- Pathogen Defense


Defense Signaling: Mycorrhizal fungi and our proprietary selected microorganisms activate the plant's internal defense mechanisms by triggering signals that stimulate the production of defense compounds, like phytoalexins and enzymes, that help the plant fend off pathogens. Competing with Pathogens: Our proprietary beneficial microorganisms outcompete harmful pathogens for resources in the root zone (rhizosphere). By colonizing the root space more efficiently, they deny harmful bacteria and fungi the chance to establish themselves and cause disease. Some microbes also produce antimicrobial compounds that actively inhibit the growth of harmful organisms. Reduced Chemical Dependency: Using natural biological inputs reduces the need for synthetic chemical fungicides or pesticides. In summary, Shield creates a beneficial microenvironment around the plant's roots, which not only enhances nutrient uptake and growth but also acts as a natural shield against pathogens, improving the plant's overall resistance to diseases.

 Recognition®


herbicide Experience powerful performance and unparalleled turf safety with Recognition® herbicide from


Syngenta. Recognition controls more than 40 weeds including all major sedges, dollarweed, and clover in warm-season grasses. Plus, by tank mixing Recognition with Fusilade®


II herbicide, it’s now


possible to remove bermudagrass from zoysiagrass and St. Augustinegrass without turf injury. This is possible because the safener in Recognition, metcamifen, triggers specific grass species to tolerate certain herbicides, like Fusilade II, without impacting its activity on weed species like bermudagrass. This combination also controls additional weeds including Poa annua, goosegrass, and dallisgrass. Recognition also safens tank mixes with Turflon®


Ester Ultra specialty herbicide to provide faster,


broader-spectrum weed control in St. Augustinegrass and zoysiagrass –with just one application for some broadleaf weeds, including dollarweed. Learn more at GreenCastOnline.com/Recognition.
