1/28/2008 20TH ANNIVERSARY FOR GROWTH PRODUCTS, LTD. SERVICING THE GREEN INDUSTRY WHITE PLAINS, NY, January 28, 2004 - It is surely an accomplishment for Growth Products, Ltd., to celebrate its' 20th Anniversary. "In 1984 when we first decided to incorporate Growth Products, we had only one product that we just started to develop. In a few short months, but after what added up to many hours of R & D, we had our first liquid slow release fertilizer, based on UF technology. Our family business was deeply involved in insulation technology and adhesives, and had no concept of the market potential in the Green Industry", states Clare Reinbergen, President. Twenty years later, Growth Products liquid fertilizers, chelated micronutrients, organic biostimulants and Biological Fungicides, are found in all market segments of the industry including, Professional Turf, Horticultural and Agriculture. "We certainly have gained good market share domestically with distributors coast -to-coast, but we also export to over fourteen countries in Asia, Europe and most recently South America". "We have focused on liquid technology with the highest quality standards, but have also expanded into Bio-technology, (the first liquid biological fungicides on the market) with the registration of Companion® Biological Fungicide in 2001". Sales Manager, Randy Oberlander, equates the current market potential for Bio control products as "a drop in the bucket", but more and more growers, turf managers and farmers are now asking for bio controls from microbial inoculants. "Companion® keeps up with the chemicals in controlling disease, but unlike chemical pesticides, it offers a slew of other benefits, not only for worker safety, but also improved plant quality", states Randy. For Growth Products, Ltd. 20th Anniversary, a new liquid "PHOSPHITE" product (0-29-26) has been added to its product line. Several new upgraded chelates are on their list and a new IRON MAX AC (15-0-0) 6% Iron plus 2% Manganese, a 100% chelated product which is more than competitively price in the market.

Professional Turf Landscape
9/8/2008 COMPANION® BIOLOGICAL FUNGICIDE RECEIVES NEW EPA LABEL FOR ALL TURF WHITE PLAINS, NY (September 5, 2008) - Companion® Liquid Biological Fungicide (71065-3) received a new EPA label for all turfgrass and landscape use. Manufactured by Growth Products, Ltd., Companion® effectively prevents, controls and suppresses a broad range of root and foliar diseases including Anthracnose, Brown Patch, Dollar Spot, Summer Patch, Fusarium Patch, Pythium and Phytophthora. Companion®'s GB03 strain of Bacillus subtilis has multiple modes of action in preventing and controlling plant diseases. It produces a broad-spectrum antibiotic (Iturin) that disrupts pathogen cell-wall formation. It is a competitive and fast colonizing rhizobacterium that crowds out pathogens preventing their growth and antagonistic effects. In addition, GB03 triggers Induced System Resistance (ISR) in plants, by activating a plant's natural immune system to fight disease. Companion®'s multiple and unique methods of battling pathogens are environmentally friendly and inhibit pathogens' ability to develop resistance to fungicides. Several years of trials at Rutgers and the University of Massachusetts have also shown that Companion® can be used in combination with lower rates of chemical fungicides for improved efficacy and/or in rotation with chemical fungicides, thereby reducing chemical applications and total chemical costs. The Companion® line of products was first introduced to the horticultural market in 2001. With its new label, turf and landscape professionals can now use this powerful biofungicide as part of a sound disease management program. Companion® can be used on all varieties of turfgrass, shrubs and other landscape materials. Companion® has excellent stability and it does not require any special equipment, handling, or storage.
6/10/2008 AMMOS™ 22-0-0 with 40% Smart Nitrogen and Sulfur Is a Cost Effective Solution WHITE PLAINS, NY (June 10, 2008) - Frustrated by ever-rising fertilizer costs? AMMOS™ 22-0-0 may be the answer. AMMOS™ combines the best benefits of slow-release nitrogen with the quick and cost-effective green-up provided by ammoniacal nitrogen and urea nitrogen. Recently released by Growth Products, an industry pioneer in technically advanced liquid fertilizers, AMMOS™ is a clear liquid solution. In addition to nitrogen, it contains 4% sulfur in a neutral to slightly basic pH (7.5 - 8.0). AMMOS's™ ammonium sulfate decomposes quickly when applied to soils, providing immediately available sulfur for turf uptake, while its elemental sulfur provides a longer-term sulfur release. AMMOS™ is ideal for all areas of the country with alkaline soils. Specifically created for golf course fairways, lawn care applications, and sod farms, AMMOS™ provides + pound of nitrogen per 38 ounces. It mixes and applies easily and is compatible with most other fertilizers and pesticides. Derived 100 percent from American raw materials, AMMOS™ is an attractively priced solution for beautiful turf.
4/1/2008 Pro-Formance Ultra™ is the Green Choice for Top Performance WHITE PLAINS, NY (April 1, 2008) Golf course superintendents asked for a superior 18-3-6 fertilizer loaded with soil-friendly organics and just the right amount of chelated minerals, and Growth Products delivered. Last year the company introduced Pro-formance Ultra™, a premium foliar fertilizer designed for high performance greens. Like all of the company's products, Pro-formance Ultra™ is an environmentally friendly product. It feeds not just your turf, but your soil as well. A complete package in a single bottle, Pro-formance Ultra™ not only provides N-P-K in an 18-3-6 analysis, but five essential micronutrients: calcium, chelated iron, manganese, magnesium and zinc. What sets Pro-formance Ultra™ apart from the crowd, however, are its multiple organic ingredients, including humic acid, L-amino acids, kelp extract, yucca extract, and hydrolyzed soy protein - all powerhouses when it comes to plant development and soil improvment. Pro-formance Ultra's™ humic acid is derived from leonardite, a soft coal. Humic acid has well-recognized biostimulant properties, and increases nutrient efficiency and uptake, helps restore humus, improves soil structure, increases soil moisture retention, and enhances soil's natural biological activity. L-amino acids are the building blocks of all living organisms. Plants normally synthesize their own L-amino acids, but during times of stress a plant's ability to photosynthesize and produce L-amino acids is reduced, and plant and root development suffer as a consequence. Application of liquid L-amino acids enhances photosynthesis, stimulates a plant's metabolic activities, increases root mass, helps plants combat stress, encourages healthy plant growth without surges, and increases a soil's cation exchange.
4/29/2007 Repair Plus™ 3-0-3 Restores Damaged Turf and Fixes Divot Damage WHITE PLAINS, NY (April 29, 2007) Divot damage and bare turf areas reduce playability and hurt your bottom line. Growth Products' new Repair Plus™ 3-0-3 now provides golf course superintendents with an effective granular product that speeds turf repair and fixes divot damage in minimal time, with minimal fuss. Introduced in 2007, Repair Plus's™ 3-0-3 analysis is bolstered with 2% iron and an array of biological soil amendments and plant growth stimulants. The four strains of naturally-occurring beneficial bacillus in Repair Plus™ work quickly to colonize the soil and the root zone, where they stimulate root development, fight off soil-born pathogens, and promote healthy top-growth. The product's high concentration of organic humic acid and l-amino acids also accelerate seed germination and rooting, increase nutrient uptake, and improve the soil's cation exchange capacity. The result is divot-repair heaven, and no more ugly bare spots. Repair Plus™ is ideal for building or repairing both warm and cool season grasses. It can be used on tees, greens and fairways, or any place where turf is worn or damaged. The granular formulation saves time and labor for golf course crews, since it easily mixes with sand or other soil media and is safe to handle. Repair Plus™ is also recommended for overseeding or when topdressing following aerification. In both cases, Repair Plus™ will help heal damaged turf roots and encourage desired grass varieties to fill in quickly. As will all fertilizers and soil additives produced by Growth Products, Repair Plus™ is environmentally friendly. It rejuvenates damaged soils with organic materials while providing quick and visible results on turf. With both short-term and long-term benefits, Repair Plus is a win-win.
4/1/2007 Green-Speed Si™ Takes Multi-Pronged Approach to Faster Greens Green-Speed Si™ takes a unique, multi-pronged approach to giving golf course professionals a faster ball roll on their greens. Not simply a silica product, Green-Speed Si™ (0-2-5) is a proprietary liquid formula that combines silica, potassium phosphite, and humic acid to give both a faster ball roll and healthier turf. The silica in Green-Speed Si™ hardens grass blades by strengthening cells wells. It allows for a better cut during mowing, a quicker ball roll, and reduced ball marks. The silica also protects turf during times of stress and high transpiration by reducing water loss. Green Speed Si's™ potassium phosphite and humic acid promote turf health and increase the turf's resistance to disease and pests. Both the phosphite and the humic acid are extremely mobile in the plant tissue, and they hasten uptake of silica and other nutrients into the leaf blade. Unlike granular phosphates that can become bound up in the soil, liquid phosphite is always fully available to turf. Introduced in 2007 by Growth Products, Green-Speed Si™ is environmentally friendly. Designed for use as a foliar spray on all varieties of turf grasses, it can be applied every 2 to 3 weeks during the season for fast, healthy, greens.

With 25% Viterra Gelscape® included, a unique water-control polymer gel, The Landscaper's Companion will improves the soil's ability to absorb and hold water, gradually releasing moisture between waterings. The kelp, yucca and hydrolyzed soy protein in Pro-formance Ultra™ work together with the humic- and L-amino acids to increase foliar absorption of nutrients and to feed the soil. As additional benefits, the natural plant hormones auxin and cytokinin, which are found in kelp, stimulate healthy turf growth, and the saponins in yucca serve as a natural wetting agent. Chemistry aside, the benefits of Pro-formance Ultra™ are clear: advanced foliar uptake, superior absorption, improved soil, and no harmful surge growth on your greens. Designed for weekly use (6 oz. per 1,000 feet for cold season turf; 8 oz. per week for warm season turf), Pro-formance Ultra™ provides ease-of-use and long-lasting adherence to leaf tissue regardless of weather conditions. For superintendents and greens experts who want the benefits of a technologically advanced product from an industry leader in liquid fertilizer, and who also want the benefits of high levels of organics, Growth Product's Pro-formance Ultra (18-3-6) is the sustainable, environmentally friendly choice.
