Unlike conventional leonardite-based fulvic products, FulviZyme combines plant-derived fulvic acid with naturally occurring organic acids and bioactive plant compounds.
Effective residue management does more than reduce excess residue on surface. It helps turn this year’s residue into healthier soil and a more uniform start for next year’s crop.
Rather than viewing residue as something to simply manage, TillZyme helps unlock its value by helping start the biological process that turns tough plant material into a resource for the soil.
Corn residue can decompose slowly because lignin gives stalks and leaves their rigid structure. TillZyme™ uses laccase enzyme technology to help accelerate the breakdown of tough crop residue.
After harvest, crop residue is not just leftover stalks and leaves. It is an active biological system that adds nutrients to the soil, increases organic matter, and builds better soil structure for next year. Actively managed residues help create a favorable seedbed for better stands and yield. The enzymes produced by fungi accelerate the process by breaking down tough lignin before naturally occurring soil microbes take over. Learn more here .
Let’s dive into the science of thatch biology and learn all about a unique new product called ThatchZyme which delivers the first sprayable active enzyme proven to manage turfgrass thatch.
With every enzyme-based technology, the value comes from matching the right enzyme to the right target. They are precise tools with a targeted mode of action.
ZymeCO recently joined turf professionals, researchers, and industry partners at the Michigan State University Turfgrass Field Day for a day centered around research, education, and collaboration.
Sprayable ThatchZyme® uses powerful high-redox laccase enzyme technology to break down the lignin barrier in thatch without disrupting play.
Turn residue into opportunity with TillZyme: Residue to Revenue. Nutrients remain tied up in stalks, leaves and stubble until the residue breaks down.
