Headland Amenity new product launch
BTME 2005 Stand C 26
New Greentec granule boasts potassium nitrate
A new Greentec fine turf fertiliser is just one of three significant new products being launched by Headland at BTME.
A homogenous granule, (average 1mm diameter), the new formulation of 6+5+18 is designed to replace the existing 6+4+12 product, and, like the rest of the Greentec range, contains all the turf nutrients in one granule, rather than as a blend of individual particles. The result is more uniform coverage across fine turf surfaces.
The product's increased potassium content aids winter hardiness, helping reduce stress and the likelihood of disease, as well as improving turf vigor and colour. The inclusion of potassium nitrate means that Greentec 6+5+18 is lower in sulphur, which contributes to "Black Layer" in anaerobic soils.
Potassium nitrate also provides an immediately available source of nitrogen giving a plant response even under cooler temperatures. For this reason, the new Greentec 6+5+18 is not only ideal as an autumn feed, but can also be applied in early spring. Designed for all fine turf areas, golf and bowling greens, as well as croquet lawns, Greentec 6+5+18 can also be applied to golf tees, surrounds and approaches plus other close cut turf.
The product's 4% iron and 1% magnesium, aids leaf hardness and improves winter colour.
