Golf course renovations and construction projects create unique fertility challenges. Whether establishing turf on a newly built green, renovating tees and fairways, or recovering from aggressive aerification programs, success depends on providing the right nutrients at the right time.
Young turf requires more than just nitrogen. It needs phosphorus for root development, micronutrients for healthy growth, and soil-supporting technologies that help maximize nutrient availability. That's where Genesis Rx DG 5-7-5 delivers a distinct advantage.
By combining multiple proven technologies into one convenient dispersing granule (DG) fertilizer, Genesis Rx DG 5-7-5 helps support faster establishment, stronger rooting, and more uniform turf development during the critical grow-in and recovery phases.
Why Fertility Matters During Turf Establishment
Newly seeded, sprigged, or renovated turf faces significant stress. Developing root systems must quickly access nutrients to establish healthy, dense playing surfaces capable of withstanding traffic and environmental stress. Traditional fertility programs often require multiple products to provide phosphorus, micronutrients, and soil-conditioning components. Genesis Rx DG 5-7-5 simplifies that approach by bringing several key technologies together in a single application. The result is a comprehensive fertility solution designed to support turf during renovation, establishment, and recovery.
Multiple Technologies in One DG Formulation
Genesis Rx DG 5-7-5 combines multiple proprietary technologies in a single greens grade formulation for ease of application. This eliminates the need for separate granular applications, reducing labor requirements.
Key components include:
- Contec DG
Genesis Rx DG 5-7-5 is formulated by combining two of our most trusted and widely used fertilizers - Contec DG 18-9-18 and Contec DG 0-0-25. Both leverage our patented Dispersing Granule (DG) technology, which rapidly breaks down upon irrigation to deliver precise nutrient placement in the rootzone and uniform coverage across the canopy. This technology reduces mower pickup, accelerates nutrient availability, and ensures efficient uptake for consistent turf performance. - SmartPhos DG
Genesis Rx DG 5-7-5 also includes SmartPhos DG, an advanced phosphorus source engineered for enhanced availability, efficient plant uptake, and extended nutrient release. Derived from struvite and powered by patented SmartPhos technology, it steadily releases phosphorus over longer periods of time, providing consistent support during critical recovery windows and throughout the growing season. Unlike traditional phosphate sources, SmartPhos DG is not impacted by soil pH, and won’t leach or tie up in the soil, ensuring that more of the applied phosphorus stays available exactly when and where turf needs it most. - Humic DG
Genesis Rx DG 5-7-5 is enhanced with Humic DG, a concentrated source of humic acids designed to replenish soil organic matter. This addition improves nutrient uptake, water-holding capacity, and overall soil health creating a more resilient rootzone and supporting long-term turf performance. - ATEP DG
Also included in Genesis Rx DG 5-7-5 is ATEP DG, our premium micronutrient package designed to deliver magnesium, iron, manganese, zinc, and copper. ATEP DG ensures essential secondary and micronutrient support that complements nitrogen programs and is ideal for use on new greens construction.

Build the Foundation for Long-Term Success
Successful renovation projects begin below the surface. Strong roots, balanced nutrition, and healthy soils all contribute to the development of durable, high-performing turf. Genesis Rx DG 5-7-5 combines Contec DG, SmartPhos DG, Humic DG, and ATEP DG to deliver a comprehensive fertility solution for golf course renovations, new construction projects, and turf recovery programs. By supporting establishment from the ground up, Genesis Rx DG 5-7-5 helps create the foundation for long-term turf performance and playability.
