ICT Organics Releases New Turf, Tree Products

Columbia, Md.-based ICT Organics released four new products in its turf and tree line.

“There has been a tremendous demand for products in these areas”, said Bill Skerrett, President of ICT Organics.

“Our line has been an instant success, these additional products have been developed due to customer demand.”

The new products, in the 1 2 3 Instant Compost Tea line, include:

• 1 2 3 Myco Tea – A fungally dominant compost tea, the product is effective at increasing fungal numbers in the soil.
• 1 2 3 Hydro-Seed – This grass seed inoculant provides the bacteria, fungi and nutrients to protect the seed, enhance germination and increase plant health throughout its life.
• 1 2 3 NPP (Natural Plant Protection) – 1 2 3 NPP is a naturally occurring multilink chain polymer that protects turf and plants by thickening cell wall lining, increased soil water holding capacity, enhances activity of anti-pathogenic bacteria/fungi, contains a protein to increase biological activity in the soil.
• 1 2 3 Tree – This is an inoculum of proven ecto mycorrhizae with plant growth promoting rhizobacteria in a rich mix of organic nutrients. The inoculum is ideal for transplanting trees. It allows protection from pathogens, increased drought stress tolerance, improved uptake of macro and micro nutrients.

“We are very excited about these new product,” Skerrett says. “As you can see we have had inputs from several different sides of the industry and ICT Organics has responded quickly.

“The watershed associations need a product to reduce losses from transplanting trees, the companies out stabilizing the soil need better germination rates and long term health of turf, the organic lawn care industry has asked for a fungally dominated tea.”
