AGRONOMIC PROTOCOL
- • A research trial was conducted in 2020 to evaluate the use of PhysioPower® on Zoysiagrass - Icon, cultivated for SOD production.
- • The trial was conducted at a commercial Zoysia sod farm in Arcadia, FL.
- • The trial site was harvested for sod in January 2020.
- • Following the January harvest, the trial site was managed for sod growth with a potential harvest at the end of September 2020.
- • In June, 15 ft x 25 ft field plots were established in a north south direction and experimental treatments were replicated 4 times in a randomized complete block design.
- • The center 12 ft of the 15 ft wide plot was sprayed with a back-pack hand boom.
- • The spray boom was equipped with Tee Jet 8003VS flat fan nozzle tips spaced 12 inches apart and calibrated to deliver 35 gallons of spray solution per acre.
- • The trial was initiated on June 20 2020 after complete ground cover was observed from the ribbon stripped sod harvest conducted in January 2020.
- • Each treatment received 3 applications on June 20, July 27, and August 28.
EVALUATIONS
- • SOD growth was evaluated on 26 September 2020 and reported in Table 1.
- • Each plot was sampled for plant growth by using a Turf Tec SPS3-S soil profile sampler.
- • The soil probe extracted a profile sample of 8 inches deep, 3 inches wide, and 0.5 inches thick (12 inches3 or 197 cm3).
- • Six soil cores from each plot were collected and combined in aggregate.
- • The combined soil volume of 6 samples was 72 in3 (0.04 ft3) or 1,182 cm3.
- • Soil profile samples were rinsed in water using a screen mesh strainer and then plant material was dried.
- • Plant dry matter was separated by below ground roots and above ground thatch and foliage.
THE PRODUCT: PHYSIOPOWER®
Is a product which contains pure natural active compounds and immuno-activators.
While it is improving the quality yield, It improves the efficacy of the fungicides.
Because Physiopower® is natural and helps to reduce the chemical inputs within modern agricultural practices,
Physiopower® helps to reduce the chemical residues.

Objectives: To evaluate the use of PHYSIOPOWER® to improve yield and Quality on SOD (Zoysia grass)

CONCLUSIONS OF THE SCIENTIST: PhysioPower significantly increased the plant dry weight of Zoysiagrass (Table 1 and 2). There was however no difference in root weight between the untreated check and PhysioPower at 16 oz/A rate. Increasing the PhysioPower rate to 32 oz/A increased root weight by +66.5% compared to the untreated check. A similar trend was also observed with the above ground plant foliage. PhysioPower at 16 oz/A was not statistically different than the untreated check, even though a 40% increase in foliage weight was observed. Increasing the PhysioPower rate to 32 oz/A increased the foliage dry weight by +111%.
DRY WEIGHT COUNT ON ROOTS
Table 1
Dry weight count in Grams
Notes:
- It is important to observe the strong correlation between the dosage (rates) and the efficacy of the product on the grass.
- 16 Oz per acre rate (low rate), there is no significant difference with the control. (+0.6%)
- Whereas at 32 Oz per Acre rate, there is a strong incidence (+66.5%)
- By passing the cursor on the bars of the graph, you will obtain the data value.
DRY WEIGHT COUNT ON FOLIAGE
Table 2
Dry weight count on foliage in Grams
Notes:
- On foliage the difference is even more striking, the correlation between the dosages (rates) and the efficacy of the product is clearly demonstrated.
- +40% at low rate of Physiopower on foliage (16 Oz per acre).
- Whereas +111% of more dry weight on foliage with the high rate of Physiopower at 32 Oz per Acre.
- By passing the cursor on the bars of the graph, you will obtain the data value.
