From Bio 800⁺ to Blue Sky 21-0-0 to PB1, all Holganix products contain nutrient enhancers. Nutrient enhancers optimize nutrient efficiency by the plant, allowing the plant to more easily uptake nutrients.

What does that mean for turf professionals? It means fewer nutrients are running off into waterways or becoming locked in the soil, and more nutrients are making it to the plant.

There are several different ingredients in Holganix products that function as nutrient enhancers; here are a few of our favorites.

Kelp is a type of marine algae that contains trace elements of magnesium, potassium, zinc, iron and nitrogen – all of which are important when fostering plant health. Kelp contains plant hormones – specifically cytokinins that enhance the uptake of plant nutrients, promoting seed germination and plant cell division.

Kelp can be found in Holganix Bio 800⁺ Products, PB1 Products, Grow, Flower and Calmag.

Armament^TM Technology is a patented, biodegradable nutrient enhancer that stimulates the uptake of nutrients by the plant, unlocks nutrients in the soil and guards against nutrient chemical changes. Studies of Armament^TM have demonstrated a 20% increase in nutrient utilization.

Armament^TM Technology can be found in Holganix 2-10-20, Grow, Flower, Calmag, PB1 Products.

Humates are carbon-rich soil amendments that are often derived from Leonardite – a type of coal. Examples of humates include humic and fulvic acids. They support respiration of the microorganisms in the soil, enhance seed germination and promote root development. They also help the plant better absorb nutrients and hold nutrients in the root zone longer.

Humic and fulvic acids can be found in Holganix Bio 800⁺ Products and Blue Sky 21-0-0. Humic acid can be found in Holganix PB1 Products,

Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria (PGPB) is a special class of bacteria that occupy the root zone of the plant and have the ability to promote plant growth and plant defenses. Examples of PGPB include nitrogen-fixing bacteria and phosphorus solubilizing bacteria.

Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria can be found in Holganix Bio 800⁺ products, PB1 Products,
