Reducing Inputs While Enhancing Applications

There’s a way to reduce your inputs while simultaneously enhancing your applications.

Armament® technology makes spray applications more effective, reduces the need for nitrogen inputs, and micropackages such as Micros Plus and Microsync help prevent micronutrient gaps that negatively impact turf health.

Armament Helps Expensive Apps Work Better

When you’re spraying expensive products like fungicides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators, you do not want to have to make additional passes.

Products containing Armament technology have humectant properties, which keep spray applications wetter on the plant leaf for longer. This allows for better foliar uptake, which improves the efficacy of your inputs. In turn, you get more consistent results and reduce your input costs since you’ll be making fewer (or no) follow-up applications.

Armament Improves Nutrient Efficiency

Armament technology provides a “double dip” value that helps reduce the amount of nitrogen you need to apply throughout the year. It can improve uptake from the nutrients you apply by up to 30% and unlock nutrients already in the soil that the plant can’t access on its own.

Plus, when coating urea, Armament technology reduces volatilization by 65% in the first three days. That means big cost savings when granular apps sit without irrigation.

Since the plant uses nutrients more efficiently, you can maintain performance with lower applied nitrogen rates. This helps you save time and money throughout the season.

Micropackages Prevent Micronutrient Gaps

Micronutrients are tied to chlorophyll and color response, enzyme function and recovery, and nutrient use. This makes them very important to turf health, but they’re often overlooked.

Micronutrient deficiencies are a common reason programs become inefficient. When turf shows poor color or other health issues, the mystery deficiency is often addressed by adding more nitrogen or another non-targeted input. What the turf is likely lacking in are micronutrients.

Micropackages, like Micros Plus and Microsync, help keep micronutrients consistently present in the soil. These products shine during key windows like spring green-up, summer stress, and recovery periods by providing a consistent turf response. This helps you avoid unnecessary “guess” applications, which waste money and labor.
