Origin Amenity enters exclusive partnership with ZymeCo

ZymeCo, the innovators behind a range of novel enzyme technologies, are pleased to have formed an exclusive partnership with Origin Amenity Solutions (OAS) to lead product distribution in the UK and across the EU. In addition to offering ThatchZyme this season, the partnership will grant OAS sole distribution of new enzyme products currently in development, to help turf professionals achieve their agronomic goals.

ThatchZyme is a proven sprayable thatch control that offers a new approach to organic matter control that reduces the reliance on labour intensive and disruptive mechanical operations such as scarification or hollow coring. By targeting the most resistant components of thatch, ThatchZyme’s patented formulation accelerates natural breakdown processes, helping to reduce organic matter accumulations and improve the play performance of fine turf surfaces.

Ideal for golf greens and tees, sports surfaces and sites where disruption needs to be kept to a minimum, ThatchZyme works by harnessing the power of Laccase, a naturally occurring enzyme that breaks down the toughest and most resistant component of thatch – lignin. While soil biology naturally produces this enzyme, modern turf practices, particularly nitrogen inputs, can limit its activity. ThatchZyme supplements this by delivering an effective dose directly into the thatch layer, accelerating its breakdown through natural biological pathways – working in conjunction with existing spray programmes.

In extensive field trials, ThatchZyme demonstrated a 15.8% reduction in organic matter accumulations compared to untreated turf across multiple sites. Treated areas showed stable or reduced thatch levels and a visible reduction in thatch layers within a single season. In controlled studies, it has also shown a 21% increase in root length in creeping bentgrass.

“We’re delighted to start an exciting new partnership between ZymeCo and OAS which focuses on offering innovative, data driven products to the UK and European markets” comments Nutrition & Speciality Products Manager for OAS Jamie Lees. “The first step is to introduce ThatchZyme into the UK turf industry which provides turf managers with a tried and tested solution in organic matter management. We believe ThatchZyme will provide a vital tool in following an integrated approach to reduce thatch accumulation, whilst improving both soil health and playing surfaces, but more importantly backed by extensive research and data.”

Those wishing to learn more about ThatchZyme can do so in a free webinar, taking place on Tuesday 19^th May. To register to attend, or for more information, visit originamenity.com/thatchzyme

ICL Expands H2Pro TriSmart Range

ICL Expands H2Pro TriSmart Range

ICL Turf & Landscape UK & Ireland has introduced H2Pro TriSmart Granules and H2Pro TriSmart Tablets, extending its TriSmart surfactant technology beyond liquid applications.

ICL Expands H2Pro TriSmart Range

The new formulations provide turf managers and landscapers with additional options for managing localised dry patch and improving water distribution in turf surfaces.

Both products are based on ICL’s TriSmart triple-action surfactant technology, designed to help water spread more evenly, penetrate the soil profile and be retained for longer.

This supports more consistent moisture levels, slows the rate of dry-down and aids faster rewetting in affected areas.

H2Pro TriSmart Granules offer a new delivery method for surfactant technology through a patent-pending polyhalite mini-granule carrier, developed by ICL’s research and development team at AmegA Sciences.

The compacted granule incorporates the surfactant within a polyhalite-based core, allowing for accurate and consistent application from a stable, free-flowing product.

In addition to delivering the surfactant, the polyhalite carrier provides background levels of potassium, calcium and magnesium, with the surfactant aiding their movement into the soil. The granules are designed to withstand handling and spreading, while breaking down effectively once wetted to release the active ingredients.

Field trials conducted in the UK, Spain and Australia have demonstrated increased rootzone moisture content compared to untreated areas following dry-down and rewetting cycles. These improvements were supported by observed gains in turf colour and overall surface quality.

H2Pro TriSmart Tablets introduce a hose-end application method, offering a practical solution for targeted treatment without the need for spray equipment. Designed to disperse during normal hand watering over a 20 to 30-minute period, the tablets enable efficient delivery of the surfactant to localised dry areas. This makes them particularly suitable for use on greens, surrounds, lawns and landscape areas where precision application is required.

ICL Expands H2Pro TriSmart Range

Aimee Davey, Marketing Communications Manager for ICL Turf & Landscape UK & Ireland said: “The addition of granule and tablet formats gives turf managers greater flexibility in how they apply TriSmart technology. These options allow for more targeted management of dry patch, particularly in areas where liquid applications may not be practical.”

H2Pro TriSmart Granules and Tablets can be integrated alongside existing TriSmart liquid programmes, enabling users to select the most appropriate application method for different conditions and site requirements. Both products are recommended for use from March to October on turf and landscape areas prone to moisture stress.

ICL continues to expand its range of turf management solutions to support efficient water use and consistent playing surfaces across the UK and Ireland.
