What are your landscaping goals? What does your dream lawn look like? What pond maintenance problems are you hoping to avoid this year? <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bionetix-international.com\/\"><span class=\"fontstyle0\">Bionetix<\/span><sup><span class=\"fontstyle0\">\u00ae <\/span><\/sup><span class=\"fontstyle0\">International <\/span><\/a><span class=\"fontstyle0\">encourages landscapers and pond specialists to tackle warm season challenges by putting nature to work to help your lawns and ponds thrive!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"fontstyle0\">Enhance Soil Quality<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle2\">Soil health determines lawn performance and resilience. Beyond the main macronutrients (N\u2013P\u2013K), products like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bionetix-international.com\/products\/organic-plus\/\"><span class=\"fontstyle2\">ORGANIC PLUS<\/span><sup><span class=\"fontstyle2\">\u2122 <\/span><\/sup><\/a><span class=\"fontstyle2\">and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bionetix-international.com\/products\/eco-turf\/\"><span class=\"fontstyle2\">ECO-TURF<\/span><sup><span class=\"fontstyle2\">\u2122 <\/span><\/sup><\/a><span class=\"fontstyle2\">add essential minerals and beneficial microbes that release enzymes and organic acids to solubilize nutrients and improve root uptake. Humic substances enhance cation exchange capacity and moisture retention, strengthening drought resistance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"fontstyle0\">Facilitate Oxygen and Water Absorption<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle2\">As the season progresses, dead grass and other organic materials will begin to accumulate, making it difficult for oxygen and water to reach the grass roots. The default solution is usually mechanical dethatching, but an easier alternative is to apply beneficial bacteria and enzymes like those in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bionetix-international.com\/products\/eco-d-thatch\/\"><span class=\"fontstyle2\">ECOD-THATCH<\/span><sup><span class=\"fontstyle2\">\u2122 <\/span><\/sup><\/a><span class=\"fontstyle2\">to naturally break down organic debris and reduce buildup, while creating more nutrient rich humus to nourish the soil.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"fontstyle0\">Improve Water Clarity<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle2\">Ornamental ponds enhance the landscape but easily become nutrient-loaded from runoff and fish waste.

Results typically include clearer water, lower organic load, and stabilized dissolved oxygen after consistent weekly treatment for one month.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"fontstyle0\">Get Ready for Warm Weather<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle2\">As the weather warms up south of the equator, now is the perfect time to start planning a lawncare strategy for the upcoming season. By introducing<br \/>\nbeneficial microorganisms and a balanced range of nutrients, landscapers and pond specialists can improve underlying soil and water conditions to support a healthier, more beautiful nature scape enhanced by nature-based mechanisms. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bionetix-international.com\/contact-us\/\"><span class=\"fontstyle2\">Contact Bionetix<sup><span class=\"fontstyle0\">\u00ae<\/span><\/sup><\/span><span class=\"fontstyle2\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle2\">if you have questions or need more assistance planning your nature-based approach to lawn and pond care this season<\/span><\/a><span class=\"fontstyle2\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em><strong><span class=\"fontstyle3\">Keywords: healthier grass, cleaner ponds, nature based solutions, Southern Hemisphere landscaping tips, Bionetix, how to improve soil quality, how to improve water clarity, how to improve water absorption, dethatching hacks, what is biofertilizer<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong>N<\/strong><strong>eed a High-Resolution Photo?\u00a0 Please Visit: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cortecadvertising.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>www.cortecadvertising.com<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>For a <strong>PDF<\/strong> version please <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cortecvci.com\/whats_new\/announcements\/The-Nature-Based-Path-to-Healthier-Grass-and-Cleaner-Ponds-in-the-Southern-Hemisphere-PR.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;width:100%;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-single sep-solid\" style=\"--awb-height:20px;--awb-amount:20px;border-color:var(--awb-color4);border-top-width:1px;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3 fusion-flex-container nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:2080px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:30px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-2 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\"><h2 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:40;line-height:var(--awb-typography2-line-height);\">Request More Information from Cortec<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><p><!--\n\n<iframe style=\"border: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/info.cortecvci.com\/l\/562712\/2022-10-07\/lnqbpg\" width=\"100%\" height=\"1000\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>  --><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\">\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","solution-category":[69],"class_list":["post-101417","press-release","type-press-release","status-publish","hentry","solution-category-agriculture-and-soil-health"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bionetix-international.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/press-release\/101417","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bionetix-international.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/press-release"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bionetix-international.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/press-release"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bionetix-international.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=101417"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"solution-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bionetix-international.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/solution-category?post=101417"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
