As turf managers across the sporting world work to recover from a challenging winter, one product has emerged as a game-changer in the industry. Suståne’s Bolster Liquid Biostimulant is proving to be a vital tool in maintaining healthy and vibrant playing surfaces.
With a unique blend of ingredients including Iron Chelate, Humic Acid, and Seaweed Extract, Bolster is designed to combat the effects of poor soil quality, extreme temperatures, nematodes, and drought. Research conducted by the Virginia Polytechnic Institute has shown that Bolster significantly increases root mass and depth, accelerates chlorophyll production, improves moisture retention, and enhances the plant’s natural resistance to diseases and pests.
One notable success story comes from Brighton & Hove Golf Club in East Sussex, where Course Manager Jason Sarna has been using Bolster for the past seven years. According to Jason, Bolster has become a crucial part of their maintenance routine, helping the turf withstand various stressors and promoting overall plant health.
“We use the Bolster Liquid as part of our root drench application mixed with either wetting agent or aminos, for increased soil and plant health,” says Jason. “Since implementing Bolster as part of our nutritional program, we have noticed a definite increase in plant health and rooting, and the color response after application is a fantastic added bonus!”
For turf managers looking to incorporate Bolster into their maintenance program, the recommended application rate is 9.46L per Ha monthly. Whether applied as a foliar spray or root drench, Bolster has proven to be a versatile and effective solution for maintaining healthy and resilient playing surfaces.
