Envu’s Resilia root health solution now available for purchase

Envu‘s Resilia root health solution is now available for purchase in registered states.

According to the company, Resilia protects roots from destructive soilborne pathogens for up to 21 days and most up to 28 days, allowing the opportunity for a more robust root system.

“Resilia root health solution is the only product that offers simultaneous control of patch diseases, Pythium diseases and suppression of pathogenic nematodes,” said Jesse Benelli, Ph.D., Green Solutions Team specialist at Envu. “The solution is not meant to be a total replacement for other products, but it can integrate seamlessly into any program as a preventative maintenance application.”

The solution controls major root diseases in both cool-season and warm-season turf, according to Envu, allowing roots to stay healthy and reach their full potential.

We caught up with Benelli at the 2023 GCSAA Conference and Trade Show to talk more about Resilia and the research behind it.

“Starting the season strong with a product such as Resilia root health solution is crucial to getting ahead of the many issues that can cause turf to decline,” said Dr. Jim Kerns, professor and extension specialist of turfgrass pathology for North Carolina State University. “We have seen this firsthand with our trials on creeping bentgrass this summer.

“The results we observed with Resilia root health solution in our spring dead spot trials were shocking,” said Dr. Kerns. “It provided excellent control.”

The company adds that Resilia works well in conjunction with its Stressgard fungicides, to improve plant health both above and below ground.
