechanical agitation and recovers faster from physical damage (golf clubs, cleats, etc.). And, AMP-XC™(L) fits seamlessly into most turf management programs.

If it’s not AMP’d up, it’s not healthy. Make the most out of your Fertilizer Management Program by maximizing nutrient uptake and optimizing plant health. For that lush green appearance all season long, add AMP-XC™ (L) to your application program today!
