Ocean Knowledge

Last week, we visited Oberstaufen, Germany for the Evergreen Golf Seminar! It was a great opportunity to discuss the benefits of OceanGlas and how our cold processed seaweed extract can support golf course superintendents in managing turf health and performance.

We had a great week at the BWI Expo in Nashville!🌱 It was a pleasure meeting with the BWI team and customers throughout the week, discussing OceanGlas, its benefits, and it's role in supporting healthier, stronger turf.

🌱 OceanGlas are exhibting at the BWI Expo in Nashville! Come visit the OceanGlas team at Booth 934 and learn how our cold-processed Ascophyllum nodosum extract can support healthier, more resilient turf.

Turf across Ireland and Europe is feeling the heat this summer! See how OceanGlas helps improve resilience, recovery and performance in our latest flyer. 🌱

Fresh Ascophyllum nodosum collected in the Irish sunshine this week ☀️ Straight from the Atlantic coast to your turf! 🌱 #OceanGlas

We’re excited to be exhibiting OceanGlas at the GCSAA Conference & Trade Show 2026 in Orlando on February 4th & 5th. Join us at Booth #1226 to learn more about OceanGlas, our premium Ascophyllum nodosum liquid kelp extract!

Colder temperatures are setting in across Ireland and the UK! OceanGlas supports turf during frost conditions by helping maintain leaf and root density, supporting primary root development, increasing natural chlorophyll and improving plant recovery when growth is limited. ❄️🌱

New trial just completed!👇 Independent NDVI analysis on professional bentgrass has shown a clear increase in chlorophyll levels following OceanGlas applications vs water only controls. 🌱 ✅Better colour ✅Higher photosynthetic efficiency ✅Stronger turf performance

🌱 Our strongest result yet! Independent leaf tissue analysis on professional turfgrass has revealed a significant increase in polyphenol content following OceanGlas application. Polyphenols help support stronger colour retention, recovery, and overall turf health!

OceanGlas will be represented at the 46th Congress of the Spanish Association of Greenkeepers in Murcia, Spain this week. Proudly supporting our partner @NewTurfTech! Be sure to connect with @CarlosPacheco69 at the event to learn more about OceanGlas! 🌱

Today we’re focusing on Laminarins, naturally occurring polysaccharides in Ascophyllum nodosum that play a vital role in enhancing turfgrass health & resilience! OceanGlas treated turf showed higher laminarin content, meaning stronger natural protection & improved turf health.🌱

🎉Congratulations to Daniel McCloskey!  Delighted to see Daniel crowned RSA Summer Mini Cup Champion last Sunday at Nutts Corner. 🏁 Everyone at Ocean Knowledge is proud to be associated with and to support such a talented, determined, and inspirational young person!

🌿OceanGlas boosts alginate levels in turfgrass! Alginates, naturally found in Ascophyllum nodosum, play a vital role in improving soil structure, developing stronger roots, enhancing water retention and supporting beneficial microbial activity in the rootzone.🌿

🌿Our Mannitol Accumulation Trial on Bentgrass & Ryegrass shows elevated mannitol levels after OceanGlas application. Mannitol is a key compound found naturally in Ascophyllum nodosum that helps improve water balance, stress recovery & turf resilience under tough conditions. 🌱

Independent leaf tissue analysis on Ryegrass and Bentgrass shows a substantial increase in proline accumulation following OceanGlas application. This priming effect plays a key role in helping turf maintain water balance, withstand drought, and recover faster from abiotic stress.

We’re excited to share that OceanGlas will be exhibted at the 2025 BWI Expo next week! 🌱 Come visit us at Booth No. 740 to learn more about how OceanGlas, our premium Ascophyllum nodosum kelp extract, can support turfgrass performance through proven research and innovation.

Our latest in house OceanGlas root development trial showed a 34.86% increase in root development compared to the watered control. Stronger roots, healthier turf! 🌱 Take a look at the results below. 👇

Part 2 – Microbial Activity in the USGA Rootzone Following on from last week’s post, we’re highlighting more beneficial microbacteria linked to OceanGlas applications. Check them out below! 🌿
