Suståne Bolster
Liquid Plant Growth Supplement
BOLSTER Liquid Biostimulant from Suståne is one of the best plant growth supplements available today. Custom designed and balanced ingredients minimize stress factors such as drought, adverse temperatures, and poor quality soils. Formulated with 5% Iron + 4% Humic Acid + 2% Solubilized Seaweed (Ascophyllum nodosum).
Virginia Polytechnic Institute in extensive field trials and research has found that BOLSTER is a top performer because it increases root mass and depth, accelerates chlorophyll production, improves moisture retention, reduces wilting and bolsters plant tolerance to certain diseases, insects and nematodes.
Recommended use
BOLSTER Plant Biostimulant is recommended for use on all turf surfaces, to aid in lowering all abiotic stress on the plant throughout the season. Use in conjunction with current nutritional inputs to increase soil and plant health.
Professional grade
Suståne products are derived from biologically stable humus-rich compost and contain both water soluble nitrogen (WSN) and slow release nitrogen (SRN), beneficial microbiology, and all 17 elements essential for plant photosynthesis. With a near-neutral pH, a low salt index and low ammonium nitrogen percentage, Suståne will not cause seedling stress or plant fertilizer “burn”. Suståne products increase soil cation exchange capacity (CEC) by supplying humates and stable organic matter. Suståne’s organic and blended natural fertilizers provide all soil types with additional buffering capacity, allowing for more consistent and productive growth.
