Golf popularity is on an upswing, and a crucial part of a positive experience is maintaining premium quality turfgrass.

The Redox TurfRx team works with superintendents throughout the U.S. and internationally, providing next generation technology for superior results.

New additions to the team will help secure still more positive collaborations.

“It all starts at the beginning with the technology we’re using and the philosophy of plant charge balance,” said Chris Toporski, Redox TurfRx Northeast Agronomist. “If we can get that plant moving in the right direction using those secondary metabolites to really make everything work efficiency, then we can reduce stress on the plant and on the playing surfaces, so the superintendents can take that time to focus on other things.”

TJ Winzeler, the Redox TurfRx Southwest Agronomist, is helping superintendents maintain courses with several challenges, most notably water.

“Down in the Southwest every drop of water that’s used is tracked,” he said. “Every drop of water that’s used is owned by someone and gets paid for by someone. It’s the number one limiting factor in being able to grow any sort of medium and being able to expand your business, in some cases.”

Commonalities between all golf regions, and all of agriculture, is finding the ability to do more with less. Redox TurfRx technology is backed by more than 30 years of research and proven results to do just that.

Low returns, high input costs and a murky trade environment have plagued many growers this year, but there’s at least one brighter spot for agriculture heading into 2026.

“Since September, we’ve seen some adjustments to the federal interest rate, and the downstream effects will impact farmers,” commented Redox Chief Financial Officer, Scott Moulton. “Right now, farmers are spending for their operating lines - getting funding for next year’s crop. Rates in recent years have been upwards of 8 percent. I can see that coming down with what the fed rate is doing. We should see some decreases coming in 2026, and equipment interest rates should soften as well.”

With volatile to higher prices for N, P and K, Moulton said many growers will seek ways to increase efficiency with inputs. Redox technology, including RDX-N®, is specially designed to help growers optimize inputs, while maintaining or enhancing yield and quality.

Sometimes in farming, more isn’t always better. Plant nutrition is a classic example where quality trumps quantity.

Plant charge balance is crucial to yield and quality. It’s not pounds per acre, but charge per acre that matters most. Redox Active Molecules (RAM) balance plant charge by donating or accepting electrons. RAM are part of every product at Redox Bio-Nutrients.

Our growing understanding of successful farming is evidenced by RDX-N, patented proven technology that replaces 50 percent of synthetic nitrogen, while maintaining yields and enhancing crop quality.

“We have a molecule or molecules in our extraction process of the botanical extracts that is more powerful than anything I have ever seen,” remarked Redox owner and CEO, Darin Moon.

Moon said his optimism for the company and technological advancements has never been greater.

South Carolina not only has hundreds of golf courses, it’s also where the first where American golf got it’s start.

Keeping turfgrass in great shape still is a major focus, especially considering the area sees extreme hold and cold conditions.

Sam Adams is in charge of making Paris Mountain Country Club look its best, and he relies on a host of Redox TurfRx products to get the job done.

“For me, you can’t put a price on having healthy greens,” he said. “We definitely don’t want to skimp on quality on our greens.”

TurfRx products in use at Paris Mountain include OxyCal, Platinum, Supreme and Xtraction, which he said provide tremendous stress relief, especially during summer heatwaves.

Adams has been superintendent at Paris Mountain since 2014. The course debuted in 1938.

Nitrogen is the most used macronutrient and has long been crucial to abundant crops. New understandings indicate there are ways to reduce nitrogen use while maintaining yield and quality, as well as improving the environment.

Our patented new technology RDX-N® is changing this landscape in an unprecedented way. A small amount of RDX-N, added along with liquid nitrogen applications, replaces up to 50 percent of the nitrogen needed for yield and quality.

“The results are going to blow you away,” said Brett Meyer, fifth-generation grower and founder of Meyer Seeds in Torrington, Wyoming. Meyer produced a strong corn crop with less liquid nitrogen this season, thanks to including RDX-N.

Following the positive results, Meyer is comfortable in recommending RDX-N, which is already gaining ground among his network or growers.

“If it doesn’t work on our farm, we don’t talk to our customers about it,” Meyer said. “RDX-N is on a lot more acres out here than where we intended, because our tissue samples were coming back so positive that we had faith in it. Everybody that we’ve had include it is seeing the same results. “

One of every three U.S. potatoes is grown in Idaho, and the industry has a well-earned reputation of quality and abundance.

Miller Research is a 50-year-old family business that contributes to that success. Their work, combined with others in the scientific community, led to a near doubling of Russet Burbank potato yields over the last 50 years.

Terry Miller and his son, Jeff, have rich academic backgrounds, which help them carry out crucial research for growers and companies at their office and research farm in Idaho’s Minidoka County.

It’s a great industry,” remarked Jeff Miller, company President, CEO and Principal Field Investigator. “These are very down-to-earth people, men and women who are very passionate about what they do. They love what they do. It’s more than just a job."

Miller Research works in a wide variety of areas, including efficacy of crop protection materials.

Family is the heart of farming and has been for generations. Lindsay LaMora spent much of her early years following along with her father, Jeff Alicandro, a crop consultant with a legendary reputation in New York.

Following Jeff’s passing, Linsday decided to follow in his giant footsteps, and is now working in a similar capacity with growers, through her work at Ag BioTech.

Lindsay says getting the best results for growers requires being a lifelong learner.

“It is important to start learning and never stop learning,” she said. “Especially when it comes to fertility. My dad definitely had that mindset from the beginning.”

Apples cover well over 20,000 acres in Wayne County, making it the third largest for this crop in the U.S.

Lindsay says she’s seen great success with advanced nutrition from Redox and Ag BioTech. She says biostimulants provide substantial benefits to growers, including helping orchards thrive through cold spells and other abiotic stress events.
