Introducing sprayable thatch control: ThatchZyme®

Phil Dwyer, VP of Sales and Marketing • April 8, 2025

ThatchZyme delivers the only sprayable active enzyme proven to manage turfgrass thatch. It works for you by targeting the hard to degrade parts of thatch and accelerating its breakdown.

HOW IT WORKS


ThatchZyme harnesses the power of Laccase, a well-researched thatch-degrading enzyme, to accelerate the breakdown of thatch. 


Laccase works at the molecular scale by targeting lignin—the tough, slow-to-decompose part of thatch. While soil fungi naturally produce Laccase, its production is suppressed by nitrogen fertilization and other cultural practices leading to concentrations too low to keep pace with the rapid buildup of turfgrass thatch.


ThatchZyme solves this deficiency by supplying an effective dose of this crucial enzyme into the thatch zone.


The result? Effective, non-disruptive thatch management that integrates seamlessly into your existing spray programs.



HOW TO USE


Spray ThatchZyme monthly at 1 quart per acre during the active growing season and for managing thatch. It harnesses the power of water in after application to get the enzymes in contact with the thatch/OM zone.


ThatchZyme is compatible with common liquid fertilizers, surfactants, and soil sprays. We recommend three consecutive monthly applications to begin. The best results are obtained from season-long spray programs. We recommend evaluating performance by performing OM246 soil testing and evaluating visual changes using a flat soil profiler.
