First proven
Thatch Degrading Enzyme
GENERAL INFORMATION
ThatchZyme spray contains a concentrated water-soluble enzyme to aid in the decomposition of organic matter in turf thatch.
APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS
ThatchZyme spray can be applied to golf course turf, sports turf, sod, residential lawns, and garden landscaping. Apply only as directed.
Warm and Cool Season Turf: Mix well before use. Apply 0.4 ounces per 1,000 sq. ft. in 2 gallons of water biweekly or 0.8 ounces per 1,000 sq. ft. in 2 gallons of water monthly. For best results, water ThatchZyme into the thatch layer and apply throughout the growing season.
General Information
Within 12 weeks the thatch layers were significantly reduced in the ThatchZyme treated area (16 tee) versus the control area (4 tee) on 20+ year old bentgrass/poa tees.

How it works
ThatchZyme is the first proven sprayable tool for managing thatch. It harnesses the power of Laccase, a well-researched thatch-degrading enzyme, to accelerate the breakdown of thatch.
Laccase works at the molecular scale by targeting lignin—the tough, slow-to-decompose part of thatch. While soil fungi naturally produce Laccase, its production is suppressed by nitrogen fertilization and other cultural practices leading to concentrations too low to keep pace with the rapid buildup of turfgrass thatch.
ThatchZyme solves this deficiency by supplying an effective dose of this crucial enzyme into the thatch zone. The result? Effective, non-disruptive thatch management that integrates seamlessly into your existing spray programs.
How to use
Spray ThatchZyme monthly at 1 quart per acre during the active growing season and for managing thatch. It harnesses the power of water after application to get the enzymes in contact with the thatch/OM zone.
ThatchZyme is compatible with common liquid fertilizers, surfactants, and soil sprays. We recommend three consecutive monthly applications to begin. The best results are obtained from season-long spray programs. We recommend evaluating performance by performing OM246 soil testing and evaluating visual changes using a flat soil profiler.
"At the end of the day it is what you desire as the Superintendent, this will supplement your practices in achieving your objective when higher organic levels are present. You will have healthier and stronger playing surfaces."
