Sumastem

 

Sumastem’s surfactant technology works to lower the surface tension of applied water and improve the wettability of the root-zone, driving water to spread horizontally before moving uniformly downward. This action is beneficial for irrigation water efficiency and optimising nutrition and efficacy of chemical treatments.


  • Better balanced rootzone air-to-water ratio

  • Continued rootmass viability through summer

  • Reduced plant moisture stress

  • Sustained plant health, colour and performance

Application rate: 20 lts/ha. Ideal follow on from Rocastem or Rhizostem programs
Dilution: 1:30+ litres water

Recommended Period of Use:
Spring to Summer


Even root-zone moisture absorption

Sumastem’s surfactant technology works to lower the surface tension of applied water and improve the wettability of the root-zone, driving water to spread horizontally before moving uniformly downward. This action is beneficial for irrigation water efficiency and optimising nutrition and efficacy of chemical treatments.

 
 

Extended soil moisture retention

Sumastem creates a continuous water film that lasts longer across all soil particles. The water film created around each soil particle holds the enzymes, amino acids and humic acids contained in the Sumastem formulation, boosting plant nutrient uptake and stress related capability.

 
 

Sustained plant health, colour and performance

Sumastem’s ability to deliver soil water uniformity and extend soil moisture retention is a great foundation for improved turf performance. This is just the beginning as Sumastem also delivers enzymes, amino acids and humic acids right to where the plant needs it, attached to soil particles. The result is increased root mass, leaf photosynthesis and plant growth so turf can rally after drought and avoid heat stress damage.
