Scotts launches new liquid and organic based fertilizers at BTME

Scotts introduced two brand new fertilizer ranges to the market at Harrogate Week 2010.

The Sportsmaster WSF range will replace Scotts' existing Sierrasol products and consists of three premium water soluble fertilizers - High N, High P and High K - which cover all turf feeding requirements and seasons. They contain the unique TMax additive for enhanced foliar and root nutrient uptake and to give turf consistent colour with no rapid tail-off plus chelated trace elements to boost growing performance. Sportsmaster WSF is available in a variety of analyses and all are tank-mixable, enabling turf managers to deliver the precise nutrient requirement in one convenient application.

Sportsmaster OrganiCRF is a blend of both organic fertilizer and Scotts' patented Poly-S controlled release fertilizers to ensure more consistent performance versus conventional organic products. Ideal for use during the main growth periods, high nitrogen levels allow for appropriate top growth and recovery during periods of heavy use. The organic content is manufactured from HACCP-accredited material to ensure it is free from pathogens whilst organic sources of phosphorus and potassium encourage a strong, resilient sward. Sportsmaster OrganiCRF's mini granules disperse easily ensuring even distribution.

Both ranges are suitable for use on golf tees and fairways, local authority and landscaped areas and sports pitches.

Commenting on the new ranges Scotts' International Technical Manager, Stuart Staples, said: "Both new ranges offer outstanding value for money while at the same time ensuring top quality turf performance. The key to this is the use of premium nutrient technologies that optimise nutrient uptake efficiency. Sportsmaster OrganiCRF with Poly-S technology provides up to 3 months longevity from a single application, meaning less applications and better balance turf growth. Sportsmaster WSF contains TMax nutrient uptake activator to ensure efficient nutrient delivery while using very low rates. Both products will complement each other when used in a programmed approach."
