PURE GREEN II-B
THE BLACK LAYER, HARD PACK, FUNGUS & BARE SPOT SOLUTION
THE NATURAL SOLUTION
PURE GREEN II-B Contains a concentrated blend of humic and fulvic acids,
enzymes, amino acids, vitamins, and nitrogen. This rich combination both feeds
and activates beneficial aerobic microbes to build better soil structure, reduce
compaction and BLACK LAYER. Its organic acids buffer sodium to help leach it out
of the root zone. It acts as a catalyst, which immediately stimulates the
metabolism and growth of microorganisms, accelerating nature’s biodegrading
process at an exceedingly rapid rate. It acts by stimulating the metabolism of
microorganisms. This stimulation is quite general and affects aerobic and
controls anaerobic and facultative organisms. This enhanced metabolism enables
bacteria to rapidly degrade contaminates in soil to carbon dioxide, water and
simple salts.
PURE GREEN II-B also enables microorganisms to metabolize certain organic
compounds such as phenolics, chlorinated hydrocarbons and amines, which are
normally only very slowly metabolized. It contains certain nutrients that
promote growth in the soil environment.
PURE GREEN II-B is an all natural blend of concentrated acids, enzymes,
vitamins, and nitrogen. This robust combination of ingredients nurtures and acts
as a catalyst for important microorganisms to build better soil composition,
decrease compaction and the condition known as ‘BLACK LAYER’.
PURE GREEN II-B has been proven to increase antioxidant production and the
capacity and respiration of photosynthesis. This action results in root growth
that is deep and dense as well as enhanced drought stress. PURE GREEN II-B
promotes aerobic bacteria growth. Aerobic bacteria growth contributes to healthy
root structure.
PURE GREEN II-B used in a maintenance program can produce healthier grass and
turf and make them more resistant to detrimental environmental issues and
diseases such as BLACK LAYER.
The BLACK LAYER Solution
A major problem for golf courses worldwide is a condition called BLACK LAYER.
The BLACK LAYER is the layer under the turf in the roots that has gotten
saturated with too much water and consequently has rotted and died from the lack
of oxygen. It can be diagnosed in one way by the smell that emits from the turf.
It reminds one of the smell of rotten eggs. Sulfides in the soil create this
odor.
These soil conditions typically occur when the soil becomes laden with too much
water and there is not enough oxygen moving throughout the soil. Oxygen
traveling through soil is much slower than oxygen traveling through the air. Any
restriction at all creates an anaerobic condition that is not conducive to
healthy soil or roots. Grass starved at the root level cannot grow properly.
As depicted in the illustration, there is a distinct dark, “black” layer in
this core sample of a green. In addition to the condition described above,
another contributing factor to the black deposits in the soil is the chemical
reaction of elements being exposed to the metal in the soil.
The biological imbalance in soil systems is often induced by a lack of oxygen
and the proliferation of unwanted anaerobic bacteria, as well as the
accumulation of other organic matters. These conditions exist due to the lack of
natural stimulation of favorable aerobic biosystems. These aerobic microbes will
not thrive in environments unsuited to their growth and metabolic activities.
The solution is to break the anaerobic chain by inducing the release and
production of oxygen and other beneficial substances into the soil environment.
PURE GREEN II-B is the solution to get the needed oxygen to the root system.
HARD PACK SOIL PROBLEM
Pure One Environmental is quite experienced in HARD PACKED soil since we produce
the finest soil stabilizer for the building, repair and improvement of dirt
roads in the world. We developed a product that binds soil particles together so
that they make a compacted surface that is warranted for a period of eight years
that services automotive traffic and is classified as a useable base capable of
supporting an asphalt or concrete finish surface. What does this have to do with
golf courses? Well, understanding hard pack soil to the degree of making a road
gives use the knowledge and experience to reverse the process and provide a
product that will allow water to penetrate into the soil easily and effectively.
Our stabilizer, PURE CRETE binds the soil particles to make a road and our
product PURE GREEN II-B works in an opposite manner to solve the hard pack
problem that is common on golf courses and athletic fields.
HOW DOES IT WORK
PURE GREEN II-B is completely soluble so when mixed with water and spray, it
absorbs into the top layer of the soil. It is very common that compacted soil is
due in part to high mineral content; adding to the compaction problem is the
clay particles and the minerals that combine into the clay. First, our product
chelates the mineral and frees up the soil particles from the compacted state.
This is done by breaking the bonds that are holding the soil particles in that
compacted state. Inclusive in the compacted soil is polysaccharides which are
produced during the stimulation of the growth of anaerobic bacteria. So the
aerobic bacteria are the common producers of polysaccharides for the rebuilding
of a healthier soil structure. By modifying the soil structure, the chelation
and bridging and building of a healthier soil through polysaccharides
production, will increase the water absorbsion through the soil. This process is
accomplished by an organic molecule grabbing and wrapping around a mineral ion
in the soil. For example, iron and calcium have sites on their chemical
structure where the chelant can grab hold of a mineral and pull it away from a
clay particle or whatever it happens to be bound to at that site.
In order for the process to be successful, aerobic bacteria reduce the presence
of anaerobic bacteria. This is done by introducing the presence of oxygen. An
oxygen rich environment supports aerobic bacteria growth and reduces anaerobic
bacteria growth. This increase in oxygen is achieved by freeing up oxygen from
the water molecules that are present in the abundance of water that is applied
and that is present in the sub surface area especially in the BLACK LAYER
region. A derivative of this product comes from another product that we offer
that is used in the aquaculture farming industry that has a primary function of
producing dissolved oxygen from the pond water. PURE GREEN II-B contains a
biocatalyst formula that stimulates water borne and soil borne microorganisms to
produce several powerful chelating compounds in addition to polysaccharides.
Another is known as poly proteins. This biocatalyst formula stimulates aerobic
biological activity by enzymatically releasing oxygen through a unique system
contained in the product. This enzyme known as H2O Dehydrogenase, (HDH) reduces
the bonds between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms that comprise the water
molecule. This subsequent release of elemental oxygen provides energy for the
respiration of aerobic microorganisms and improves the bio-oxidation rate of
carbon containing matters. The hydrogen remaining from the reaction acts to
buffer the hydroxyl or alkaline components that are formed or released during
the metabolic activities of these microbes. In a nutshell, the oxygen in the
water that is mixed with PURE GREEN II-B and the water that is trapped in the
ground is the source of the oxygen that propagates the growth of aerobic
bacteria and releases hydrogen. This hydrogen release is a primary function of
the sulfur burner process employed by some to aid in dealing with hard packed
soil.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
In order for PURE GREEN II-B to prove that it is effective in penetrating the
hard packed soil, there had to be some form of quickly, efficiently and
definitively measuring the results of using the product. By demonstrating that
BLACK LAYER can be eliminated by applying PURE GREEN II-B will prove without
question that the hard pack soil problem can be solved by applying the product
as directed. The length of time that it takes to eliminate the BLACK LAYER
condition is the time that it will take to initially demonstrate the hard pack
soil problem is being controlled. You will start to see a difference in from 3
to 8 applications. The time depends on weather, temperature, watering volume and
product application rate. For severe hard pack and BLACK LAYER conditions, the
prescribed amount can be increased to double the amount.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
GREENS AND TEES
Apply 8 ozs. of PURE GREEN II-B mixed with 8 - 20 gallons of water per 1000
square feet. Perform normal watering immediately after application. Apply every
2 weeks until the BLACK LAYER condition does not exist. Monitor the progress of
the application by taking a core simple on a weekly basis until the condition is
determined not to exist.
It normally requires 2 to 6 weeks to clear up the condition if applied in warm
weather and 4 to 8 weeks in cooler weather.
To maintain a BLACK LAYER free condition on Greens and Tees, apply 8 ozs. in 8 –
20 gallons per 1000 square feet of PURE GREEN II-B on a monthly basis along with
the normal chemical applications
For severe HARD PACK Soil condition, double the application amount until
condition is controlled to your satisfaction. If applied through a sprinkler
system, ½ gallon per acre per month can be applied as a maintenance treatment
.
Do not apply in its concentrated form. Must be mixed at the rate prescribed
above.
FAIRWAYS AND ROUGH
Apply ½ gallon of PURE GREEN II-B per acre mixed at a 100 to 1 ratio with water
and applied every 2 weeks until the BLACK LAYER condition no longer exists. It
usually requires 2 to 6 weeks during warm weather and 4 to 8 weeks during cooler
weather to achieve complete success.
We recommend that a test area be selected to prove the effectiveness of the
product first and the test application be performed by mixing ½ gallon of
product with at least 50 gallons of water and applied at the rate of ½ gallon
per acre every 2 weeks. Perform normal watering after applying the product.
For maintenance applications, apply through the sprinkler systems ferdigation
pump distribution system at a rate of ½ gallon per acre per month to maintain a
BLACK LAYER free condition to your Fairways and Rough.
For severe HARD PACK Soil condition, double the application amount until
condition is controlled to your satisfaction. If applied through a sprinkler
system, 1 gallon per acre per month can be applied.
Do not apply in its concentrated, undiluted form unless applied through a pump
distribution system.
Application of PURE GREEN II-B will not affect the effectiveness of any other
fertilizer products that are presently being applied to the soil.

TEST EVALUATION PROTOCOL
1) Select a specific troubled area to be treated that has BLACK LAYER.
2) Calculate the area measurement of the troubled area and calculate the
specific amount of PURE GREEN II-B to be used to cover that area.
Tees & Greens:
Apply 8 ounces per 1000 square feet in 5-20 gallons of water.
Apply 1/2 gallon per acre in 50-100 gallons of water every two weeks until the condition is normal.
Fairways:
Apply ½ gallon per acre once every 2 weeks with sprayer in 50 gallons of water or apply through a fertilizer injection system.
Apply 1 gallon per acre every 2 weeks 100 gallons of water if injection system is not used.
3) Take a core sample of the area prior to treating to determine the severity
of the condition. Take a picture of the core sample and date it.
4) Mix the specified amount of PURE GREEN II-B product with the specified amount
of water to cover that designated area.
5) For test purposes, select a previously unused sprayer and dedicate that
sprayer for the application of PURE GREEN II-B only.
6) Apply PURE GREEN II-B to the specified area with the dedicated sprayer. This
treatment is applied immediately prior to the normal watering schedule of the
area.
7) Apply water immediately following the PURE GREEN II-B using the normal
watering schedule and method.
8) Repeat every 2 weeks
9) Take a core sample every 7 days after beginning treatment. If possible, take
the sampling on the same day each week and in close proximity of the previous
sample. Take a picture of the sample and date it.
