July 17, 2018Optimize alfalfa cultivation with biostimulants
September 28, 2018In its commitment to maintaining exceptional-quality and environmentally friendly turf, Palomarejos Golf has adopted the use of regenerative microorganisms in the treatment of its courses. This innovative solution not only ensures healthier and more resilient turf but also strengthens the sustainability of its maintenance practices.

A natural and
efficient solution
Thanks to the action of the microorganisms in the bio-stimulant ficosturf®, the turf at Palomarejos Golf receives the nutrients it needs to grow strong and balanced. These natural treatments improve soil structure, promote the development of a healthy microfauna, and contribute to the decomposition of organic matter, ensuring an optimal playing surface.
Testimonial from Javier Fuentes, Head Greenkeeper at Palomarejos Golf
Javier Fuentes, a Forest Engineer specialized in Turf Management from the University of Georgia and Head Greenkeeper at Palomarejos Golf since 2005, has shared his experience using ficosturf® on the greens of this renowned golf course located in Talavera de la Reina (Toledo, Spain).
With over a decade of experience, Javier has explored various microorganism-based solutions to include in his annual maintenance plans. However, he only discovered the innovative technology of our bio-stimulant ficosturf® in April 2028, when his colleague Pedro Flores, Head Greenkeeper at El Cortijo Golf Club, introduced him to its features and the benefits achievable by applying it directly to the greens.

Promising results
with ficosturf®
“The speed and ease of applying this product to the greens at Palomarejos have been key factors in choosing it,” says Javier Fuentes. Although they are still awaiting the completion of the plant’s annual physiological cycle to obtain full results, the partial data so far are highly satisfactory.
Among the most notable effects observed to date, Javier highlights:

Greater resistance to summer stress
Regenerative treatments strengthen roots and improve the turf’s resistance to stress factors such as droughts or heavy traffic.
“In these Castilian lands, summer presents a significant challenge, but we have noticed that turf treated with ficosturf® shows a remarkable improvement in its ability to withstand high temperatures.”

Environmental sustainability
By reducing the need for traditional chemical products, this solution lowers the environmental impact and protects natural resources.

Vibrant greenery and functionality
The treated turf boasts a vibrant green color and uniform density, making it ideal for enjoying top-quality golf.
A commitment
to innovation
The incorporation of these biological technologies places Palomarejos Golf at the forefront of golf course maintenance, standing out as an example of innovation and ecological responsibility within the sector.

Appreciation to
Palomarejos Golf
At Ficosterra, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to Javier Fuentes and the team at Palomarejos Golf for their trust in Ficosterra and its products.
Their choice has not only improved the health of their turf but also contributed to saving time and resources in maintenance, showcasing the positive impact of our sustainable solutions in the world of golf.
