Turf Fuel takes aim at stress with new product

Target Specialty Products is launching Turf Fuel MITIGATE, a product for turf professionals to condition high-performance turfgrass to tolerate extreme stress.

MITIGATE is designed to protect finely maintained turf from various stress factors during the growing season. Containing 5 percent nitrogen, sea kelp, reacted sugars, and the unique biostimulant group Templar, MITIGATE prepares turf for intense stress.

“Turf Fuel products are developed to serve a specific purpose, provide exceptional performance and offer great value to turf professionals,” Target Specialty Products product development manager Dr. Eric Miltner said. “During university trials, MITIGATE provided enhanced stress tolerance during the hottest times of summer as well as during the coolest and wettest times in winter.”

MITIGATE is the second product in the Turf Fuel portfolio that includes Templar technology. Templar was introduced in 2021 as a component in Infinite and has proved to be a valuable tool for turf managers.

Templar includes two active ingredients: a collection of amino acids and a unique phytochemical, Bio M. These ingredients optimize water use, improve stomatal efficiency, and enhance energy production even under environmental stress. Bio M offers potent antioxidant and stress-fighting properties, enabling turf to excel under UV damage, drought and temperature fluctuations.

“Our product development process is centered around finding solutions for age old challenges our customers have,” Target Specialty Products president David Helt said. “Providing new and innovative products and education, training and background around how our products work and apply in the real world is an important part of our Turf Fuel product launch process.  We will continue introducing new products with the latest technologies available to solve our customers’ problems and offer several options to them.”

Turf Fuel MITIGATE is available in the United States and Canada through local Target Specialty Products sales representatives, or online.
