We have posted some flood warnings and news on the website, and we will continue to keep you informed of any advice or updates as they are received. We are helping wherever we can. Pitchcare is involved in a seminar with the Yorkshire Cricket Board, at Headingley at the end of August, for groundsmen affected by the floods, with renovation advice and information. Also, with the support of several industry companies, we are helping a local cricket club in South Yorkshire, Oughtibridge, with their repairs. Any help you can offer to your less fortunate colleagues, I'm sure, will be much appreciated. These are the times when we need to pull together more than ever. Good Luck Dave Saltman - MD, Pitchcare Magnum Co
Magnum co contains solvents which dissolve and remove waxy particles. It contains non-ionic surfactants which coat soil particles ensuring continued free percolation of water. The acid replacement component, RePhlex, which is contained within Magnum co, liberates natural free calcium which is available to feed the plant, flush unwanted salts from the soil profile and open up soil pores for better drainage and aeration. Magnum Co is a curative wetting agent and should be used as the initial application in a programme with protectant wetting agents such as Magnum Calibre or Magnum Citrique. Flood News
