AGRONOMIC PROTOCOL
- • A research trial was conducted in 2021 to evaluate the use of PhysioPower® on St. Augustin (floratam) cultivated for SOD production.
- • The trial was conducted at a high standard commercial St Augustin sod farm in Arcadia, FL.
- • The trial site was harvested for sod in February 2021.
- • A 14 inch swatch was cut leaving grass ribbons about 4 inches in width.
- • Following the February harvest, the trial site was managed for sod growth with a potential harvest at the end of December 2021.
- • In May, 10 ft x 25 ft field plots were established in a East West direction and treatments were replicated 4 times in a randomized complete block design.
- • The left 6 foot of the 10 ft wide plot was sprayed with a back-pack hand boom
- • The spray boom was equipped with 6 Tee Jet 80025VS flat fan nozzle tips spaced 12 inches apart and calibrated to deliver 35 gallons of spray solution per acre.
- • The trial was initiated when the first foliar application was applied on May 28 2021.
- • Each treatment received 5 applications from May to Oct. 2021.
EVALUATIONS
- • SOD growth was evaluated on 24th November 2021.
- • 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 12 inches deep, 3 inches wide, and 0.5 inches thick (12 inches3 or 197 cm3).
- • Four soil cores from each plot were collected from each quadrant of the plot and combined in aggregate.
- • Soil cores were collected from the 14 inch swath of new growth that was produced in February 2021.
- • The combined soil volume of 4 samples was 48 in3 (0.04 ft3) or 788 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 powerful and pure natural active compounds with immuno-activators.
It improves significantly the quality yield and the marketability value of the production,
Physiopower® on top of it improves the efficacy of your fungicides to surrend an healthier crop.
Physiopower® is natural and helps to reduce the chemical residues and therefore is more family friendly and non toxic.

Objectives: To evaluate the use of PHYSIOPOWER® to improve yield and Quality on SOD (St Augustine Floratam grass)
For a better view of the graphs and charts, reposition your mobile device into landscape mode.
CONCLUSIONS OF THE SCIENTIST: PhysioPower® treatment significantly increased the plant dry weight of St. Augustine grass. Roots were increased by 60% and foliage was increased by 30.2%.

Chlorophyll content measured scientifically with high precision device.
Notes:
- • +12.5 % more chlorophyll content with PhysioPower® than the untreated.
- By passing the cursor on the bars of the graph, you will obtain the data value.
TURF LEAF COLOR EVALUATION:
- • Turf leaf color was evaluated by using a Field Scout CM1000 chlorophyll meter.
- • The CM1000 model uses laser technology to calculate a chlorophyll index value of 0 to 999.
- • The index value is calculated from the amount of ambient light available and the ambient light reflected.
- • Chlorophyll readings were taken on November 24 2021 at 11:00AM in full sun when the air temperature was 72F, 10% cloud cover, and solar radiation at 634 w/m2.
- • The light brightness level was recorded at 4 on an index of 0 to 9 using the CM1000.
- • The meter was held about 48 inches from the ground which provides a sample area diameter of 4.7 inch (11.8 cm).
- • Each quadrant within a plot was sampled separately and four measurements were recorded from each quadrant and averaged across all four quadrants for a total of 16 readings per plot
