HYDROTAC is an environmentally safe, specifically formulated highly effective tackifier. Delivered in a highly concentrated form, it is diluted with water, and applied with the seed to the ground, allowing air and sunlight become the curing agents. Hydrotac effectively “glues” the seed to the surface and holds until the germination and root growth occurs. This allows effective hydroseeding to occur after only one application compared with the industry standard for 4-5 applications.

Golf Course Hydroseeding

Hydrotac – the future of golf course hydro seeding

The hydroseeding of a golf course has always been an important, time consuming and costly component of golf course development.
Typically hydroseeding will comprise of a number of different components including: Tackifier – Organic Supplement – Wood Fibre Mulch – Hydropam – Cotton Mulch – Stock Absorb – Fertilizer – High Quality Grass seed

With Hydrotac only grass seed and fertilizer are required!

Hydrotac is completely environmentally safe (non-toxic, non-hazardous, safe and easy to apply) and will result in a decrease of the environmental impact of golf course development as Hydrotac eliminates the need to use other products which according to Audubon international have the following ecological effects:

Pollution of ground water and surface water caused by use of pesticides, fertilizers and other components.
Poor stream water quality due to eroding shorelines
Withdrawal of large quantities of water for irrigation
Degradation or loss of natural areas
Health hazards from chemical handling and applications
Negative impacts of chemical use on “Non-target” wildlife
Unsound turf management driven by increasing and unrealistic golfer expectations and demands.

The case studies conducted proved that the Hydrotac hydroseeding mixture only had to be applied once, not the normal four to six times as was required when Hydrotac was not in use.

Decreases Germination time — Yes the seeds will germinate sooner!

The most exciting and advantageous characteristics of Hydrotac include its ability to effectively hydro seed without expensive additives and its ability to actually “Speed up” the germination process. This was demonstrated at Ernie Els Nondela Drakensberg Golf Estates in South Africa, where the germination of the Kentucky Blue Grass took place 2-3 days sooner than normal!
