Geoponics is a company that can provide all of this to our clients," said Agri-Turf Distributing President Rich Records. Agri-Turf Distributing LLC, based out of Santa Fe Springs, Calif., serves the golf course, vegetation management, pest control, as well as turf and ornamental industries. Geoponics is an environmentally friendly company based in Naples, Fla. serving markets throughout the world with sustainable product alternatives for the turf, lawn, landscape and aquatic industries.
"Water management and water conservation are key aspects to turf management and particularly in many areas throughout California.  We're excited to help California turf managers and golf course superintendents use each of Geoponics products to do more with less, " said Brad Driggers, of Geoponics.
Agri-Turf Distributing, founded by industry veterans who have served respective markets in California for more than 35 years, came together in 2013. Agri-Turf continues to expand its product line with the latest technology, products and equipment. "It was an obvious fit for us to add Geoponics full line of products to our offerings," said Agri-Turf Golf Business Manager Steve Plummer. Agri-Turf now provides Geoponics' Endurant turf colorants; Soil Glue for bunker and soil stabilization; soil surfactants, including Penterra, the fast-acting soil surfactant, as well as Profasorb, Humawet, Agriox and others.
“Agriox is among the innovative products that attracted us to the product line,” said Plummer.
Agriox is a revolutionary time released aerobic aeration conditioning product for soil and soil moisture, providing critical life sustaining oxygen to microorganisms. (Learn more about Agriox in this recent online article.)
"Agriox breathes life into the soil. Agriox increases oxygen uptake, getting the nutrients and any fertilizers that are locked in the soil to be released, causing a pop in color and health. When applied regularly, Agriox is preventative health and is often used monthly to avoid the need for chemicals, algaecides and black layer removal," said Driggers.
Geoponics is equally enthusiastic about the strategic partnership with Agri-Turf becoming the newest West Coast distributor. "As the calling to use more sustainable methods economically and environmentally continues to expand across the globe, so too does the calling for Geoponics products, including Endurant turf colorants and our uniquely effective, concentrated soil surfactants. We are pleased to partner with such a knowledgeable group of people that make up Agri-Turf, who can share with California turf growers and landscape managers the most innovative ways to be environmental stewards, while also growing the healthiest, best looking turfgrass in the world," said Driggers.
