Advanced Turf Solutions launches six new infield products

Advanced Turf Solutions introduced its new Advanced Infield Solutions (AIS) product line at the 2023 SFMA Conference and Exhibition in Salt Lake City. The AIS line includes five new brands and a total of six new products.

The Advanced Infield Conditioner brand includes ATS1000, ATS2000 and Advanced Dry. These three products are calcined clay conditioners that absorb moisture and reduce compaction on the infield.

Advanced Dry is a calcined clay product that absorbs moisture and reduces slick spots on the mound and around the bases. Advanced Turf Solutions says the product is best used sparingly during rain events.

The Advanced Mound Clay brand includes Professional Mound clay and Gumbo clay. The company says both products maximize performance and safety on batting, pitching and catching surfaces. Gumbo clay is for high-level baseball and softball fields. The team crushes and screens the product and places it in a bag while it’s dry to allow for moisture control, while Professional Mound clay comes pre-moistened.

Advanced Engineered Soils is an infield mix containing sand, silt and clay that provides a surface that plays well in all weather conditions. Its SCR is 0.5–1.0.

“We’ve been working on this AIS line for a while now, so it’s exciting to finally bring it to market,” said Brian Winka, vice president of sports turf sales at Advanced Turf Solutions. “I can’t think of a better place to introduce these new products than at the SFMA show, with so many sports field managers gathered under one roof for a week out of the year.”

The six new AIS products will be available in February, but field managers can place advance orders immediately.
