You can use Vertmax Duo turf pigment as a spray pattern indicator to help with herbicide and fertilizer applications and give more even coverage.
Its broadacre sister is Vertmax pigment.

Vertmax Duo contains the biostimulant salicylic acid, which research shows increases the germination rate, plant health of plants whilst countering disease and stress in plants.

Salicylic acid activates defense responses within a plant, and so enhances turfgrass resistance against turfgrass diseases. This makes it more difficult for fungi to infect the turfgrass.

You can use this novel turf pigment on all turf and in all climatic zones. As a consequence, Gilba Solutions granted a licence in 2023 to Prograss Bio to produce and market this product in the UK and Europe.
