Why Now is the Time for EcoAdvance® Premium Biology on Your Turf 

24 September, 2025

 

Spring is the perfect time to set your turf up for a strong summer ahead.

As soil temperatures rise and turf breaks winter dormancy, roots become active and ready to take up nutrients. With EcoAdvance® Premium Biology, you’re not just fertilising—you’re building a healthier, more sustainable turf ecosystem from the ground up.

The EcoAdvance® Biology Advantage

EcoAdvance® Biology, included in Matchplay granular fertilisers such as MP ORIGIN, MP SPECTRUM, MP TURF STARTER and other fertilisers within Living Turf’s product range. EcoAdvance® Premium Biology is a proprietary inoculum containing: 

Bacillus spp.: These beneficial bacteria solubilise phosphorus, fix atmospheric nitrogen, and stimulate root growth. 

Trichoderma spp.: Fungi that solubilise soil minerals, and promote root development. 

Glomus spp.: Mycorrhizal fungi that extend root reach and create a network for nutrient and water exchange. 

Biostimulants: Nutrients and phytohormones that boost microbial and root growth 

EcoAdvance® premium biology contains viable microbial spores.

How Does It Work?

EcoAdvance® Biology is activated by water when fertiliser granules are applied. This “kick-starts” microbial activity, connecting turf roots with the soil microbiome and supporting natural cycling, nutrient release, improved soil structure, and moisture retention.
