Bionema Group, renowned for its innovation, has unveiled its latest advancement in plant health solutions: the Soil-Jet® BSP100. This cutting-edge biodegradable surfactant has been specifically engineered for the sports and turf industry, setting a new standard in eco-friendly plant care. Soil-Jet® BSP100 enhances soil and turf management by improving water infiltration and nutrient uptake while being environmentally responsible. This product not only aligns with sustainable practices but also delivers exceptional performance, reflecting Bionema Group’s commitment to pioneering solutions that support both plant health and environmental stewardship.
Soil-Jet® BSP100 is designed to optimize water and nutrient use, significantly reducing soil water repellence and accelerating water penetration. This advanced biodegradable surfactant helps maintain consistent moisture levels, thereby enhancing turf health and overall quality. It can be easily applied using conventional spraying equipment and is compatible with both nutrients and beneficial microorganisms, boosting their efficacy. Available in various packaging sizes, Soil-Jet® BSP100 supports sustainable soil management practices and contributes to improved yield quality, making it an ideal solution for enhancing turf care in the sports and turf industry.
Field trials conducted on golf courses, racecourses, football pitches, cricket pitches, and various landscapes across the UK, Ireland, Canada, India, and LATAM countries have demonstrated a 20-30% improvement in nutrient uptake with the use of BioNFix®. This enhancement is particularly significant for nitrogen-fixing products, which, when combined with surfactants, optimize water and nutrient use. These trials highlight the effectiveness of surfactants in reducing soil water repellence, improving water penetration and distribution, and maintaining moisture levels, leading to healthier, more robust turf.
The application of surfactants has proven to be especially beneficial on golf courses, racecourses, and football pitches, where they enhance the efficiency of water and nutrient use. By reducing soil water repellence and improving moisture retention, these products increase nutrient availability and overall turf health. This results in better playing conditions and a decrease in maintenance costs, as the optimized use of water and fertilizers contributes to more sustainable and cost-effective turf management.
Dr. Minshad Ansari, CEO and founder of Bionema, highlighted the transformative impact of Soil-Jet® BSP100 on sports and turf management. He described the product as a revolutionary advancement that optimizes water and nutrient use, addresses soil water repellence, and supports vigorous turf growth. This innovation aligns with Bionema’s commitment to sustainable turf management by utilizing natural microbial solutions to minimize reliance on pesticides and synthetic fertilizers, ultimately fostering healthier soil and promoting eco-friendly practices.
