Target Specialty Product introduces Nutrifense

Target Specialty Products introduced Nutrifense technology, a proprietary ingredient that will enhance turf quality and performance, especially through periods of stress.

The technology is included in three of Turf Fuel’s foliar products — Element 6, Photo Fuel and Respo Fuel — in addition to other Turf Fuel G golf materials.

“Nutrifense is an umbrella technology that includes the latest plant health components available,” said Mark Jull, head of Turf Fuel products’ division at Target Specialty Products. “Today’s Nutrifense is not the same as last year’s, and the new formula will improve again next year. This is because we are constantly sourcing and testing new ingredients to bring to the formula.”

Turf Fuel worked with academic and independent researchers throughout North America to validate the benefits of the product. According to the company, the results show reduced turf decline from drought, high heat, poor water quality and even prolonged ice coverage.

“We created Nutrifense several years ago and have been enhancing its capabilities ever since,” said Steve Loveday, Turf Fuel nutritional product development manager. “Currently Nutrifense consists of plant extracts sourced from five continents, a plant defense activator, antioxidants and protein precursors.”
