Question 1

What is ProPeat?

Accepted Answer

ProPeat® is a peat-based fertilizer that uses natural carbon-rich organic material instead of plastic coatings to deliver nutrients. Every granule is homogeneous — meaning each one contains the full nutrient analysis — ensuring even distribution on greens, fairways, and roughs.

Question 2

What makes ProPeat different for turf management?

Accepted Answer

ProPeat binds nutrients to natural carbon from sphagnum peat moss instead of using plastic-coated urea. This eliminates plastic residue from your turf system, provides more consistent nutrient delivery, and releases naturally for up to 90 days. University of Florida trials showed ProPeat maintaining turf quality comparable to industry-standard slow-release products.

Question 3

How quickly will I see turf response?

Accepted Answer

Most superintendents see visible improvement in turf quality and color within 2-4 weeks. In University of Florida 2014 field trials, ProPeat outperformed standard urea, sulfur-coated urea, and Polyon in visual color and quality for over 6 weeks, providing an immediate greening response.

Question 4

Which nutrient blends are best for greens and fairways?

Accepted Answer

17-0-4 is ideal for nitrogen-forward applications without phosphorus runoff. 10-0-10 provides balanced maintenance. 13-5-8 delivers comprehensive nutrition with phosphorus for establishment areas. 7-4-14 SOP offers high potassium for stress tolerance. N-Less Green provides color enhancement without nitrogen. All blends are available in fairway-grade formulations.

Question 5

Where can ProPeat be applied on a golf course?

Accepted Answer

ProPeat is suitable for greens, tees, fairways, roughs, and landscaped areas. The application rate is 200 lbs per acre (approximately 4.6 lbs per 1,000 sq. ft.). Apply to dry turf and water in with at least 0.2 inches of irrigation to disperse the granules.

Question 6

Is ProPeat environmentally responsible for course use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ProPeat contains zero plastic coatings, reducing microplastic contamination. It meets strict environmental regulations including Wisconsin's nutrient management requirements. The peat-based delivery system naturally binds nutrients and reduces leaching — critical for courses near waterways and sensitive ecosystems.

Question 7

Does ProPeat contain any plastic-coated fertilizers?

Accepted Answer

No. ProPeat avoids plastic-coated fertilizer technologies entirely. Instead, it uses sphagnum peat moss as a natural carrier. This is a core advantage for courses operating under environmental regulations that restrict or penalize plastic-containing fertilizer products.

Question 8

How often should ProPeat be applied across turf areas?

Accepted Answer

Standard recommendation is three applications per season — spring, early summer, and fall — at 200 lbs per acre. However, application frequency and blend selection can be customized based on your course conditions, grass types, and maintenance budget. Contact us for a tailored program.

Question 9

Can ProPeat perform in heat and drought conditions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The peat-based formula helps retain soil moisture and supports resilient growth through variable weather. BYU 2015 research confirmed ProPeat maintains turf health and aesthetics without causing excessive vertical growth, meaning reduced mowing even during stress periods. The lower burn risk compared to traditional products is especially valuable during summer stress.

Question 10

Will ProPeat improve thin or high-traffic turf?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ProPeat promotes stronger root systems, increased horizontal growth, and denser turf with less disease. University of Florida 2015 trials demonstrated that just 0.6 lbs of Nitrogen from ProPeat produced a turf response similar to 2.0 lbs from other products — meaning you can achieve better turf health with lower nitrogen inputs.
