Fiata Stressgard® now available in 10L packs: Fiata Stressgard®, from Envu and distributed by Origin Amenity Solutions, is now available in convenient 10L packs. This allows for more flexible application rates of 15 or 20L/ha, making it easier for turf managers to incorporate into their agronomic programmes.
A recent independent trial by the Sports Turf Research Institute (STRI) confirmed Fiata Stressgard’s ability to improve turf resilience, colour, and quality, even during a six-week drought. The study also showed that Fiata Stressgard® enhances photosynthesis, outperforming both untreated plots and those treated with pigment alone.

Additionally, the research found that combining Fiata Stressgard® with the growth regulator trinexapac-ethyl reduces potential quality issues often associated with trinexapac-ethyl alone. This combination further boosted chlorophyll levels in both drought-stressed and healthy turf, supporting plant health under various conditions.
Notably, the trial demonstrated that during drought conditions, Fiata Stressgard® was a better option than continuing with turf wetting agent programme alone. While turf wetting agents are essential before and after drought, using Fiata Stressgard® before and during dry periods helped maintain turf quality and improved recovery afterward.
Since its UK launch, Fiata Stressgard® has received excellent feedback from turf managers, who report improved turf quality, enhanced colour, and greater stress resilience. Phil Logan, UK Turf Manager at Envu, commented: The new STRI trial results reaffirm the multiple benefits of Fiata Stressgard. Not only does it improve plant health and drought tolerance, but it also complements trinexapac-ethyl applications, making it an excellent addition to any turf management programme.”
Mark De Ath, PPP Team Lead at Origin Amenity Solutions, added, “The research highlights Fiata Stressgard’s role in modern turf management. Its ability to support plant health, particularly in drought conditions, provides a practical and reliable solution for maintaining high-quality playing surfaces.”
Looking ahead, the full launch of Fiata Stressgard® in 2025 will include a webinar, regional seminars, and dedicated support from Origin Amenity Solutions to help turf managers maximise its benefits.
