The Soil Biology Pyramid™

Performance Starts Below the Surface.

Activate native biology. Multiply the microbial workforce. Accelerate nutrient cycling. Unlock premium turf performance.

RESULTS NUTRIENT CYCLERS THE WORKFORCE THE FOUNDATION

Above Ground Results

Yield, fortified density, stress tolerance, better quality, and higher profits.

The Nutrient Cyclers

Protozoa, nematodes, and micro-arthropods recycle nutrients and increase availability.

The Workforce

Bacteria, fungi, and actinomycetes drive decomposition, nutrient release, and root interaction.

The Foundation

Carbon, organic matter, and root exudates fuel soil biology and long-term soil productivity.

Why APEX-10 Works

APEX-10 is an advanced biological soil enhancer — a liquid extract of naturally occurring humic and fulvic compounds from a proprietary peat process. It works in three stages, supporting stronger rooting, better soil function, improved moisture performance, and greater turf resilience under stress.

1

Activation

Activates the native soil biology already present in your soil, compost, turf profile, or growing media.

2

Biostimulation

Stimulates microbial activity, reproduction, respiration, and biological processes.

3

Assimilation

Improves the conversion and movement of nutrients into plant-available forms — and ultimately into plant tissue.

Feeds Soil Microbes

The underground workforce that cycles nutrients. Soil Foodweb measured up to 78% increases in fungal biomass and a 667% increase in available soil nitrogen.

Stimulates Plant Metabolism

Higher chlorophyll, faster photosynthesis, accelerated root development. Rutgers measured 18.5% greater height and 39% greater density in newly-seeded plots.

Enhances Soil Structure

Better water retention, stronger nutrient availability, and resilience under drought and heat stress.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the application rate?

Roughly 3 gallons per acre across the growing cycle for sod and most turf production; 3 oz per 1,000 sq ft for golf and sports turf, applied monthly. The 60-acre evaluation covers 60 acres with 180 gallons. We calibrate exact rates during onboarding.

Can I tank-mix APEX-10 with what I'm already using?

Yes — compatible with liquid fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides, and growth regulators. No equipment changes required. Do not mix with herbicides.

Is APEX-10 organic?

Yes. OMRI Listed since 2002 for use in certified organic crop production under the USDA National Organic Program.

How fast will I see results?

University trials show measurable improvements in turf quality, root mass, and chlorophyll within 2–4 weeks of the first application. Full-cycle benefits compound through the growing season.

How is the trial structured?

The 60-acre evaluation runs through the summer/fall window with a result-tracking framework so you can compare APEX-10 against your baseline on real acreage.
