Introduction
For those wishing to enhance the grounds of football pitches, OGT's AlgaeGreen marine concentrate has become a first choice. The natural seaweed liquid extract works as a soil conditioner allowing it to fight disease and fungal infections. This in turn relieves the grass of environmental stress and so develops stronger healthier roots. AlgaeGreen also contains plant hormones that stimulate the biological defences of the grass. The conditioner is suitable for use all year round and can also be tank mixed with other desired products to provide an ideal mixture for healthy green ups, lush greens, fairways and tee boxes. Having been extensively tested by Dr Colin Fleming of Queens University, Belfast this seaweed conditioner has also shown positive results in the reduction off nematode damage. These trials have established that the application of AlgaeGreen can improve grass quality where both endoparasitic and ectoparasitic nematodes are present. The product is currently used at various golf courses throughout Ireland and beyond including Old Head (Kinsale), Ballybunion, The Heritage (Portlaoise), the K Club, Cruden Bay and Loch Lomond (Scotland), El Dorado Club (Mexico) and the Valley Club (San Diego). Demand for the liquid also sees it exported to the UK, America, France, Switzerland and Mexico. OGT's AlgaeGreen solid has also found much success within this market. When added to the ground this product takes up to six months to break down allowing for a slow release tonic perfect for the development of stronger grass roots and an overall healthier plant. Such benefits originate at production stage where the solid is produced using a low temperature drying process to accelerate a higher nutrient growth. Acting as a thorough stimulant AlgaeGreen solid is also widely used on the fairways, greens and tee boxes of many leading golf courses.
Analysis
OGT has developed a complete Quality Analysis scheme in order to assess the natural variations of some of the compounds of the raw material, Ascophyllum nodosum. This scheme includes complete analyses on a regular basis of the key compounds by a GLP accredited independant laboratory.
For some of the more specific compounds requiring adapted analytical expertise, OGT is securing agreements with the relevant research groups or private companies in order to carry out these analyses on a regular basis.
In light of these small variations, OGT is then able to adapt the production process to ensure a reasonable continuity on the AlgaeGreen range of products.
Batch representative analytical results are available on demand from the staff at OGT.
