Sumastem
Sumastem’s surfactant technology works to lower the surface tension of applied water and improve the wettability of the root-zone, driving water to spread horizontally before moving uniformly downward. This action is beneficial for irrigation water efficiency and optimising nutrition and efficacy of chemical treatments.
Better balanced rootzone air-to-water ratio
Continued rootmass viability through summer
Reduced plant moisture stress
Sustained plant health, colour and performance
Application rate: 20 lts/ha. Ideal follow on from Rocastem or Rhizostem programs
Dilution: 1:30+ litres water
Recommended Period of Use:
Spring to Summer
Even root-zone moisture absorption

Extended soil moisture retention
Sumastem creates a continuous water film that lasts longer across all soil particles. The water film created around each soil particle holds the enzymes, amino acids and humic acids contained in the Sumastem formulation, boosting plant nutrient uptake and stress related capability.
Sustained plant health, colour and performance
Sumastem’s ability to deliver soil water uniformity and extend soil moisture retention is a great foundation for improved turf performance. This is just the beginning as Sumastem also delivers enzymes, amino acids and humic acids right to where the plant needs it, attached to soil particles. The result is increased root mass, leaf photosynthesis and plant growth so turf can rally after drought and avoid heat stress damage.
