Beyond plant growth, seaweed feeds the microbial community that underpins a healthy green. Polysaccharides like laminarin and fucoidan stimulate beneficial soil microbes, improve aggregation, and enhance nutrient cycling.
Introduction:
Mechanical thatch control is costly, disruptive, and often short-lived. What if you could eliminate the problem biologically — and improve turf performance at the same time?
The BioActive Solution
By combining BioActive Thatch Reduce with BioActive Molturf, you unlock a powerful natural process:
The Result?
✔ Less thatch
✔ Healthier soil
✔ Stronger turf
✔ Better surface performance
Spray It, Don’t Scarify It
Both products are easily mixed and sprayed – no mechanical disruption, no follow-up repair, and no downtime.
And at just £40 per green per application (for Bowls Central Academy Members), this is the most cost-effective, long-term thatch control method available today.

Mycorrhizal fungi and turf health go hand in hand. The symbiotic relationships that exist between our turf grass plants and soil fungi are critical to producing a high performance, perennial grass dominated sward. Here we look at the benefits of mycorrhizal relationships in turf and the techniques greenkeepers can employ to encourage them.
Maintaining a consistently high-performance bowling green is never about one magic product or technique. It’s the result of accumulated marginal gains—careful attention to soil health, organic matter management, air and water movement, and a programme that supports the biology underpinning the entire turf system.
At the heart of this biological approach is a class of products known as biostimulants. One of the most quietly effective formulations in our arsenal is BioActive Formula Green.
Unlike many traditional fertilisers, Hume Pro is designed for rapid breakdown and easy assimilation, ensuring nutrients get to where they’re needed—fast. It’s especially rich in Leonardite-based humic substances, giving you a powerful combination of humic and fulvic acids that improve root zone chemistry and biological activity.
