Keep water usage down and greenery up!

Some major cities such as Los Angeles, had nearly 30% increase in the monthly cost between 2016 and 2017. It is expected to increase another 15% over the next few years. Currently many solutions are being proposed to keep the cost as low as possible, but currently the increase is unavoidable due to maintenance of aging infrastructure.

Although it is not possible to decrease the cost of water prices, it is possible to reduce the total water consumption. Kurapia can be irrigated at 20% of ETo, and reduce water usage and ultimately, the overall cost of monthly rates.

Turfgrass and Landscape Research Field Day

Annual presentation for world-class research activities at UCR.
September 13, 2018
UC Riverside Turfgrass Research Facility

A large numbers of guests visit our booth every year. This year, however, we had many opportunities to introduce Kurapia to landscape experts and government officials. Nearly half of the guests who made a visit to the booth had already been introduced to Kurapia, and that their clients were very satisfied with the product.

Three different booths from ours were also exhibiting Kurapia. Our company collaborated with EcoTech Services, one of the official Kurapia distributors. Other Kurapia exhibitors at the expo were West Coast Turf, S&S Seeds, and Florasource, which exhibited Kurapia sod and Kurapia plug. We would like to thank all of the guests who visited our company's booth.

We held a seminar on Drought Tolerance Turf Alternative and Erosion Control at the same convention on the 5th. Approximately 20 guests happily attended the whole 90-minute seminar. We collaborated with Ms. Nayeli Mizoo from EcoTech Service and presented the great qualities of Kurapia. We explained what Kurapia is, it's benefits, installation procedure, and maintenance of Kurapia in detail.

As a part of the presentation, we have announced a new study of Kurapia’s CO₂ Absorption, which is up to 3 times more efficient than the average turf.

Please contact our company if you are interested or have missed the opportunity to do so at the seminar.

A number of Master Gardeners from Orange County have given Kurapia a positive evaluation.

Here are some of the positive feedback about Kurapia we received from visitors.

"This is my first time hearing about Kurapia and how impressive it is."

"I wish I would've known about it a while back."

"I use the product already and love it."

"I would certainly recommend it's use to others."

We would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation to the sponsors and the UC ANR staff who were so dedicated in holding this workshop.

1. Identifying the appropriate herbicides to get rid of Sedge Weed (the common name for Cyperaceae) that is in Kurapia already in use.
2. Identifying the appropriate herbicides to get rid of turf grass that may emerge again upon replacing turf grass with Kurapia.
3. Identifying potentially harmful herbicides (such as "Roundup for Lawns", "Weed-B-Gon") that homeowners may purchase at garden centers.

Kurapia was tested once it was fully established, as the results may have been different for newly planted Kurapia.

The results were favorable. Herbicides specializing in removing Sedge Weed, including "Sedgehammer+", "Certainty", and "Monument", prolonged the amount of time it took flowers to bloom, but caused no damage to Kurapia overall. "Grass Getter" and "Fusilade II", which are grass herbicides, caused no harm to Kurapia. A number of Commercial Herbicides accessible for homeowners (“Roundup for Lawns”, “Weed-B-Gon”) were actually harmful to Kurapia in the recommended amounts.  It is possible, however, to reduce the damage dealt to a point where the Kurapia can recover in a short period of time.  This can be done by diluting the chemical with water to half concentrate.

It is important to note that the Kurapia must be at least 2 inches thick when you spray “Roundup for Lawns”, “Weed-B-Gon” to aim minimum damage to Kurapia. If Kurapia is mowed down too thin, the herbicides may cause severe damage.

These common homeowner herbicides contain chemicals that eliminate "Broadleaf Weed", which Kurapia belongs to, leading to inevitable harm of some degree.

We will continue to conduct research on how long it takes Kurapia to recover from any damage.

The entire study is available here.
