THATCH BUILD UP IN TURF CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS
Thatch creates a number of problems in cultivated turf. When turf grass is kept closely mowed and heavily fertilized, thatch rapidly accumulates. The thatch layer, formed by clippings and dead plant material on the soil surface, is an ideal environment for pathogens and pests such as fungi and insects. Additionally, thatch tends to repel water, leading to hydrophobic soil conditions, which in turn adds stress and leads to additional maintenance requirements.

WHY MECHANICAL DETHATCHING ALONE MAY NOT WORK
Dethatching and aerating machines cut through and disturb the thatch layer, allowing water and oxygen penetration. But thatch is often produced faster than normal decomposition and machines can remove it. The result is a recurring problem that requires repeated temporary treatments; labor costs increase and associated problems persist.
STAY AHEAD OF THATCH BUILD UP
Used in combination with your verticutting, aeration and topdressing program, Organica Natural Dethatcher accelerates natural thatch decomposition and will reduce the frequency of mechanical treatments. This combination program helps improve soil and turf conditions and may reduce the need for some associated pesticide applications.
WHY NATURAL DETHATCH
Organica Natural Dethatcher contains an advanced formulation of naturally occurring microbes that feed on dead plant tissue. Like any other population, they multiply when there is abundant food (thatch). By adding the concentrated microbes in Organica Natural Dethatcher, you help nature keep up with the accumulation of dead plant material. Repeated application establishes a thriving community of thatch eating microbes that help keep you ahead of thatch related maintenance problems.
