Science Meets Performance: Why ThatchZyme and MATCHplay Superior Liquids Work Better Together

20 November, 2025

 

In the pursuit of healthier, more resilient turf, innovation and science are key drivers of success. At the heart of this progress lies the powerful synergy between ThatchZyme and MatchPlay Superior Liquids – a partnership that is transforming plant health and surface performance.

While ThatchZyme begins the job by enzymatically breaking down organic matter, its full impact is realised when paired with MATCHplay Superior Liquids.

Products such as MP Promote and MP Foundation are highly charged microbial solutions that complement ThatchZyme’s enzymatic action. These liquids introduce beneficial microbes that accelerate organic matter conversion and improve soil structure, creating a synergistic rhizosphere. 

The impact we have started to see is firmer playing surfaces, improved nutrient cycling, and a healthier root zone.

The Science Behind the Success

Why does this combination work so well?

It’s all about synergy. ThatchZyme initiates the breakdown of complex organic compounds, including the notoriously stubborn lignin. Meanwhile, MatchPlay Superior Liquids provide the microbial workforce needed to complete the transformation, turning organic matter into humus and releasing essential nutrients back into the soil. 

This dynamic duo doesn’t just improve soil health; it enhances plant health. With a healthier root environment, plants can access water and nutrients more efficiently, leading to stronger growth and improved stress tolerance.

In short: ThatchZyme starts the breakdown, MATCHplay finishes the transformation.
