​
and of course introduced the following into the Australian marketplace but only after vigorous product field testing (with plenty more to follow)

Research into turf quality and soil moisture levels after usage of soil wetting agents on a mixes Poa/Agrostis green
Just how much more targeted are localised weather stations vs BOM data in regard to GDD models?
Organic/biological inputs Trial
​
This was carried out over 2019/2010 examining the impact on organic and biological amendments on a mixed Poa annua/creeping bentgrass green
Turf pigments and their longevity
​
Vertmax was trialled on a Poa Anna/agrostis green to examine its longevity
Vertmax Duo Turf pigment vs competitors
​
Vertmax was trialled on a Poa Anna/agrostis green to examine its performance
Granular silica Trials
​
This was carried out at ANZ Stadium to examine the longevity of granular applications on turf. The results were interesting showing a significant increase in Plant Available Silicon and Potassium levels in the soil and the plant tissue. ​
​
Liquid silica Trials
​
This was carried out at Bonnie Doon G.C to examine the impact of liquid silica applications on green speed. The results were interesting with a significant increase in greens speed 10 days after application at the 7.5L rate.
