MP Filter Plus: A Holistic Solution for Turf Stress Management
Turf managers and professionals understand that stress conditions such as heat, cold, drought, salinity, and low light can severely impact turf health and performance. MP Filter Plus is an advanced formulation designed to proactively prepare turf for these challenging periods.
Stop stress induced damage before it starts
√ Proactive Stress Mitigation: MP FILTER PLUS is engineered to optimise turf’s stress signalling pathways, enabling turf to better withstand and adapt to adverse conditions before damage sets in.
√ Synergistic Technology: This formulation blends patented turf hormones, organic acids (notably ascorbic acid), and essential trace elements (zinc, copper, cobalt). Together, these components regulate stress-response pathways, support the synthesis of heat shock proteins (HSPs) for cellular protection, and enhance nutrient absorption through both foliage and roots promoting overall turf vitality and resilience.
√ Versatile Application: Suitable for both cool and warm season turf, MP FILTER PLUS can be integrated into existing stress management programs. For cool season turf, it is ideal leading into summer stress; for warm season turf, it helps retain form as winter approaches.
The stress-ready effect
MP FILTER PLUS is designed to activate the turf’s internal defence systems before stress takes hold. It acts at the biochemical level, providing the necessary precursors and cofactors for the energy-intensive production of HSPs.
√ HSPs act as molecular guardians during periods of heat, cold, drought, salinity, and UV stress. These proteins stabilise cellular structures and protect vital enzymes, allowing turf to maintain function under pressure. This ensures that turf is not only able to survive but thrive during periods of environmental stress.
√ The inclusion of trace elements such as zinc, copper, and cobalt further supports hormone and enzyme synthesis. These elements play a critical role in signalling pathways that help turf detect and respond to changing environmental conditions.
This means turf treated with MP FILTER PLUS is not only protected, but also adaptive, and physiologically prepared.
For best results, incorporate MP FILTER PLUS into a MATCHPLAY Superior Liquid stress mitigation programme. Used alongside complementary products such as MP Vitalise, MP Energise, MP Foundation, and MP Refresh, it forms a comprehensive, multi-layered strategy for turf stress management by maximising resilience, accelerating recovery, and ensuring consistent turf health throughout every season.

stress for 10 days.
Maintains colour & growth in temperature extremes
√ MP Filter Plus kept colour and active growth
√ Control showed whitening and dieback
Reduced burn & faster recovery from 40°C heat stress
√ MP Filter Plus less burn‑off and recovered faster once returned to normal light
Earlier & stronger recovery after water stress
√ MP Filter Plus faster green regrowth post‑dieback
√ Control slower and weaker
