To Obtain Higher Quantity,

You Must Reduce Fertilizer

To Obtain Highest Quality,

You Must Eliminate Fertilizer

".... results are undeniable. We had bought a house that had a

pool removed and the fill had sunk in around the center of the yard. We contracted a company to drop 18 truckloads of clean topsoil… It turns out that that finely sifted topsoil was crushed clay! The following spring we could not get grass started well in the yard even with meticulous care. We had gotten some grass to grow but it was really fighting to drop roots through the soil that you couldn't hammer a nail into. It was very patchy to say the least. Within 3 weeks the results with SumaGrow Turf were noticeable by everyone. Now it is 5 weeks and the lawn is very green and healthy looking. ..... I tell everyone about your product. It is less expensive than using standard fertilizer. You don't have to worry about burning your lawn. And the fact that there is no fertilizer to wash off and kill fish in our river, bay, and oceans. All positives and no negatives. We can do something good for the environment without compromising on performance nor paying through the nose!

When using ReeCourse Greens Formula or

ReeCourse Fairways Formula, with SumaGrow

inside, you MUST reduce fertilizer by at least

50%. For almost all golf courses, at least an

80% reduction in fertilizer is recommended.

Fertilizer savings from using ReeCourse should

cut your fertilizer bill in half!

REEPLACING FERTILIZER

SAVES MONEY

REEDUCEWATER USAGE

Products containing SumaGrow have

repeatedly demonstrated the ability to

grow with reduced amounts of water --

even during droughts

You should be able to ReeDuce your

irrigation water bills by 20+% when using

ReeCourse products

NO FERTILIZER RUN OFF

Eliminate fertilizer and

you eliminate run off

If ReeCourse products run off,

they actually bio remediate the water

GREENER GRASS

Michigan State University obtained 30+%

higher chlorophyll levels with SumaGrow

than comparables grown with fertilizer

Grass stays greener well into the Fall

In addition to the SumaGrow ingredient

formulation, ReeCourse products also

contain thatch eating microbes

FEWER DIVOTS/FASTER REGROWTH

Massive root growth

results in fewer deep

divots and reduced

divot recovery time.

This picture shows a

ReeCourse treated

island green which

split, revealing roots

2 - 2 ½ feet deep.

An independent PhD has verified grasses

grown with ReeCourse products have

higher brix levels

Higher brix levels result in fewer pest

problems

Higher brix levels result in fewer plant

diseases

HIGHER BRIX

STILL MORE BENEFITS

Reduce infestations of nematodes and grubs

Faster and higher germination rates on new

grass

Increase water retention

Reduce stresses of drought

Better grass growth in shady areas

EASY APPLICATION

Highly concentrated liquid products can be mixed with

any amount of water and sprayed on

The products can be applied through the irrigation

system, or co-applied with fertilizers or pesticides (except

fungicides)

Apply product once per month for greens and every other

month for fairways, which saves labor costs compared to

conventional fertilizer treatments

OMRI LISTED

ReeCourse Fairways Formula and

ReeCourse Greens Formula are listed as

approved for all types of organic

production

REEVERSE POA

Another product from ReeCourse is ReeVerse Poa

which reverses the poa annua invasion process. It

stimulates bent and Bermuda grasses while

simultaneously weakening the undesirable poa so

successfully that the poa is overcome without any

noticeable brown spots.

It is effective, green and inexpensive

BOTTOM LINE

ReeCourse products provide a

major reduction in operating

costs which increases the

bottom line!

ReeCourse products are better for you

And better for the environment!

Why is SumaGrow Better than others?

1. 7+ Microbes compared to typically one

“Excalibre is a unique soybean seed treatment that

contains a proprietary blend of three strains of yield-

enhancing Bradyrhizobia bacteria. It has been

developed and proven effective by the best scientists in

soybean inoculant genetics. This new patent-pending

technology is a first in agriculture.”

2. 5 functions compared to typically oneThe world’s first multi-action inoculant

TagTeam is composed of two microorganisms – a

naturally-occurring soil fungus Penicillium bilaii for

better use of soil and fertilizer phosphate and a

superior Rhizobium bacteria species for nitrogen

fixation.

3. High Concentration (trade secret) 10 to the 9th

4. Ease of Use – store at room temperature, one formula fits all, cannot do harm, co-apply

5. Cost effective and actually works!
