Microbial and Enzyme Technology
As a leader in practical and environmentally friendly biotechnology, Lebanon Seaboard works to develop microbial products for plant care. These products inoculate the soil with beneficial microbes that provide a variety of benefits to the plant. These inoculants can make macronutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus and essential micronutrients more accessible for plant absorption.  They can build a more positive soil structure by breaking down organic matter and binding soil particles together. Certain microbes can even improve water uptake by plants and thus mitigate drought stress.

USDA and university testing confirm that unique microbes called mycorrhizae can bring greater quantities of soil nutrients and moisture to the plant, resulting in a dramatic increase in plant health and performance, particularly in less-than-ideal soil types. Research by the ROOTS team led to the introduction of products with the widest commercial range of mycorrhizal species available.

Certain products utilize specific strains which can perform other tasks, including controlling disease (EcoGuard, Taegro), reducing ticks and destructive insect pests (Met52), or reducing thatch (Thatch-less).

Chelation Technology
Proprietary chelating technologies produce plant micronutrients that are highly soluble in water and the soil, buffered against pH extremes and easily absorbed by plants.  These chelated compounds form the basis for a unique line of effective, non-staining mineral products.  

Organic Granulation Technology
Patented granulation process produces organic-based granules with superior degree of uniformity.  These granules can be produced as small as 100 SGN with virtually no dust, low ash and minimal salt content.  They will neither swell nor break down prematurely when exposed to water.  No sticky binders are used so the granules will not adhere to rollers or application equipment.  This technology results in an easy, accurate application of high quality products.

Growth Enhancement Technoloogy
The company pioneered the use of patented plant beneficial substances developed at Yale University.  ROOTS formulations are compounded from trace nutrients and vitamin-containing horticultural products to improve plant growth and health. The Lebanon Seaboard family of ROOTS products includes 1>2>3 Premix Plus, ironROOTS, ROOTS Concentrate and other innovative products that feature the powerful ROOTS growth enhancement package that helps supply the plant with the nutrition and other resources needed to grow and stay healthy and vigorous.

It is our goal to assist in solving turf management problems and assuring efficient production of ornamentals in a practical, cost-effective, nature-sensitive approach. Many managers have learned that the key to rethinking tomorrow is biological technology. Lebanon Seaboard’s commitment to this industry will help attain maximum performance in the field while conserving valuable resources.
