Headland has added Blaukorn to the company's existing Xtend and Multigreen ranges of outfield, coarse turf fertilisers.
The addition of Blaukorn means Headland can now offer cost-effective conventional, as well as slow or controlled release nutrition, depending on the needs of individual customers.
Blaukorn is a conventional fertiliser, designed for use on Racecourses, Polo Grounds and Sports Pitches as well as tees, fairways and roughs on Golf Courses.
A successor to the discontinued Nitrophoska product, it has improved granule characteristics and an optimum nutrient package with a low risk of scorch. The smaller, blue granules spread more evenly and breakdown more rapidly due to the inclusion of more soluble raw materials.
Both Blaukorn analyses feature immediately available ammonium and nitrate nitrogen to ensure a rapid turf response even during cool spring and autumn temperatures.
The phosphorus content is derived from phosphoric acid for quicker availability to the grass plant and the potassium from sulphate of potash (rather than potassium chloride) for maximum turf safety. Blaukorn products also feature the important secondary plant nutrients - sulphur and magnesium as well as micronutrients, boron, iron and zinc.
Blaukorn is available in two different analyses; 24-5-5+2MgO+micronutrients and 15-3-20+2MgO+micronutrients and both products are packed in 25kg bags.
