Plant Protection Chemicals
Just because its made in Australia
should not mean a reduction in
quality. In fact many innovative
companies exist in the Australian
turf pesticide industry. They are
familiar with our conditions and so
are able to better offer tailored
solutions. Indigo Specialty are a
prime example of this. Plant
Protection options available
include:
• Insecticides
• Herbicides
• Fungicides
• Pigments
• PGRs
• Adjuvants
• Aquatic weed and algae
control
• Integrated Vegetation
Management
Intelligent Play™
An innovative technology for field
management using artificial
intelligence and machine learning.
This technology makes fields play
better, play longer and play safer.
It is the only technology on the
market using artificial intelligence
and machine learning to remove the
risk of human error for monitoring
and managing the status of your
sports field.
Turf Seed
Advances in plant genetics
have lead to rapid
improvements in plant breeding.
In the most recently completed
independent NTEP trials
completed in 2021 Intense PRG
( Landmark Seeds) was one
of the top performing perennial
ryegrass cultivars.
This has been bred with
specific traits such as disease
resistance, high wear tolerance
and dark green colour. Intense
is listed in the The Alliance for
Low Input Sustainable Turf.
Gilba Solutions offer a unique solutions driven approach to their current and
future clients with state of the art, simple to use technology.
Technology constantly evolves, and Gilba Solutions has aligned itself with some of the turf industry's
most innovative companies. All these companies operate with one philosophy: To help you produce
the best quality
turf surface
in
the most environmentally practical manner possible.
Unlike many companies, we have a genuine passion for our work, and why we are constantly
looking for solutions rather than simply supplying products.
Gilba Solutions believes in making your life easier
• Accurate realtime data from your
sports field will help you manage
and improve surface performance.
• A well maintained quality field
surface plays better and ensures
consistent player safety.
• Compact sensor design ensures
the units can be discreetly
installed without affecting the
aesthetic of your fields.
Being more environmentally
responsible and using less pesticide
whilst maintaining quality surfaces
should be the aim of all turf
managers. The introduction of
Vertmax Duo and SAR-G both with
QDT™ technology addresses this.
Research and Product
Develeopment
We constantly trial,
develop and improve
products to ensure they
give the best possible
results.

perennial ryegrass with
high winter activity

VERTMAX™ DUO with QDT™. Since its introduction in 2021, Vertmax Duo has become Australia's No 1 turf pigment. The
reason for this is simple. It is the most researched and trialled turf pigment on the market and has consistently outperformed
everything else on the market. The end result is a unique formulation offering a whole host of benefits to the professional turf
manager.
• An instant natural, long lasting green colour response.
• As it contains a unique elicitor, an increase in the ability of turf to handle abiotic stress such as heat, and biotic factors like
disease.
• An increase in root volume and lateral root growth.
•
It protects the turf plant against UV radiation.
•
It contains an APG surfactant which allows even application and spreading over the leaf surface.
•
It has a high degree of tank compatibility and this, coupled with the surfactant package means better results from
pesticide applications.
•
It contains a high quality sticker which means once it dries it doesn't stain clothing.
Non staining
Trial work both in Australia and
the UK has shown that once it
dries, Vertmax Duo does not go
back into solution. That's why it's
the product of choice on golf
courses and sporting venues.
Better germination
Extensive field and lab trials have shown better
germination and seedling growth. In germination
trials Vertmax Duo™ with QDT™ (Quick Dry
Technology) gives faster germination and seedling
growth of perennial ryegrass.
Better Turf Quality
In field trials carried out on a mixed Agrostis/Poa
annua green both Vertmax™ Duo with QDT™
and Vertmax™ plus Grenadier™ (fosetyl
aluminium) outperformed the current pigment
based market leaders.
The combination of high pigment loading, and QDT
(Rapid Dry Technology) gives superior results to
anything else currently on the market.
Longer lasting
In a field trial at a Group 1 golf course in
Sydney Vertmax Duo gave a longer
lasting colour response than Ryder
pigment on creeping bentgrass greens.

The Market Leaders in Non-Chemical Turf Management
Being innovators we like to keep at the forefront of technical advances that can help our customers. This is even more the case if
it involves getting great results with less chemical use.
The first company in Australia to introduce LED turf grow lights.
In 2020 Comm Bank Stadium was the first Venue in Australia to introduce LED grow Lights. The SeeGrow System gives up to
10mm root and top growth in 24 hours and with a patented C02 canopy they get great results no matter what time of year.
Introducing Ozone Technology.
Our latest innovation utilizes ozone technology to address soil, leaf and hard surface pathogens. Unlike some products this
system generates ozone in situ, has extensive trial data supporting its claims and can be tractor or Utility Vehicle mounted.
The possibilities of this are endless:
• Treat playgrounds and other hard surfaces for
pathogens such as
• Clean synthetic sports surfaces and prevent
algae formation.
• Take an environmental approach to turf grass
management of both soil and leaf pathogens
including turf nematodes
So now there exists an option to move away from ‘hard chemistry’,
and adopt an environmentally friendly approach.
No residues or containers to dispose of and after treatment it breaks
down to oxygen, with one application lasting up to 6 months.

A-List Accredited Grass is the Future.
The A-List is the Alliance for Low Input Sustainable Turf. This is a non-profit
organization that evaluates and promotes high turf quality while benefiting the
environment through turfgrass varieties that require less water, fertilizer,
chemicals, and pesticides.
