Omega | Soil Activator for Lawns
Southland Organics
Omega is our amplified formula of biologically active carbon and organic acids. The added proprietary blend of beneficial bacteria promotes nutrient uptake and builds grass that is resilient to disease and environmental stress.
Benefits of Omega:
- Decreases nutrient runoff
- Provides a natural guard to disease and reduces pathogen influence
- Reduces Zoysia patch and large patch in lawns and fairways
- Increases plant health and development
- Increases nutrient uptake
- Establishes a balanced soil food web
- Provides relief to stressed and shocked root systems when laying new sods and plugs
- Increases soil energy as measured by Cation exchange capacity
- Reduces soil compaction
👉 With these three secret ingredients, plants develop deeper roots, retain water, resist disease and pests and become lush and healthy. Our soil amendments are a vital portion of a well-crafted turf program. Business owners will increase their results and experience less stress with more profits. Homeowners will grow beautiful lawns and gardens with no harmful chemicals.
How Omega Works
When you feed the soil in the presence of stress, like heat and unpredictable rainfall, you energize microorganisms and promote nutrient uptake to maximize the potential of grass. This builds fertile soil that is resilient to environmental changes.
Regardless of lawn type, to build an optimal soil structure, proper carbon levels and activity in the soil's indigenous microbes are essential. Omega contains a safe, natural mixture of these, adding necessary ingredients like humic acid to stimulate plant and root growth rapidly. By unlocking existing nutrients and maximizing uptake from previous applications, Omega promotes a fertile growing environment that makes the most of your other inputs.
Omega also addresses thatch buildup, breaks down other organic matter, aerates soil to continue delivering oxygen and valuable nutrients to the root zone, relieves compacted soil and addresses salt accumulations. Even applying a thin layer of Omega delivers usable food to your lawn to support root growth, soil energy and biological activity.
Omega is designed to boost conventional turf and erosion control programs. We have studied the results of the applications, made tissue samples and monitored the application rates. The results continue to prove that Omega will take your lawns, golf course greens and hydroseeding jobs to the next level.
Our concentrated solutions provide cost effectiveness throughout lawn and garden care. Since our lawn products are typically diluted at a 1:20 product to water ratio, a little goes a long way!
How Omega Impacts Soil Structure
Soil texture is important because it determines the success of plant growth. Poor soils typically have a bad soil texture and may be described as "clumpy soil," but soil activators like Omega can aerate and break up soils like this. Even sandy soil can benefit from soil activators when the soil receives added nutrients that may otherwise leach through easily.
Omega improves soil structure by increasing water retention, aerating the soil and adding plant nutrients. Like many soil activators, it improves poor soils by improving the way soil particles fit together and adding organic matter throughout.
Omega can break up clay soils and free up nutrients to be more available to plant roots. Overall, soil activators improve soil structure in poor soils by adding more living organisms and minerals. Improved soil means that the soil is more loose and "crumbly," but holds together when damp and can sustain plant roots. Omega improves poor soils by addressing their structure.
Humic acid helps improve soil structure by adding new microbes to those already existing in the soil. In addition to lawns, indoor plants, potted plants and gardens can benefit from this improved structure as well.
Q: What is the shelf life?
A: This product has an 18-month shelf life.
Q: Is this product safe for my kids, pets, animals or livestock to be around? Even if animals eat the grass?
A: Absolutely! Our products are all-natural and completely harmless for kids, pets, animals and livestock to be around.
Q: Can I use the product in my current turf program?
A: Yes, our soil amendments are actually designed to amplify your existing program. Our customers rave about how their inputs are just simply better when using our products in conjunction. Get the most out of your fungicides, fertilizers and overall program with a simple addition to your turf nutrition.
Q: I purchased a sprayer quart. Do I have to use all of the product at once?
A: You have to use it all at once. The bacteria will activate and they will start to "bloom." This will produce A LOT of methane in the container, and it will swell and burst. The great thing is that you cannot over apply it. The more concentrated the better!
Q: Should I use Omega with other products?
A: Omega boosts conventional programs or fertilizers. While Omega stands alone as a product, it can be used along with our FertALive humic acid fertilizer for optimum fertilization results.
Homeowners application:
Applying Omega Alone
Apply Omega in the summer, beginning in May through June, depending on where you live.
Southland Organics Sprayer Quart Instructions
If you're using the Southland Organics sprayer quart:
Insert the straw into the black sprayer nozzle. Attach the nozzle to the sprayer quart bottle of Omega. Attach your hose to the sprayer nozzle, and turn on your water. Turn the dial on the sprayer nozzle to "mix," and the sprayer will automatically dilute the product to the proper ratio. Spray in even strokes, saturating your grass with the mixture. A full quart should take about 3 minutes and cover approximately 1,000 square feet.
Using Your Own Sprayer Instructions
If you're using your own sprayer:
Assemble your sprayer as directed by the manufacturer. Pour Omega the reservoir. Turn the dilution dial to one ounce or two tablespoons (depending on which unit is used on your sprayer). Spray in even strokes, saturating your grass with the mixture. A full quart of product will cover approximately 1,000 square feet.
Landscapers
Apply Omega during the summer months.
Always dilute Omega. We recommend a 1:20 product to water ratio. Use all of the diluted mixture within 24 hours.
Dilute and apply 4–12 ounces of Omega per 1,000 square feet of land. Repeat this every 28 days for a total of 3–4 applications.
Golf Courses
Apply Omega during the summer months.
Always dilute Omega. We recommend a 1:20 product to water ratio. Use all of the diluted mixture within 24 hours.
Dilute and apply 10–12 ounces of Omega per 1,000 square feet of land. Repeat this every 28 days for a total of 5 applications.
Hydroseeders
Use Omega in the late spring through fall during hydroseeding projects.
Add 1 gallon of concentrated product per 500 gallons of slurry. Add Omega before adding water so that it can coat the seeds and mulch well in your agitator.
